Do Muslims Practice Cremation? | Dr. Shabir Ally

- Muslims generally bury their dead. But in some countries, Muslims have been forced to cremate deceased family members, and during the early days of COVID, there was a push to cremate bodies, thinking it might be safer. Dr. Shabir Ally says that burial rites are deeply entrenched in the Islamic tradition, marking the faith of the deceased and connecting to Muslim understandings of resurrection and judgment. On the other hand, cremations sound like a foretaste of the fire of Hell, which Muslims want to avoid. He explains that the Quran doesn't explicitly say that Muslims must be buried, so there is scope for flexibility. If it so happens that a body is cremated, God is Merciful and Just and won't hold the person accountable; instead, God will give them recompense in the Life Hereafter.

Beautiful explanation with Islamic understanding.
Your answers are thought provoking not just for Muslims but other faiths like Christisnity.
Well taken - you have covered almost all aspects of this topic beautifully. Unless there are specific circumstances; normal way is burial. >> the story of Cain and Abel:
Quran 5:30-31 But the other's passion drove him to slaying his brother; and he slew him: and thus he became one of the lost. *Thereupon God sent forth a raven which scratched the earth, to show him how he might conceal the nakedness of his brother's body.* [And Cain] cried out: 'Oh, woe is me! Am I then too weak to do what this raven did, and to conceal the nakedness of my brother's body?' - and was thereupon smitten with remorse.
This surah confirms dr. Shabirs point. Its say how you “might” conceal body by making it the norm but leaves room to bury differently in case you are forced by a government or nonbeliever and it risks your life or your family‘s life. Then in that case your are not doing something haram
Erudite and comprehensive. I'm so please to hear Dr. Ally's words on this matter.
Thank you Dr. Shabir and Dr. Safiyya from Sri Lanka.
Beautifully put. Mashallah!
The Holy Quran is the only holiest book given to man by Allah
Mash Allah
Very True Bro
Absolutely 💯
Not the only one.
The final and not corrupted one till now.
@@RGBLL very well said!
Please don't go to extreme with your emotions! Don't say "the only" book given by Allah SWT! As per Quran 2/285 we are compelled to believe on many other books! But to follow only the Quran!
Jazak Allahu Khayran! ❤️
Very elaborated and nice explanation.
Well explain. Jazak Allahu Khayran.
Where no one venture I think this channel chose to tread...so knowing fully well dr Shabbir most often analyse critically and put himself on fire often inviting comment like hypocrite..( i remember one such but I forgot.) but saying what is what and placing pros and cons of a subject before ummah ..all through the lens of quran and sunnah...is a great great duty of such a stalwart like dr ally
There are many crazy comments on Dr Shabir's videos, mostly from Salafi and hardline conservative viewpoints. But that's fine though. It's common for people to not agree on matters specially on theology. If only that happened, world would be a better place. But it is what it is.
Although body has no value after death but still Muslims and Christians pay a yearly respect to the ones who are dead and gone during All Souls Day and Shabe Barat Day if I am not mistaken.We also do not cremate dead animals.Cremation is more hygienic but we have to follow up with our customs, traditions and religious values.Wonderful video and a superb explanation. Thanks
Beautifully explained, thank you!
A brother from the mosque died 3 weeks ago his wife and kids are non muslim they refused to let him be buried in a muslims cemetery and cremated him and tried denouncing his faith by saying he wasnt muslim when he was after everyones reaction to hearing him being cremated i came straight to this video i was going to ask my imam but he cried a few times so i didnt wanna bring it up this video was perfect and very informative jazakallah khair
Beautiful!!
Great. jazakallah hayir
السلام عليكم ورحمةالله وبركاته جزاكم الله خيرا
Very helpful. No comments made if next-of-kin could have the ashes for final Muslim burial. Catholic church requires ashes to be buried in once place so that resurrection will happen there. Other denominations allow spreading of ashes. In a recent EWTN Q&A a question was asked if ashes could be divided into two, one for home country - country of birth; other for country of adaption. The priest was not certain and said local Bishops needs to be consulted. Handling of ashes should be concluded within 6 months as best practice.
