Tom Facchine – Hadith Series – #68 – There are six rights towards a fellow Muslim – 6-6

			Prophet Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam he said that one of the things a Muslim is entitled to
from another Muslim is that when a Muslim dies, the other Muslims follow his funeral or attend his
funeral. This is very similar to some of the other rights that Muslims have upon one another. It has
to do with showing up, showing up in those big life moments. If you reduce everything down to, you
know, three, four major events in life, you're going to have one of them's going to be a death, one
of them's going to be a birth, and other one's probably going to be a marriage. So in Assam, we have
to show up for each other in these moments and not just your friends. This is one problem about what
		

			what we do today, usually, usually we just show up to the people who we know. But especially when it
comes to a funeral. You should be showing up to people that you know and people that you don't know,
anybody in the community that passes away. Everybody has lost somebody, you know what it's like, you
know that it's hard. And
		

			having a bunch of people attend the funeral show up, pay their respects, that's something that in
that really, really difficult time makes the family that's going through it just a little bit
better. It makes them realize that people cared about the deceased, and that people care about them.
		

			So this is something that is a rite of every one of us, upon the others.
