A scheme to teach the traditional Muslim funeral ritual of Ghusl to a new generation has been set up in the UK.
ทดลองเล่นสล็อต The most played slot game is considered to be another online slot game, which is popular among online gambling.
Ghusl is the ritual washing and shrouding of the deceased ahead of burial, and is one of a number of certain religious obligations that have to be carried out after death.
Before the coronavirus pandemic, these rites were often carried out by older volunteers in the Muslim community.
But many of them are still shielding to protect themselves from Covid-19.
Supporting Humanity, a bereavement charity, is now holding workshops to train younger volunteers to carry out the mandatory Islamic ritual.
Head of Operations, Tahreem Noor, tells BBC Asian Network at an event held in London, "the initiative came post pandemic when the number of deaths increased" and they "needed more people to help out with funerals".
Similar events are also being hosted across the country.
"We need up to six volunteers to do one Ghusl," Salma Patel, from Supporting Humanity, who trains and performs Ghusl, tells Asian Network.
During the Covid restrictions, she says many families were denied performing the religious rites for their loved ones. It was left to volunteers like her to cleanse and shroud around three bodies a day during the peak of the pandemic.
"We can get a call to help at a funeral at short notice," she adds.
In the early days of the pandemic, there was little information about the virus and whether there was any risk of catching Covid from the deceased. Many Muslim organisations, including the Muslim Council of Britain, issued guidance on the performance of Ghusl for deceased persons with suspected or confirmed Covid-19.
