This course seeks to remind the learner about the temporary nature of this worldly life and the importance of preparing for death. It teaches the learner how to recognise signs of death and what to do when helping someone in their final stages of life.  

The course also provides guidance on the steps that should be taken prior to death and post-death, covering in detail the method of bathing and shrouding the deceased, as well as how to perform the funeral prayer and burial. Rulings about consoling the bereaved, the Dos and Don’ts of visiting the graveyard and how the grave should be prepared are all covered in the course from an Islamic perspective. 

In addition, the rulings of Iddah, Isal thawab (conveying rewards to the deceased) and the topic of preparing a will in Islam are covered.
