Quotes
In the khateeb's words
“The prayer consists for takbirah. After the first one you recite Al-Fatiha. After the second one you recite Salah Al-Ibrahim.”
“And after the third one you make dua for him. And the simple dua that you ask Allah mercy and forgiveness for him.”
“I'd like you know you to encourage you to go insha'Allah to the cemetery. Not only to gain the reward. And not only just to fulfill the right of your brother.”
