During its funeral, a righteous soul will wish to speed up its body's burial, so that it can move on to enjoy its time in the barzakh. It will hear its family and loved ones pray and mourn over it as it is placed back in the earth. It will face the qiblah to reflect its dedication to prayer during life. And it will answer correctly the angels who come to question it. When you die, will this be your soul?

Al-Hikam al-Ataa’iyyah # 18:
إحَالَتُكَ الْأَعْمَالُ عَلَى وُجُودِ الْفَرَاغِ مِنْ رُعُونَاتِ النَّفْسِ

Your postponement of deeds till the time when you are free is merely one of the delusions of the self.

NOTE: It was challenging to capture footage at the graveyard without the flowers present. However, many scholars discourage this practice (i.e. placing flowers on the grave), noting that it does not benefit the deceased. It is suggested that it would better to give away the amount spent on flowers in charity on behalf of the deceased. This act of sadaqa would actually benefit the deceased.

Note: Only vocals were used in the making of the soundtrack.

As we venture into the space of producing higher quality media, we’ve worked hard to make sure that our compliance with our religious ethics is not sacrificed. While Yaqeen has always produced vocals for our Ramadan series, this series was unique in that it also included the story of a family in the background. Our talented production team worked with our scholars to ensure that all actors were in proper hijab, and that all gender interactions were only by Mahrams in real life. We’re grateful to the team for its wonderful effort, and grateful to the families that agreed to participate.
