How do Muslims view death?
Like Jews and Christians, Muslims believe that the present life is
only a trial preparation for the next realm of existence. Basic
articles of faith include: the Day of Judgment, resurrection, Heaven
and Hell. When a Muslim dies, he or she is washed, usually by a family
member, wrapped in a clean white cloth, and buried with a simple
prayer preferably the same day. Muslims consider this one of the final
services they can do for their relatives, and an opportunity to
remember their own brief existence here on earth. The Prophet taught
that three things can continue to help a person even after death;
charity which he had given, knowledge which he had taught and prayers
on their behalf by a righteous child.
