Funeral Services
“…Verily, unto God do we belong and, verily, unto Him, we shall return.” (Quran ) 2:156
The Quran teaches that life is a test in preparation for the hereafter. The Islamic funeral is considered a final service and an act of respect for our loved ones. It is also a time to ponder our own brief existence here on earth. Masjid Al Hayy is committed to providing religious services and guidance to all Muslims in performing the religious duties of an Islamic funeral.
