Burial process and recommendations

1. Those who are walking in the Janaza and are not carrying the coffin, they should walk in front or beside the bier.
2.
Idle talk is discouraged. One should either be silent or better still praying for the deceased, remembering Allah SWT, reciting Quran in a low voice, etc.
3. No music or outburst of emotion is allowed.
4. When you enter the cemetery, you should recite:
Assalam alaikum yaa ahlil kuboor ( Peace be upon you O people of the graves )
