Attending the Funeral
دفن میت میں شرکت
The words said on attending a funeral, and among the shortest things in this section.
It is a single verse of the Qur'an (2:201) and nothing else: "Our Lord, grant us good in this world and good in the Hereafter, and save us from the punishment of the Fire."
The choice is the point. Standing at a janaza, the tradition puts in the mourner's mouth not a lament but the prayer that asks for both worlds at once.
بِسْمِ اللہِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِیْمِ
Bismillaahir rahmaanir raheem
In the Name of Allah, the most Gracious, the most Merciful.
اللہ کے نام سے (شروع کرتا ہوں) جو بڑا مہربا ن نہایت رحم کرنے والا ہے۔
رَبَّنَآ اٰتِنَا فِي الدُّنْيَا حَسَنَةً وَّفِي الْاٰخِرَةِ حَسَنَةً وَّقِنَا عَذَابَ النَّارِ۔
Rabbana aatena fid duniya hasanatanw wa fil aakherate hasanatanw wa qena azaaban naar.
Our Lord! grant us good in this world and good in the hereafter and save us from the chastisement of the fire.
اے میرے پروردگار! ہمیں دنیا میں بھی نیکیاں عطا کر اور آخرت میں بھی، اور ہمیں عذابِ جہنم سے بچا۔
اَللّٰهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلٰى مُحَمَّدٍ وَّآلِ مُحَمَّدٍ۔
Allahumma swalle alaa muhammadiw wa aale muhammadin
Allah’s (s.w.t) choicest blessings be upon Mohammed and his holy progeny.
اے معبود! رحمت نازل فرما حضرت محمدؐ اور انکی آل ؑپر۔
