By: Muhammad al-Jibaly
Publisher: Al-Kitaab & As-Sunnah Publishing
Hardcover, 294 pages

Our soul inevitably follows a route starting from birth, passing through death, and ending with our resurrection in the next life. This route revolves around death, and is strongly marked with events that precede and succeed it. These events include sickness, pre-death and post-death situations, the intermediate life in the grave (al-Barzakh), and periods of sleep that count as "minor death". These, and related issues of the soul, are the subjects that "The Inevitable Journey" discusses over a sequence of titles:

1. Sickness, Regulations & Exhortations
2. Inheritance, Regulations & Exhortations
3. Funerals, Regulations & Exhortations
4. Life in al-Barzakh, from Death until Resurrection
5. The Dreamer's Handbook; Sleep Etiquettes & Dreams Interpretation

This Book

his is the third in the series. It deals with lessons and regulations relating to the calamity of death - all founded on authentic proofs from the Qur'an and Sunnah, and guided by the understanding of eminent scholars of Islam. Most notably, it incorporates the views of al-Albania in his book: Ahkam-ul-Janã'iz (Funeral Regulations).

This book covers the correct procedures for washing and shrouding a deceased Muslim, funeral and burial rites, the janazah prayer, and other relevant issues. It also discusses heart-moving matters relating to the arrival of death, grieving and mourning, signs of good and evil ends, and visiting the graves.

In addition, this book contains extensive supplementary material and an enhanced presentation with tables and diagrams. This makes it a useful handbook, reference, and source of admonishment.
