Method and Rules for Janaazah Salaah
This is the method for performing the Janaazah Salaah:
1. First raise your hands to your ears and say ‘Allahu Akbar’ and
then lower the hands and tie it below the naval as per the normal manner.
2. Then recite the Thana (Glorification), in other words:
سُبْحٰنَکَ اللّٰھُمَّ وَبِحَمْدِکَ وَتَبَارَکَ اسْمُکَ وَتَعَالٰی
جَدُّکَ وَجَلَّ ثَنَاؤُکَ وَلَا اِلٰـہَ غَیْرُکَ
Subhaanakal’lah hum’ma Wa Bi Hamdika Wa Tabaarakas muka Wa
Ta’aala Jad’duka Wa Jal’la Thana’uka wa Laa ilaaha Ghayruk
3. Then without raising the hands say ‘Allahu Akbar’.
4. Recite the Durood Shareef. It is better to read the one which
is read in Namaaz. If any other Durood was recited, then there is no objection.
5. Then Say ‘Allahu Akbar’ and make Dua for yourself, for the
Mayyit and all the believing men and believing women, and it is best to recite
the Dua which is mentioned in the Hadith Shareef. If one cannot read the
Maathur Duas properly, one may read whichever Dua one wishes to read, but it
should be a Dua which has to do with the Aakhirat (hereafter). [Jauhira Nayyira;
Alamgiri vol.1 pg.146; Durr-e-Mukhtar vol.1 pg.812/813]
Some of the Maathur Duas are as follows:
Note: The female gender is
in brackets (i.e. that which will be read for a female).
اَللّٰھُمَّ اغْفِرْلِحَیِّنَا وَمَیِّتِنَا وَشَاھِدِنَا

O Allah, Forgive our living and our dead, and our
present and our hidden; and our children and our elders, and our men and our
women. O Allah, whomsoever from amongst us You keep alive, keep him alive on
Islam, and whomsoever from amongst us You cause death to, grant him death with Imaan.
O Allah, Do not deprive us of his reward, and after him do not plunge us into
fitna.

O Allah, Forgive him and have mercy
(on him), and grant him peace, and forgive him, and grant welcome him with honour,
and expand his place and cleanse him with water, ice and hail; and purify him
of his sins as You have cleansed white clothes from dirt; and grant him a house
better than his house, and a family better than his family, and a wife better
than his wife; and enter him into Jannat, and protect him from the torment of
the grave and the dangers of the grave, and from the torment of hell.

Today, This Your servant has left the world and left the

O Allah, O Most Merciful of those who show Mercy! O Most
Merciful of those who show Mercy! O Most Merciful of those who show Mercy! O
The Living, The Eternal! O Creator of the sky and earth. O Most Majestic Most
Bountiful! I ask of You, because I bear testimony that You are Allah, Alone,
Without Need, who gave birth to none and Who was born of none, and there is
none like Him. O Allah, I ask of You, and I turn towards you with Mediation of Nabi
صلی
اللہ تعالی علیہ وسلم, O Allah
Kareem, When You give the command to Ask, You never take it back, and You have
commanded us and we have made Dua, and You have granted us permission so we
have pleaded; And You are more Compassionate than all those who show
Compassion. Accept our pleading for him, and in his loneliness, have Mercy on
him, and in his fear, have Mercy on him, in his scarcity, have Mercy on him, In
his restless, have Mercy on him, and exalt his reward and brighten his grave; and
let his face glow, and allow his resting place to be cool, and make his destination
fragrant, and grant goodness in his welcome goods, O The Best of Senders and
The Best of Forgivers, And O The Most Merciful. Aameen Aameen Aameen. Send
Durood and Salaams and blessings upon the Leader of those who will Intercede, Muhammad
صلی
اللہ تعالی علیہ وسلم and upon all of his Family and his
Companions. All Praise is due to Allah, who is the Rub of all the worlds.
Beneficial Note: In
the 9th and 10th Duas if the name of the Mayyit’s father is not known, then the name of Adam علیہ الصلاۃ والسلام
should be used, as he is the father of
all humans, and if one does not even know the name of the deceased, then in the
9th Dua one should say ھٰذَا عَبْدُکَ
or ھٰذِہٖ اَمَتُکَ so in this case
there will be no need to say the name of the deceased and his father’s name; and in the 10th Dua instead of
the names, one should just say; عَبْدُکَ
ھٰذَا for a male and اَمَتُکَ
ھٰذِہٖ for a female.
Beneficial Note: If
it is known that the Mayyit was a sinful person, then instead of لَا نَعْلَمُ اِلَّا خَیْرًا
one should say قَدْ عَلِمْنَا مِنْہُ خَیْرًا because
compared to anything, Islam is the best. In these Duas, some things are repeated,
and in Dua repetition is Mustahsan. If one knows all the Duas and there is
sufficient time, then it is more virtuous to recite all of them, otherwise one
may recite whichever he wishes to recite, and if in time wherein the Imam
recites all these Duas, if the Muqtadi does not know them, then after the first
Dua, he should just continuously say Aameen, Aameen.
Law: If the Mayyit is insane or na-Baaligh,
then after the 3rd Takbeer recite this Dua:
اَللّٰھُمَّ اجْعَلْہُ لَنَا فَرَطًا وَّاجْعَلْہُ لَنَا ذُخْرًا
وَّاجْعَلْہُ لَنَا شَافِعًا وَّمُشَفَّعًا
O Allah, let him be before us to make arrangement for us
and make him a treasure for us and make him such an intercessor for us whose
intercession will surely be accepted (on our behalf)
Note: If it is a
female, instead of اجْعَلْہُ
say اجْعَلْھَا and instead of
saying شَافِعًا وَّمُشَفَّعًا
say شَافِعَۃً وَّمُشَفَّعَۃً [Jauhira]