I do not get why burial means the body will be resurrected at the exact place because isn't god In the day of judgment going to destroy the universe and earth so technically everybody body will be cremated at that process because the earth will be on fire due to it being destroyed right?
@@gjfjfk You may be right but here we are talking about 'here and now issues' well before final judgement day/seconding of Jesus Christ.
@@Chandransingham I get where your coming from but I disagree with that Jesus is going to comeback because I believe God doesn't break the laws he's made for the world like the scientific limits . No human can go to heaven unless he's died in the physical world because if god was to go against the same natural order that he has created to govern the universe then that shows that he's indecisive , impulsive and prone to making errors like humans .
For example if you were building a house and chose to make it with a certain material. Then after you make the house and you change your mind about how you built it then that shows that you cannot make your mind up .
If Jesus going to heaven didn't break his laws then why don't we see miracles like that anymore surely if your a literalist then these miracles are a regular acurence because then you believe Adam is from heaven and prophet Muhammad pbuh ascended to heaven and Jesus, supernatural jinns, Angels, jinn possessions, prophet Noah living over 500 years . See the problem by taking these miracles literally is that they do not make sense or are physically observable thus didn't happen at all. You just open a can of worms by interpreting Quran in a literal manner and blindly believing the scholars and your peers because everyone else believes it .
Quran : If you follow the majority of people on the earth, they will lead you astray from the path of God, for they follow only conjecture and surmise.
@@gjfjfk No issues here. I think C S Lewis gives the best guide. You follow the formula that suits you best. Time permitting listen to his 6 hour free audio book on youtube : Mere Christianity (includes some comments on Islam).
@@Chandransingham Right thankyou
Alhamdulillah.Dr.Sabir. Ally explained
Could you please do a video on schizophrenia. Ty
Love ❤ from 🇪🇹 Ethiopia. It is wonderful explanation thanks 😊
The problem is, as a western European revert, family members have to pay rent for the ground you are buried in. If the rent is not payed for again ( 2nd time after 15 years i think) your remains wil be dug up by the government and cremated to make your ground available again. So you see if you have nobody left to keep paying for you you will eventually be cremated. Thats the problem. So knowing this, is it better to be cremated from the time of death? Because it gonna be a waste of money anyway for your relatives and you wil be cremated eventually in the end.
As far as I can know, Muslims are not burried with a coffin so the body decays very fast and I don’t think 15 years after the remains would still be there
That is horrible 😭
@@PilarAYah yea i know, and there is no way arround this. Unles im buried in an islamic country. Most arab Muslims brothers and sister who live here have family living in arab countrys so when they die, there body gets burried over there. As a revert i dont have this option. Oh wel.. allah knows best hamdullilah
reading history, it was the one area of Islam that turned off the Vikings when ibn Fadlan travelled north to Volga lands. For them burying the dead is considered an insult, to allow the worms and insects to eat from the corpse, while burning body allows and spreading the ashes in the wind, lifted the soul into paradise.
Very well explained
وعن عائشة رضي الله عنها: أن رسول الله ﷺ قال: كسر عظم الميت ككسره حيًّا.
رواه أبو داود بإسنادٍ على شرط مسلم.
وزاد ابنُ ماجه من حديث أمِّ سلمة رضي الله عنها: في الإثم
Dr Shabir what about this Hadith
Meaning breaking the bone of the deed is same as like breaking it when he is alive
Is not that definite no no to criminate a Muslim please clarify it for me thank you so much
I say if you are going to have big families then cremation is a better option cause we must think of future generations and not take up space at both ends. I am not an aestheist but I think religion and it’s belief system should move with time.
You brainwashed this world big enough to get birdied
Nothing in the Quran about funerals
Creamation does not being Islamic law .
Sure, make verses compatible with modern times
Otherwise looks very petty and funny
Japan is a western country..
If Japan is a Eastern country that would make the US (especially Alaska) a Eastern country. There is only a few miles in between Russia and Alaska and Russia is a Eastern country because it's East of Western Europe
what is your point? do you even know what the subject? is🤣
How come US and Russia dont make good reliable cars like Japan then...??
Do you think Japan is culturally a western country?
@@fidelcatsro6948 idk...
@@brackguthrie9470 there's no such thing as culturally western lol look at America and Europe both are completely different.
