Introduction

This tutorial provides a step-by-step guide on performing the Sholat Jenazah (Funeral Prayer) in Islam, as discussed in the video "TATA CARA DAN BACAAN SHOLAT JENAZAH" by Napisah RIFAYA. Understanding the proper procedure and recitations for this prayer is essential for fulfilling religious obligations and paying respects to the deceased.

Step 1: Understanding the Purpose of Sholat Jenazah

• Sholat Jenazah is a communal prayer for the deceased.
• It serves as a means for the living to ask for forgiveness and mercy for the departed soul.
• It is typically performed in congregation, but can also be done individually.

Step 2: Preparing for Sholat Jenazah

• Ensure the deceased is properly washed and shrouded.
• Gather in a clean and suitable location, preferably at a mosque or an open area.
• It is recommended to perform the prayer in a congregation with the community.

Step 3: The Positioning of the Body

• Place the body of the deceased in front of the congregation.
• The head of the deceased should be facing the Qibla (direction of the Kaaba in Mecca).

Step 4: Performing the Takbir

1. Stand in rows, facing the Qibla.
2. The Imam (prayer leader) raises his hands and says "Allahu Akbar" (God is the Greatest).
3. The congregation follows suit by also raising their hands and saying "Allahu Akbar".

Step 5: Reciting Al-Fatiha

• After the first Takbir, recite Surah Al-Fatiha silently.
• This is essential as it is a fundamental part of the prayer.

Step 6: Reciting Salawat

• After the second Takbir, recite Salawat (blessings upon the Prophet Muhammad).

• This can be a simple recitation such as:

  Allahumma salli 'ala Muhammad wa 'ala aali Muhammad
  

Step 7: Praying for the Deceased

• After the third Takbir, make a prayer for the deceased.

• You can say:

  Allahumma ighfir lahu warhamhu wa 'afihi wa'fu 'anhu
  

Step 8: Concluding the Prayer

• After the fourth Takbir, conclude the prayer by turning your head to the right and saying "Assalamu Alaikum wa Rahmatullah" (Peace and mercy of Allah be upon you).
• Repeat the same to the left side.

Step 9: Differences in Recitation for Men and Women

• The procedure remains the same for both men and women.
• Differences may arise in the intention (niyyah) and some specific prayers, but generally, the structure of the prayer is identical.

Sholat Jenazah is a vital aspect of Islamic funeral rites, allowing the community to come together in prayer for the deceased.
