In Islam, it is customary to bury the deceased as soon as possible, ideally within 24 hours. This practice reflects the belief in the swift transition of the soul to the afterlife and the importance of promptly fulfilling burial rites. Given the gravity of the situation, we at the Muslim Patel Burial Trust will do all in our power to provide a dignified and orderly burial.

The preparation of the body involves two key rituals: Ghusl (ritual washing) and Kafan (shrouding). These are typically performed by close family members of the same gender as the deceased. However, if family members are unable, trained volunteers or professionals can assist. We ensure that these rites are conducted with the utmost respect and in accordance with Islamic traditions.

No, both embalming and cremation are prohibited in Islam. The religion emphasizes the sanctity of the human body, and these practices are seen as a violation of that sanctity. All burial rituals are carried out in accordance with Islamic principles at The Muslim Patel Burial Trust, with the aim of preserving the dignity of the departed.

Traditionally, women do not attend the burial itself; however, this practice can vary depending on cultural norms and personal preferences. At The Muslim Patel Burial Trust, we respect the wishes of the family and provide guidance on this matter, ensuring that all arrangements align with Islamic traditions and the family’s desires.
