How is a Muslim burial different than a Christian burial/funeral?
There really aren’t TOO many differences. Everyone has seen Christian funeral so I’m not going to dive into that, but a Muslim burial is similar with the exception of preparation. The body of the Muslim is washed in scented water similar to ablution and wrapped in a white shroud and then taken to the place where people are already praying. Muslims don’t get cremated as we see fire and burning to be God’s punishment (hell) so we don’t encourage that upon ourselves on earth. Aside from that, just friends and family and community members praying and saying goodbye.
