EdenGlobalist:Respect peoples tradition, religion and culture. He is a Muslim and nothing is different from how other Muslims are buried. You can choose to be buried in a grave size of an Olympic swimming pool if your religion or tradition permits it. |

EdenGlobalist:How much space do you need when you are dead anyway? Dust to dust. |

EdenGlobalist:Yes, actually... Muslims are buried on their side (Right side) facing the east. That explains why the hole is that narrow. |

We learn everyday, I've never witnessed a Muslim burial but I now understand why their graves are the way they are. Many considerations ![]()

I just learned that in Islamic tradition, the deceased are buried in relatively shallow graves, with the body placed in a side cavity facing East—toward the Kaaba. It makes me wonder: are practitioners not fully aware that, according to both spiritual and biological understanding, the soul departs the body at death? At that point, orientation of the eyes or the body holds no functional meaning, since the physical vessel is no longer the conscious self. The Kaaba cannot be "seen" by a corpse. It’s remarkable how religious customs, often established in times when literacy and scientific awareness were limited, continue to shape our behaviors so deeply. This speaks to the profound influence of belief systems, so powerful that they can override even the most basic logical truths. Does it mean that Muslims do not have advanced enlightened minds to correct this ignorance? |

All those who attended the burial will be buried one day. ![]() |

TheBillyonaire:That's why they don't delay in doing burial. So the soul can face Kaaba in the body before it totally escapes. The problem this time is the prophet did not expect the transit of dead bodies between countries. |

osuulola:what did you meant by the problem is the prophet did not expect the transit of dead bodies btw countries? |

Leave this issue Op abeg. |
| Re: Why This Kind Of Grave To Bury Who Is Dead by ZeemsPropeties: 6:31pm On Jul 17, 2025 |
TheBillyonaire:What would an advanced and enlightened mind do? Allocate a lot of space when a dead body isn't moving around in the grave? This is a practical method that saves space. |

EdenGlobalist:Why is this strange to you or you uninformed or just want to look down on people culture or religion? Egyptians in the past used to embam the dead, the Pharaohs and well to do, the mummies. Indians used to burn their dead, some will hire undertaker to dance with their dead, some will preserved their dead in mortuary for months or year etc nobody complained, if you like boil and fry your dead ones or chop your dead ones, e no concerns anyone and no one will raise an eyebrow, so far na your religion or culture |
| Re: Why This Kind Of Grave To Bury Who Is Dead by TheBillyonaire: 7:18pm On Jul 17, 2025 |
osuulola:This makes sense now, cos the Soul hangs around within hours and days after physical separation. |
| Re: Why This Kind Of Grave To Bury Who Is Dead by stuffs2002: 8:11pm On Jul 17, 2025 |
EdenGlobalist:That is how Muslims are buried. Instead of seeking knowledge, you are here exposing your ignorance. |
| Re: Why This Kind Of Grave To Bury Who Is Dead by WantsandMore: 9:38pm On Jul 17, 2025 |
osuulola:interesting POV. Does that mean those with slightly delayed burial will face a different circumstances or similar situations with those buried earlier? |

I don't understand why people are attacking the Op. Threads like this makes us learn new things. I have never attended a Muslim burial and never knew about this until now. Make una rest! ![]() |

osuulola:That's so illogical, when a person dies, the soul immediately leaves the body, it's instant |

They face "east" 😊 |
| Re: Why This Kind Of Grave To Bury Who Is Dead by SamuraiXXX: 8:25pm On Mar 17 |
espirito:Buried facing the east? So that what will happen? |

EdenGlobalist:y don't u respect other people's culture n tradition? Is that too hard? Must u people put mouth into everything? I won't b surprised if u are from where they give widows corpse water to drink |

DomPerignon:Sane person like you also put mouth, in what sane people should snub. Just the bring out yourself. |

josh123:You're the soul. There's no soul floating away after death to anywhere. When you die, you die. |

UzorIyke:Who be this one? Wetin concern you with me? Abeg park well. |

josh123:Please, allow people to wallow in their ignorance in peace. The body is mere dust, the real person already departed. |
