EXPLANATIONS:
The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) taught us how to properly bury our deceased loved ones. He said that we should dig the grave deep, make it spacious and prepare it well. This is an important part of the Islamic funeral rites known as Salatul Janazah or prayer for the deceased. Digging a grave deep ensures that it is secure and will not collapse on top of the body, while making it spacious allows for easy placement of the body in its final resting place. Preparing a grave well involves smoothing out any bumps or lumps in order to ensure that there are no obstacles when placing the body inside. Additionally, this hadith also teaches us about respecting those who have passed away by taking care in preparing their graves with dignity and respect.
