Janazah Fund
Truly! To Allah we belong and truly, to Him we shall return.” (Quran 2:156)
Did you know?
• Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) urged us, Muslims, to bury our dead as soon as possible. Muslims around the world follow this Sunnah (teaching and practice).
• For many Muslims on Chicago’s South Side, it has been challenging to observe this tradition of Janazah and burial due to economic hardship.
• We have witnessed heart-breaking situations where it took more than two weeks to raise funds to bury a brother in our poor community.
When one among you dies, do not keep him in the house for long. Make haste in taking him to the grave and burying him.”
– Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him)
