***FUNERALS DURING COVID_19***

As we know that from December 2019 till this date the whole globe is suffering from this virus commonly known as corona virus. It has firstly rooted up from Wuhan city of China and spreading just like a wildfire throughout the globe. 33,983 people have died so far from the corona virus COVID-19 outbreak as of March 30, 2020.As we know that many precautions given by the doctors during this virus are to wash your hands regularly, maintain social distance at least 1 meter (3 ft) distance between yourself and the who is affected by common cold etc diseases. The affected persons during this virus should keep him/her in a different place/room, so other people do not catch up with the virus COVID_19. Narrated Abu Huraira: Allah's apostle said; the cattle(sheep, cows, camels, etc) suffering from a disease should not be mixed up with healthy cattle, (or said; "don't put a patient with a healthy person.")as a precaution {Sahih Al Bukhari}

As we know that there is no medicine for this virus till now, only doctors have advised us to To eat Healthy foods which contains many proteins and vitamin "c" And the authority has locked down all the cities we have to Follow this instruction"STAY AT HOMESTAY SAFE"

As we all know that life is a precious gift and also the most uncertain. Know all belief in the uncertainty of life and be prepared for any loss of life.No one can escape death. Why not get prepared for it, instead of avoiding it?

As Allah says in the Quran “Every man shall taste of death”(3:185)

“Wherever you are, death will overtake you, though you remain in logty towers”(4:78)

Narrated ibn Umar (R.A): Allah’s Messenger (SAAS)caught told of my shoulders and said,” Be in the world as though you were a stranger or a wayfarer.”Ibn Umar(RA)used to say, “If you are alive in the evening, do not expect to be alive till the morning and if you are alive in the evening, do not expect to be alive till morning and if you are alive in the morning do not expect to be alive till the evening, and take from your health for your sickness, and from your life for your death”(Sahil al Bukhari)
It is our responsibilities during this period of virus we have to spend our precious time in our houses instead of Roads/markets/playgrounds/Mosques. REMEMBER MY DEAR BROTHER AND SISTERS IF YOUR SUFFER A LOSS OF LIFE OF A BELOVED OR DEAR ONE DURING COVID-19, DON’T COMPLAIN TO THE DOCTOR.REMEMBER, WE ALL WILL GO BACK, SOONER OR LATER AND NO OTHER BUT GOD HIMSELF CONTROLS OUR LIVES. THEN WHY TO COMPLAIN?

The best gifts you can give to the dead ones during COVID-19 are prayers for their pardon and charity on their hehalf.this is the best way of showing your love for the defunct person.

Those, who could not attend the funeral or visit the grieved family during COVID_19 due to the fear of this communicable virus or due to the lockdown or due to instructions given by the authorities, must call in person or send condolence letters/emails to their family members. Don’t delay the funeral.there is no need for holding on the funeral or burial for the family member to come in from far-flung areas as it is practiced these days. We should take a keen notice on the instruction given by the Ulamah(Deen)than rituals.

Narrated Abu Huraira(RA): the prophet Muhammad (SAAS)said, “Hurry up with the dead body for it was righteous, you are forwarding it into a good thing and if it was otherwise (not righteous), then you are putting off an evil thing down your necks(Sahih AL_Bukhari)

Recall this Duaa daily And in shaa Allah virus will be Finished very soon __

اللھم ان ھذا المرض جند من جنودك تصيب به من تشاء و تصرفہ عن من تشاء۔اللھم فصرف عنا و عن بيوتنا و عن اھلنا و ازواجنا و ذراينا و بلادنا و بلاد المسلمين و غير المسلمين و احفظنا مما نخاف و نحذر فانت خير حافظا فانت خير حافظا و انت ارحم الراحمين۔

Translation: OH Allah, this disease recruited from your soldiers you infect whoever you want, and distract it from whoever you want.OH Allah, separate it from us and our homes and our families, our wives, our offspring, and our country, and Muslim and non-muslim countries and keep us from what we fear and warn For you are the best preserver For your are best preserver and you are the most merciful of the merciful.
