Muslim Funeral Guide
for Residents of the San Francisco Bay Area
by Muslim Association of Hawaii

This guide is in the format of a quick reference manual to be used when death occurs in any
Muslim family in the Bay Area. It is not intended to be a detailed explanation of the burial
procedures explained here. Since it is intended to be more of a checklist, references to the
pertinent ayahs of the Quran and the Hadith are not included in the main body, except in a few
places. The reader is encouraged to get this information from many books and pamphlets available
in the Masajid libraries, Islamic bookstores and on the web.
