This entry may sound serious and educational-kinda writing but this issue triggers me to write and share

This morning after taken my breakfast and lazing in front of telly before going to work, my dad watched Astro oasis program : Bicara Kifayah which discussed about Solat Jenazah as one of the fardhu kifayah muslim must learn. There’s even the case where some muslim who’s totally blank and perform ruku’ during Solat jenazah which is not a necessary.
Frankly speaking i never forgot i learned Solat Jenazah. I think i did, but only on paper, but never practice it which makes me so shame of myself. i did know the flow but never practically do.
What interest me was that Ustaz Hassan Din said the most rightful person to be the imam is the closest related person to the jenazah. Means if your child meninggal, then the father should really be the imam and conversely. If the wife meninggal, then the husband took the responsible. There even the cases when the father/mother meninggal, the child do not take responsibility to be an imam, worst thing they not even in jemaah.
Wow, i dont wanna be like that..
My mom regularly help with the jenazah prep lately. If any person meninggal around Semenyih and asked the Masjid Jamek Semenyih to settle it, the my mom and Alang(mom’s sis) will prepare the kain kafan, the kapur, the wool and everything you need to wrap a jenazah help with another makcik.
This a big wake up call to really know this thing for me.
Here’s how to perform Solat jenazah courtesy of aki or you can search on youtube to sneak into the movements
1.Mula-mula berdiri betul dan bertakbiratul Ihram “Allahuakbar” disertakan dengan niat iaitu jika mayat orang lelaki :
أُصَلِّي عَلَى هَذَا الْمَيِّتِ أَرْبَعَ تَكْبِيْرَاتٍ ِللهِ تَعَالَى
Ertinya : Sengaja aku sembahyang di atas ini mayat lelaki empat takbir kerana Allah Taala.
Jika mayat perempuan dewasa lafaz niatnya :
أُصَلِّي عَلَى هَذِهِ الْمَيِّتَةِ أَرْبَعَ تَكْبِيْرَاتٍ ِللهِ تَعَالَى
Ertinya : Sengaja aku sembahyang di atas ini mayat perempuan empat takbir kerana Allah Taala.
2. Selepas takbir ini berselawat ke atas Nabi SAW iaitu seperti :
اَللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَى سَيِّدِنَا مُحَمَّدٍ وَعَلَى آلِ سَيِّدِنَا مُحَمَّدٍ
3. Kemudian takbir kali yang ketiga, selepas takbir ini baca dengan doa bagi mayat seperti:
اللّهُمّ اغْفِرْ لَهُ وَارْحَمْهُ وَعَافِهِ. وَاعْفُ عَنْهُ.
Ini lafaz doa bagi mayat lelaki jika perempuan semua ha’ dhomir ditukar kepada haa seperti :
اللّهُمّ اغْفِرْ لَهَا وَارْحَمْهَا وَعَافِهَا. وَاعْفُ عَنْهَا
Dan seterusnya kecuali :
وَفِتْنَتِهِ
Dikekalkan hi berbaris di bawah iaitu :
وَأَعِذْهَا مِنْ عَذَابِ الْقَبْرِ وَفِتْنَتِهِ وَ مِنْ عَذَابِ النَّارِ
4. Selepas itu takbir “Allahuakbar” kali yang keempat kemudia membaca doa :
اَللَّهُمَّ لاَ تَحْرِمْنَا أَجْرَهُ وَلاَ تَفْتِنَّا بَعْدَهُ وَاغْفِرْ لَنَا وَِلإِخْوَانِنَا الَّذِينَ سَبَقُونَا بِالإِيمَانِ وَلاَ تَجْعَلْ فِي قُلُوبِنَا غِلاًّ لِلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا رَبَّنَا إِنَّكَ رَءُوفٌ رَحِيمٌ
Doa ini kepada mayat lelaki dan jika mayat perempuan dhomir berbaris hadapan di ganti dengan haa seperti :
اَللَّهُمَّ لاَ تَحْرِمْنَا أَجْرَهَا وَلاَ تَفْتِنَّا بَعْدَهَا
5. Kemudian memberi salam “Assalamualaikum warahmatullah” seperti lain-lain sembahyang iaitu disudahi dengan memberi salam.
* This is the basic guide, the niat would be different for some rare cases and for the 3rd takbir, its enough if u just recite Allahummaghfirlahu/laha.
