So Islamic tenets are selectively practiced? Different rules for the elites and hoi polloi?

In the light of recent happenings in the country, this hypocrisy is nauseating.
Hypocrisy by who or what? If what you have in mind is "Islam', then you are the most hypocritical entity here, you haven't even heard/read any Islamic injunction or a credible Islamic source as to why his case is an exception if that really is an exception, you only read a comment here and have concluded about hypocrisy! We Muslims do not really care about about what most of you thinks though.


That said... Islamicaly, the dead is to be buried the same day he/she died. however there can be circumstance that may not allow a burial to occur the day it happened, take for instance a dead body which is not found the same day it died, that shouldn't stop an Islamic burial from been performed when finally found does it?! So in this case here, there may be a good reason for the family to delay the burial and that shouldn't stop the burial rights from been performed when he is to be buried. Views expressed here is mostly mine and not that of any laid out Islamic injunction. ...Allah knows best!

the tenets of Islam is not selectively practiced.. Ali don't have much say on how and when he should be buried anymore because he can no longer talk or air his opinion... Among his family he was the only practicing Muslim who understood the religion better if his family were like that too he would have been buried latest the second day after his death and because he was a celebrity you know all the fanfare that would come with it,

Two days of funeral ceremonies bidding farewell to Muhammad Ali began today with a Muslim prayer service in the Kentucky hometown of the beloved boxing legend and civil rights hero.

There is one thing that is common amongst Christians that later converted to Islam having succeeded in their careers as Christians. Michael Jackson, Mike Tyson, Mohammed Ali, Bradshaw Irling, Ahmad Deedat come
to mind. Could it be a coincidence? My thought.

You guys, he must have had an autopsy carried out on him that's why he wasn't buried same day. I would have thought that is obvious. He was American after all. They don't just accept that someone is dead and so there is no need to know why.
Disgusted at all the slowpokes who have grabbed this opportunity to show their bigotry instead of using their brains. Smh.
Ali was also Nation of Islam, not a conventional muslim.

Muhammad Ali belongs to a group called "Nation of Islam" led by Elijah Muhammad from 1934-1975. He was a mentor to Louise Farrakhan, Malcolm X, Muhammad Ali and his son Warret Deen Mohammed.

NOI is an African-American Islamic religious movement founded in Detroit Wallace D Farad Muhammad on July 4th 1930.

Technically, they are a group of black Muslim's. The Nation of Islam does not hide it prejudices. The organisations philosophy has been, from its earliest days, racist to the core. It's founder Farad Muhammad taught that the white race was produced thousands of years ago in a failed laboratory experiment by an evil wizard called Yacub.

So while they are technically muslims, as seen by their visit to mecca to perform the pilgrimage (Muhammad Ali inclusive), they maintained their autonomy and remained a sect guided by their own outright philosophy.

This could explain why they didn't necessarily adhered to the rule of burying before dusk.

But the example u cited doesn't correspond with Mohammed Ali's death....he died of disease, even the late Kogi state governor that autopsy was supposed to be carried on about his death, he was buried ASAP.

The islam practiced in Northern Nigeria is clearly different from that of the western world. The northern elites have blind folded their people so they can be in perpetual bondage and under their mercy for ever. If only real muslims will translate the Koran in English and send it to the North and West, all this useless Ranka dede sir will end.

Please, do your research well. Muhammed Ali and Malcolm X denounced Nation of Islam. They were Sunni muslims.
About his burial it all depends on the decision of his family, sometimes the deceased might gave them his words when he was alive, this is how he wants to be buried.
Muslims don't bury with casket, they can use the casket to carry his corpse to the cemetery.

hmmmm well I agree that the northern Muslims are a bit radical and extreme in their approach but not so with the southern Muslims they are the ones who have the right to call Islam a religion of peace I wish their northern counterparts can learn from them

Keep being confused!

It's best to bury the dead almost immediately.

He's never gonna be buried with that coffin. You can't be moving a dead body up n down in public uncased- that's why he's been place in a coffin.

Ali wouldn't have wanted to be carried like this.

It is not permissible to delay (burial) except within the limits of what is needed to prepare him or to wait for his relatives or neighbours to come, if that will not take too long according to local custom, because Prophet Muhammed (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: “Hasten to bury your dead….”

It is not permitted to hold a “wake” for him, or to set up pavilions (for mourners to gather), i.e., so called mourning rituals. Those who could not attend the funeral may pray over his grave, if he was in the city where he was, within a period of two months, because the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) prayed over the grave of Umm Sa’d one month after her burial.

Education has really changed the views of the western muslims. If only northerners will allow their people get educated.