Astafirullah 🤦♀️
The soul is gone...its just a shell
I will accept Islam but two conditions-
1) I need to know the names of all prophets(1,30,000)
2) I need to know the names of all revelations sent before Quran.every revelation I mean
Imaan comes to the pure hearted without any conditions. And only Allah chooses whomever he wills
@@boono2912 then why did muslims of the past force convert people of Indian subcontinent don't they know of the Logic which you said.
@@boono2912 being a Muslim you have to respect each and every prophet sent to Earth before prophet Mohd. But you don't know each and every prophet's name.
@@vishwajithpokemon8241 if they did so they will go to hell. Vish, its unfair to classify all Muskims as one. Mpst of the Muslims are doing things culturally and not according to The Quran. Only 5% of the Muskim population in the world are Muslims, rest are just by name.
@@CFCBluBulb agreed brother sorry if I was harsh
I must disagree with the Shaikh's comment about the Sunna being not as important as the Qur'an, the Qur’an itself speaks of the importance of the Sunnah, for example:
(a) Allah says (interpretation of the meaning): “He who obeys the Messenger has indeed obeyed Allah . . .” [an-Nisa’ 4:80] Allah described obedience to the Prophet (صلى الله عليه و سلم as being a part of obedience to Him. Then He made a connection between obedience to Him and obedience to the Prophet (peace be upon him): “O you who believe! Obey Allah and obey the Messenger . . .” [an-Nisa’ 4:59]
(b) Allah warns us not to go against the Prophet صلى الله عليه و سلم and states that whoever disobeys him will be doomed to eternal Hell. Allah says (interpretation of the meaning): “. . . And let those who oppose the Messenger’s commandment beware, lest some fitnah (trial, affliction, etc.) befall them or a painful torment be inflicted on them.” [an-Nur 24:63]
(c) Allah has made obedience to His Prophet صلى الله عليه و سلم a religious duty; resisting or opposing it is a sign of hypocrisy: “”But no, by your Lord, they can have no Faith, until they make you [Muhammad] judge in all disputes between them, and find in themselves no resistance against your decisions, and accept (them) with full submission.” [an-Nisa’ 4:65]
(d) Allah commands His slaves to respond to take whatever comes from His Messenger صلى الله عليه و سلم: “And WHATSOEVER THE MESSENGER GIVES YOU, TAKE IT; AND WHATSOEVER HE FORBIDS YOU, ABSTAIN (FROM IT). And fear ALLAH; verily, ALLAH is Severe in punishment.” - [al-Hashr 59:7]
(e) Allah also commands His slaves to refer all disputes to him: “. . . (And) if you differ in anything amongst yourselves, refer it to Allah and His Messenger . . .” [an-Nisa’ 4:59]
(f) Allah has made following the way and the Prophet صلى الله عليه و سلم and his companions a criterion for avoiding the Hellfire: “AND WHOEVER CONTRADICTS OR OPPOSES THE MESSENGER AFTER THE RIGHT PATH HAS BEEN SHOWN CLEARLY TO HIM AND FOLLOWS OTHER THAN THE Believers’ (COMPANIONS) WAY, WE SHALL LEAVE HIM IN THE PATH HE HAS CHOSEN AND BURN HIM IN HELL!” - [an-Nisa 4:115]
In addition, Al-’Irbaad ibn Saariyah ,رضي الله عنه reported that the Prophet صلى الله عليه و سلم said: “Would any of you think, reclining on his couch, that Allah would only describe what is forbidden in the Qur’an? I tell you, by Allah, that I have warned and commanded and prohibited things that are as important as what is in the Qur’an, if not more so.” (Reported by Abu Dawud, Kitaab al-Khiraj wa’l-imaarah wa’l-fay’).
cremation is haram!!
@@Hjkkgg6788 Cremation is absolutely haram in Islam. Not a single scholar said otherwise.
Love the Showwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww.
Always too much moderate.
So ?
at least he isn't extreme like a lot of you are
You cannot give the dead a foretaste of hellfire because the person is no longer alive
Shabir Ally is obviously a clown and y’all shouldn’t let yourself be misguided by him.
This man is hypocritical Muslims should be aware of him and this channel too
