Salat al-Janazah
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Salat al-Janazah (Arabic: صلاة الجنازة) is a prayer recited by Muslims at Islamic funerals after the wrapping of the body and before the procession. The spoken part of the prayer involves quietly reading Al-Fatiha, praying for Muhammad and saying two supplications. This is done with an Imam present and facing qibla; in the direction of Mecca.
