Allah ﷻ,The Almighty and Majestic Says in the Qur’an:
كُلُّ نَفْسٍ ذَآئِقَةُ الْمَوْتِ وَإِنَّمَا تُوَفَّوْنَ أُجُورَكُمْ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ فَمَن زُحْزِحَ عَنِ النَّارِ وَأُدْخِلَ الْجَنَّةَ فَقَدْ فَازَ وَما الْحَيَاةُ الدُّنْيَا إِلاَّ مَتَاعُ الْغُرُورِ
(3:185)Every soul shall have a taste of death: And only on the Day of Judgment shall you be paid your full recompense. Only he who is saved far from the Fire and admitted to the Garden will have attained the object (of Life): For the life of this world is but goods and chattels of deception.
Losing a family member or loved one can be from amongst the most difficult things one has to deal with in the life of this world. In such circumstances, the Northside Islamic Center provides Islamic Funeral Services in conjunction with the other Islamic Centers in the City of San Antonio.
We have a volunteer based system to take care of all of our funeral needs such as getting the deceased released from the hospital, washing (ghusl) arrangements, Janazah prayer and burial in our muslim-only graveyard located in County Rd 341, La Vernia, TX 78121
Currently, we have a long standing relationship with the Hillcrest Funeral Home who facilitates for most of our needs such as adequate washing facilities, gravesite digging etc.
In order to get more information regarding the procedures and costs, please contact Br Mohammad Amin Choudary at (210) 382-7118 and the Imam of NICSA at imam@nicsatx.org.
