Funeral Services
Allah ﷻ, The Almighty and Majestic Says in the Qur’an:
(Holy Quran, Chapter 3, Verse 185)
Every soul shall have a taste of death: And only on the Day of Judgment shall you be paid your full recompense. Only he who is saved far from the Fire and admitted to the Garden will have attained the object (of Life): For the life of this world is but goods and chattels of deception.
At the Islamic Foundation of Lincoln (IFL), we manage funeral services for our community in accordance with the Quran and the teachings of Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) in collaboration with Nebraska Muslim Cemetery.
