    Salat al-Janazah, also known as the funeral prayer, is a specific prayer performed by Muslims for a deceased person. It is a collective obligation (Fard Kifayah), meaning that it must be performed by some members of the Muslim community, and if enough people do it, the obligation is fulfilled for the entire community. Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to perform Salat al-Janazah:

    Step 1: Intention (Niyyah) Begin with a sincere intention in your heart to perform the Salat al-Janazah prayer for the deceased person.

    Step 2: Position Position yourself in a clean place, facing the direction of the Qiblah (the Kaaba in Mecca).

    Step 3: Takbir al-Ihram Raise your hands and say “Allahu Akbar” (Allah is the Greatest) to start the prayer. This is known as Takbir al-Ihram.

    Step 4: Recitation of Opening Supplication After Takbir al-Ihram, recite the opening supplication, which is usually:

    Subhanaka Allahumma wa bihamdika wa tabarakasmuka wa ta’ala jadduka wa jalla thana’uka wa la ilaha ghairuka. A’udhu billahi min ash-shaytan ir-rajim. Bismillahi r-rahmani r-rahim.

    Translation: “Glory be to You, O Allah, and praise be to You, and blessed is Your name, and exalted is Your majesty, and there is no god but You. I seek refuge in Allah from the accursed Satan. In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.”

    Step 5: Recitation of Surah Al-Fatiha Recite Surah Al-Fatiha (the first chapter of the Quran) silently in your heart.

    Step 6: Recitation of Salat al-Ibrahimiyya After Surah Al-Fatiha, recite the Salat al-Ibrahimiyya (the prayer for blessings upon the Prophet Muhammad) silently in your heart. It is usually recited as: “Allahumma salli ‘ala Muhammadin wa ‘ala aali Muhammadin, kama sallaita ‘ala Ibrahima wa ‘ala aali Ibrahima, innaka hamidun majeed.”

    Step 7: Du’a for the Deceased After the Salat al-Ibrahimiyya, you may supplicate to Allah for the forgiveness and mercy of the deceased person. You can make any sincere du’a for them at this time.

    Step 8: Salam Conclude the Salat al-Janazah by turning your head to the right and saying “As-salamu ‘alaykum wa rahmatullah” to end the prayer.

    It’s important to note that Salat al-Janazah is usually performed in a group with an Imam (prayer leader) leading the prayer. The body of the deceased is placed in front of the congregation, and the prayer is performed in the standing position. The number of Takbirs (Allahu Akbar) during the Salat al-Janazah may vary depending on the tradition followed, but it typically includes four Takbirs.

    Additionally, the Salat al-Janazah is a silent prayer, meaning that the recitations and supplications are done silently in your heart, not audibly. It is a respectful and solemn prayer offered for the deceased, asking Allah for forgiveness and mercy for their soul.

    In Islam, it is generally not permissible to pray for an early death before one’s appointed time. Life is considered a precious gift, and seeking death prematurely is discouraged. Instead, it’s encouraged to seek Allah’s help in dealing with difficulties and to show patience and perseverance through challenges. Praying for relief from hardships and strength to endure trials is more aligned with Islamic teachings. If facing emotional or mental distress, seeking professional help and support is important.

    A Step-by-Step Guide to that how to pray in Islam for women’s.

    Muslim women are obligated to pray five times a day, just like men. It’s an important religious duty that must be done in order to stay close to Allah (SWT). These steps given here will help you learn how to perform salah as a woman. From the moment of takbeerat (starting the prayer) until the very end, find out what controls your movement and thoughts during prayer.

    Understand the Foundation of Prayer

    The foundation of prayer in Islam is centered around the five pillars. As a woman, it’s important that you understand these five pillars before beginning your prayer rituals. These are the Shahada (abandonment of all false gods and beliefs and submission to one Allah); Salah or ritual prayer five times each day; Zakat (almsgiving); Sawm (fasting) during the month of Ramadan; and performing Hajj (a pilgrimage to Mecca at least once in a believer’s lifetime).

    1. Establish Your Wudu

    Before each of your prayers, it’s important for you to establish your wudu. This involves washing your face, arms, ears, mouth, nostrils, and feet with pure water 5 times each day. During wudu, it’s good practice to focus on intentions for the upcoming prayer you will be making. Wadu prepares your mind, body and soul for what’s ahead.

    3. Prepare Yourself Physically

    In order to pray properly while adhering to Islamic principles as a woman, you must ensure that you are prepared physically. Find yourself a quiet spot in your home where you can concentrate peacefully outdoors or indoors; then make sure that you are wearing loose-fitting appropriate such as an abbia or jilbab in accordance with Islamic modesty standards before you begin.

