What to do in case of death?

Imam’s phone 773-501-7004 or email: senadaga01@gmail.com.

The date of the funeral is agreed with the imam. Before that, the financial obligations regarding the purchase of the burial place or the possible settlement of the membership fee should be settled.

Learning Yasin or Tawhid is done in agreement with the imam.

To pick up a deceased person from the hospital or home, you should call MCC Funeral Services (known as MCC):

Brother Murad 773-742-8699
Address: MCC Funeral Services, In c.
4380 North Elston Avenu e,
Chicago, IL 6064 1

They are in charge of picking up the deceased person from the hospital, processing documentation and equipping, i.e. gassing, as well as bringing the body to the place of burial.

We have no influence on the services provided by MCC (retrieving the body from the hospital, fitting and embalming, making caskets/coffins, etc.) and Bohemian Cemetery (excavating graves, etc.). These are separate organizations with which we have business cooperation and they reserve the right to set prices for their services. To get their services, you need to contact them and arrange everything you need. We do not take responsibility for the provision of their services.

Note: If you want to bury the deceased in your home country, in that case you handle everything through the MCC. If you still want the funeral to be held in Chicago before sending the body, in that case the funeral will be held at the MCC premises, with the fact that you will agree on the date of the funeral with our imam.

After you have determined precisely when the mejjit (the body of the deceased) will be collected and prepared and after you have set the date of the funeral, the treasurer or one of the members of the Committee at your request calls the Bohemian National Cemetery Chicago at 773-539-8443 to arrange a time for digging the grave. for the funeral at location 36. According to the contract concluded by the SABAH JAMAAT with the Bohemian National Cemetery, the burial at the cemetery is carried out according to the order, so there is no possibility of reserving a burial place. This is the procedure in case a deceased person is to be buried in the cemetery of our congregation (36), which is located within Bohemian National Cemetery Chicago 5255 N. Pulaski Rd, Chicago IL, 60630.

Also, it is necessary that you settle your financial obligations towards them before the funeral!

f you wish, you can provide the imam with information about the person who moved, so that the death certificate can be drawn up and our congregation can be informed about the funeral. Use the imam’s email for this service: senadaga01@gmail.com

The information required for a death certificate is:

157 / 5,000

– The name and surname of the deceased person and the name of the mother
– Place and year of birth of the deceased person
– The time and place of the funeral
– Who are the bereaved family members or extended relatives

Family members are required to pay $2,000 for the installation of traditional Bosnian granite niches. Services are paid at the treasurer of the SABAH JAMAAT.

Regulations on behavior during a funeral

The custom of our Muslims is to express condolences in mourning in the form of a prayer for composure during grief with the words: ‘Başun sag olsun’ (May you have good sense).

It would be best if the person offering condolences recites the Qur’anic verse: “Inna lillahi wa inna ilejhi raji’un” (Indeed we belong to Allah and indeed we shall return to Him), and the person receiving the condolences also responds with the words of the Qur’an: Innallahe me’a sabirin” (Allah is truly with the patient).

Performing the funeral prayer for a deceased person is a “farzi kifaya” duty for every Muslim and community. This means that if one group of people performs the funeral prayer, the responsibility falls on the others!

The funeral prayer is sent off and followed politely and without unnecessary speech. The funeral prayer is offered to a deceased person who has been bathed (gasuled) and wrapped in a cloth. When performing the funeral prayer, the right side of the deceased person faces the Qibla, while the imam who leads the funeral prayer stands on his left.

To pray the funeral prayer, it is necessary to have ablution, just like for any other prayer!

Janazah prayer is performed while standing (without prostrating or prostrating), and consists of four takbeers (i.e. the words “Allahu Akbar”), reciting while standing and salam. When starting the prayer, i.e. the initial takbeer (niyyah), the hands are raised in front of the ears and the takbeer (Allahu akbar) is pronounced, and then they are tied as in other prayers. Takbirs are obligatory (fard), so whoever omits even one takbir while performing the funeral prayer, that prayer is not valid for him. Therefore, the minimum for the correctness of the funeral prayer is to say four takbeers (Allahu akbar) and say salam.

1. Prvo se donese nijjet za obavljanje dženaze namaza, koji glasi: »Nevejtu en usallije lillahi te’ala salatel-l-dženazeti, senaen lillahi te’ala, ve salavaten ‘alen-n-nebijji, ve du’aen li hazel-l-mejjiti (za žensko: li hazihil-l-mejjiteti), edaen mustakbilel-kibleti, iktedejtu bi hazel imami – Allahu ekber!« Nijjet za dženazu namaz se može učiniti i na svom jeziku.

2. Poslije početnog tekbira (tj. izgovaranja ‘’Allahu ekber’’), vezuju se ruke na pojas i uči se ’’Subhanekellahumme, ve bihamdike, ve tebarekesmuke, ve tea’la džedduke, ve dželle senauke, ve la ilahe gajruke’’!

3. Zatim se izgovori drugi tekbir (tj. ‘’Allahu ekber’’), pa se prouče ‘Salavati’, koji se uče na drugim namazima na posljednjem sjedenju, a koji glase: ‘’Allahumme salli ‘ala Muhammedin ve ala ali Muhammed. Kema sallejte ‘ala Ibrahime ve ‘ala ali Ibrahim, inneke hamidun-medžid. Alluhumme barik ‘ala Muhammedin ve ‘ala ali Muhammed, Kema barekte ‘ala Ibrahime ve ‘ala ali Ibrahim, inneke hamidun-medžid.’’

4. Zatim se izgovori treći tekbir (tj. ‘’Allahu ekber’’), pa se prouči ‘Dženazetska dova’ koja glasi: “Allahummagfir li hajjina ve mejjitina ve šahidina ve gaa-ibina ve sagirina ve kebirina ve zekerina ve unsana. Allahumme men ahjejtehu minna fe ahjihi’ ale-l-islami ve men teveffejtehu minna fe teveffehu ‘ale-l-imani. We hussa hazel mejjite (za žensko: hazihil mejjitete) bir-rewhi, wer-rahati, wer-rahmeti, wel-magfireti, wer-ridwan. Allahumme in kane (kanet) muhsinen (muhsineten) fezid fi ihsanihi (ihsaniha), we in(kanet) musii-en (musii-eten) fetedžavez anhu (anha), we leqqihil emre wel bušra wel keramete wez-zulfa bi rahmetike ja Erhamer-Rahimin.’’ Onaj ko ne zna ovu dovu, može proučiti sljedeću dovu: »Rabbena atina fi-d-dunja haseneten ve fil-l-ahireti haseneten ve kina ‘azaben-n-nar«

5. Nakon dženazetske dove prouči se četvrti tekbir (Allahu ekber), predajući selam riječima: ‘’Es-selamu alejkum we rahmetullah’’ okrećući glavu u desnu stranu i spuštajući desnu ruku niz tijelo. Potom, okrećući glavu na lijevu stranu izgovara se ‘’Es-selamu alejkum we rahmetullah’’ i spušta lijeva ruka niz tijelo! Time je obavljena dženaza namaz.

Potom se pristupa odnošenju umrlog do kabura, spuštanju, zagrtanju i učenju odlomaka iz Kur’ana. Džematlije su iz poštovanja prema umrlom u čučećem položaju.
