WEDDING AND FUNERAL RITES IN ISLAM

Abstract

In the Islamic religion, wedding and funeral rites are of great importance. In Islam, these rites differ from the period of ignorance and customs of other nations. The basis is laid by the Quran and the Sunnah of the Prophet Muhammad. Weddings were musicless, accompanied with the performance of suras from the Quran, and lasted 1-8 hours. Without registration of marriage by an imam, the groom could not even hold the bride’s hand. According to the authors, modern wedding ceremonies, moving away from Islam and the Sunnah, were faced with many hardships, and lost their original identity. The article also reports on the weddings of some associates.Funeral rites, the mourning lasted three days; eating, drinking and chopping meat in the name of the deceased was prohibited. Special rules for expressing condolences were to be in accordance with Islamic ethics. The authors focus on the fact that in the pre-Islamic period, people believed in the afterlife but not in the Day of Judgment. Despite the past millennia, according to the authors, ethnic memory continues in rituals in the form of customs. A thought develops from the scene of the death and burial of the Hun emperor Attila.
