There is so much mystery about the dead that the living is oblivious of, remember their mortal body died not their spirit or soul. They are still active around their bodies till they are buried. You don't take them unawares you are inviting shock or even stroke, they are energies and entities at death, you notify them.

I don't understand the reason behind it and I'm curious. Google is not giving me a coherent answer.


My late grandfather's friend passed away today, being a Muslim, it's a must that he must be buried today. My grandma called me to come to our hometown ( My present location to my hometown is just 1 hour) to say goodbye to Baba (May God rest his soul).

I got there, I wanted to enter but they said I should knock before entering incase Baba is dressing up or eating . I knocked once but they said I must knock thrice . I know all those eating and dressing up story is sakamanje.

I would have asked someone there but the atmosphere was melanchoIic and I was in a rush to see my grandma and now I'm on my way back to Ado.


What's the real reason for knocking?

A dead body can't feel or see. It dead ... The body is useless or else it want to be used as compost.

TONYE001:


I have spent at least four years dissecting dead bodies. I have been in the mortuary for hours in the night studying....sometimes, alone, other times, with colleagues.

I've walked into rooms where dead bodies lay without knocking.

As a matter of fact, I've dissected the human body from head to toe.

I want to categorically tell you that a dead body is just a carcass...a log of wood, if you may.

It has no power whatsoever. All these talks are just products of our tradition.. We should know better.

I'm not sure you understand the underlying question. He asked "why must you say goodbye to your grandpa's friend?" Since according to you the dead is dead. It can't see or hear and does not know what is going on. What is the purpose of the goodbye. If you are able to answer this, you would have answered your initial question above
