Funeral
Despite the small amount of time available, funeral arrangements were accomplished successfully. Sayyid Ahmad Tawwaab performed the ghusl while Abu Sa'ud poured the water. Moulvi Sayyid Ahmad and Moulvi Abdul Karim assisted. The Janaaza was prepared, brought outside Masjid un Nabawi, and placed near Babul Jibra'il for Salaatul Janaaza. After Maghrib Salaah, Moulana Shaikh Tayyib, the rector of Madrasa Shari'a, led the Salaatul Janaaza. The Janaaza then proceeded to Jannatul Baqi thereafter. Khalil was buried in his grave shortly before 'Isha Salaah.

Famous quotes containing the word funeral:
“Rome, the city of visible history, where the past of a whole hemisphere seems moving in funeral procession with strange ancestral images and trophies gathered from afar.”
—George Eliot [Mary Ann (or Marian)
“That poor little thing was a good woman, Judge. But she just sort of let life get the upper hand. She was born here and she wanted to be buried here. I promised her on her deathbed she’d have a funeral in a church with flowers. And the sun streamin’ through a pretty window on her coffin. And a hearse with plumes and some hacks. And a preacher to read the Bible. And folks there in church to pray for her soul.”
—Laurence Stallings (1804–1968)
“Up, black, striped and damasked like the chasuble
At a funeral mass, the skunk’s tail
Paraded the skunk.”
—Seamus Heaney (b. 1939)
