Re: How Do You Feel About Death?
Today’s lecture at our local mosque was about Death. Every soul has to taste death. It was pretty scary. However, after the khutba was over, molvi said they were going to buy a plot to extend our current graveyard. If people wish, they can go ahead and ‘reserve’ a spot for them buy ‘buying’ their grave. That was pretty funny. Imagine yourself going to the molvi and buying your own grave 
One person raised a question that they should search into it and find out if buying your own qabar was Islamic because what if someone has no money to buy it? What if someone dies and there are no spots left and the ones that are left are already taken? Because you do get a certificate that entitles you to the grave and says it’s yours! Being typical Muslims, everyone started cutting him and started to say what they had to say before poor man was done making his request. 
His point was that graveyard should be a ‘waqf’, not something to sell. He was right. The imam just used incorrect words. He really should’ve used the word ‘donate’ instead of ‘buy’.