    4. Set Your Intention

    After wudu and physical preparation have been completed and you have assumed a position spiritually while standing before the presence of God Almighty. Now make Niyat, say that you are starting Fajar namaz (example). With two farz facing Kabbah. This is how you can set your intention to discuss which namaz you are saying that will be seeking nearness to Allah. This will strengthen your concentration on God even more.

    5. Now time to Perform Namaz (Prayer)
    • Stand
    • Say the first takbeer (Allahu Akbar) while moving your hands in the air close to your ears.

    • Hold hands on belly one after. First left hand then right hand upon.

    • Recite your first dua.

      سُبْحَانَكَ اللَّهُمَّ وبِحَمْدِكَ وتَبَارَكَ اسْمُكَ وتَعَالَى جَدُّكَ ولا إِلَهَ غَيْرُكَ

    • After first dua say “Surah Fatiha”
    • Ready any Verse or “Surah” from Quran.
    • Say Allahu Akbar Now is the Raku time.
    • Raku is when you touch both your hands to the knees and say three times:

      سُبْحَانَ رَبِّي الْعَظِيْم

    • After raising from Raku Stand leave your hands down and say:

      سَمِعَ اللهُ لِمَنْ حَمِدَه

    • After still stand say:

      ربَّنا لَكَ الحَمْد

    • Now Sajud time say Allahu Akbar and move toward the ground. Touch your forehead, your palms to the ground, and say three times:

      سُبْحَانَ رَبِّي الأَعْلَى

    • Again say “Allahu Akbar and sit up and again move down while saying “Allahu Akbar” and repeat the previous step twice.
    • That was the first cycle and repeat the same again and at last sit and keep your palms on your knees and say:

      التَّحِيَّاتُ للِه وَ الصَّلَوَاتُ و الطَّيِّبَاتُ السَّلامُ عَليْكَ أيُّهَا النَّبِيُّ و رَحْمَةُ اللهِ وَ بَرَكاتُهُ السَّلامُ عَلَيْنا و عَلَى عِبَادِ اللهِ الصَّالِحِيْنَ أشْهَدُ أنْ لاَ إلَهَ إلاَّ اللهُ و أشْهَدُ أنَّ مُحمَّداً عبْدُهُ و رَسُولُهُ

    • After the dua read darood e ibrahimi and then say this dua:

      ربَّنا آتِنا في الدُّنْيا حَسَنَة و في الآخرةِ حَسَنَة وَقِنا عَذابَ النّار

    • Last step move your face to right side and then the left side and each time say:

      السَّلامُ عَليْكُمْ وَ رَحْمَةُ الله

    I just have tried to explain in short. It may sound complex but honestly, it is very easy.

    1. Praying to saints instead of directly to God:

    According to the Bible, Christians are supposed to direct their prayers and worship only to God or Jesus. It is wrong for true believers in the Christian faith to pray to or worship any other entity besides God. This includes praying to saints who have already passed away as they cannot intercede on our behalf, nor can they provide us with anything that we need from God in our lives.

    2. Believing that a saint can grant wishes:

    Some people believe that saints can grant them physical desires such as wealth, good fortune, health, etc. However, these requests should not be directed towards saints but rather towards God and Jesus who are able to answer prayers and grant us what we request if it’s in accordance with His will.

    3. Praying for signs of assurance after death:

    After someone passes away, some people may be tempted try and reach out by praying to that particular saint as a way of seeking assurance from them. But there is no Scriptural justification for this kind of behavior as all communication between humans and the afterlife occurs through Jesus Christ alone.

    4. Expecting miracles from a saint:

    While it is understandable why some people would turn towards praying for a miracle or favor from a saint (due the fact that many miracles have been attributed throughout the years), unless you are told by God/Jesus himself then you should never guarantee yourself any sort of miracle because no human being has control over His power.

    5. Making up your own traditions when it comes to praising a saint:

    If someone decides to give praise or thanksgiving under the name of a certain saint then they must abide by the set traditions within the church which involve including biblical readings related specifically to that particular personage rather than making up one’s own traditions based on hearsay or personal beliefs derived outside of Scripture-backed principles .

    6. Overlooking Biblical references when talking about saints:

    Just because someone considers themselves religious does not mean they get authority with their views about holy figures like Saints without having accurate Scriptural references handy. In reality, we should remember always refer back godly sources whenever describing such pious individuals since after all it was first revealed within Holy Scripture how such figures ought be revered for their accomplishments (and even shortcomings).

    7. Trying trying make changes an archetype figure like Saint John Paul II :

    Lastly , make sure respect a saint’s legacy by creating an accurate portrayal any time talking about his figure ; creating fantasy stories out either Catholic history nonbelievers alike just show lack knowledge vandals disrespect wise icons like Pope John Paul II , especially during times commemoration each year
