Offer funeral prayers for your loved ones with respect & honor; scatter three handfuls of earth from their head; be humble & grateful for what you have been given in life; remember that everyone will return to dust one day.

The Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, taught us how to properly perform a funeral prayer for our deceased loved ones. After offering the funeral prayer, he would scatter three handfuls of earth from the side of their head. This is an act that symbolizes respect and honor for those who have passed away. It also serves as a reminder that we are all equal in death; no matter what our status was in life, we will all return to dust one day. Furthermore, it is an act that reminds us to be humble and grateful for what we have been given in life as nothing lasts forever.
