| Summary: | This paper will discuss on literatures and the problems that occur to Muslim community
that are dealing with the activity of washing a janazah. The objectives of this study are
to perform the final religious obligation of burial, which includes washing the body,
shrouding, and performing janazah prayers for a deceased Muslim and to create
awareness of the Muslim community and other believers towards the importance of the
duty towards a deceased Muslim and respect towards the deceased. Last but not least
to upholding human dignity in the last rite and diversity among different believers. This
research has been written based on library search, internet retrieval, questionnaires in
order to get the information regarding to the activity. Analyses of interviews are also
conducted to help in organising the research. As a result it is to conclude that by
implementing a new design of wash area, it would help increase the awareness towards
a deceased Muslim and respect towards the deceased in the modern Islamic
community. |
