Re: question concerning atheists
Deserve? Thats a bit harsh dont you think? That is not for us to decide, Ms Vision. As a muslim i would respect the deceased no matter what his/her beliefs were. Only Allah knows best what was in their heart.
And what exactly is a proper funeral anyway? From who's context i mean. For example in Hinduism a proper funeral is burning the body. Muslims however dig up a grave, though that might not be proper for Hindus.
For a deceased athiest, i believe, the proper thing would be to give him/her a proper funeral according to the beliefs of whoever is responsible for the funeral.
For example, if a muslim is responsible for the funeral of an athiest person then he should get him a proper grave.
