by the qu'ran (their holy book) there are to ways of life after death. there's paradise (heaven) and there's punishment (hell.) Muslims believe that the present life is a trial in preparation for your next life. heaven or hell. Muslims believe that, upon dieing, and intermediate phase of life between death and Resurrection
Muslims therefore accept an end of a life with calmness and happiness that the deceased is returning to his or her Creator. They acknowledge death by first saying "inna lillahi WA inna illahi rajioon." This short sentence is understood as "from Allah we come and to Allah we return."
Muslims and the AfterlifeMuslims live their lives with the repercussions of the afterlife in mind. The afterlife includes a duration spent in the grave followed by the ressurection on judgment day and the assignment to either heaven or hell - in accordance to which deeds, good or bad, outweigh the other. Pagan Practices Surrounding a DeathDuring pagan times, pre-Islam, Arabs found death difficult to accept. Many would wail and condemn their idols for allowing a loved one to pass on. They also threw elaborate ceremonies to commemorate the deceased. Women would cry out loud and thump their chests. Many would stay in mourning for a long time period. In some cases, widows were disallowed to remarry.Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings upon him) overturned these pagan practices. He did allow crying though, as he too wept over the grave of his infant son, Ibrahim, when he died. He explained that it was in his humanness that he cried (Bukhari). He did not allow wailing or any sort of clamours as noise as he said, were practices of the ignorant whereas tears and sorrow from the heart were elements of grief exhibited by a Muslim (Bukhari & Muslim).
Other Practices Overturned by the ProphetBesides overturning such practices, the Prophet (peace and blessings upon him) warned that mourning over the dead was only to be limited to three days. Mourning beyond this duration was a reflection of disobedience towards Allah's will (Dawud).As for women who lost their husbands, they were to observe a longer time period of mourning - four months and 10 days - this allowed them to confirm a pregnancy. Furthermore, it allowed them to recuperate from their loss. The mourning period protects women during a difficult and vulnerable time and provides space and time to regain confidence and solid-footing before considering new marriage proposals, should she wish to remarry.
Traditionally, family and friends gather in the house of the deceased for many days and nights. This was a disliked practice as it placed a burden on the deceased's family to prepare food, drink and sometimes accomodation for those who came to offer their condolences. Instead, Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings upon him) urged his followers to prepare meals and run errands for families who had lost a love one. He recommended that the community chip in to alleviate the family's burden or grief and help them resume their daily lives as soon as possible (Ibn Majah).
