The Role of Community in Islamic Funerals

In Islam, funerals are more than personal ceremonies; they are communal acts of worship. From performing the Janazah prayer to attending the burial, the community comes together to support the bereaved and seek forgiveness for the deceased. This collective effort reflects the values of empathy and solidarity, especially vital for the vibrant Muslim community in Sydney, Australia.
