What the Sunna asks of a Muslim family from the last hours through the burial and the mourning that follows, with the words to say in Arabic, and the practical steps in Sydney and New South Wales. It is written for the day you need it: short steps first, evidence underneath.
In the first hours: say innā lillāhi wa innā ilayhi rājiʿūn, close the eyes, and call your mosque or a Muslim funeral service. If the death was sudden or unexpected, call the police (000) first: the coroner may need to be involved. The Sunna is to bury quickly, so start the paperwork the same day.
