Salat al-Janazah

Salat al-Janazah (Arabic: صلاة الجنازة) or Namaz-e-Janaza (Persian: نماز جنازه) is the funeral prayer in Islam held by Muslims before the burial but after the shrouding of the body. Muslims do this so their soul can rise to Allah. The people praying ask for forgiveness from Allah to let the person go to heaven.
