Leaving behind someone to look after your affairs can be in the form of bringing up a righteous child and/or serving mankind by giving Zakaa of time, wealth, knowledge, which will adopt this role. Air Janaza: When we are leaving this world for the next one, it shall be like a trip to another country. Where details of that country won't be found in a glamorous travel brochures, but in the Holy Qur'an and the Hadiths.

Where our plane won't be Indian Air Lines, British Airways, Gulf Air or Emirates, but Air Janaza. Where our luggage won't be the allowed 30 KGs, but our deeds no matter how heavy they weigh. You don't pay for excess luggage. They are carried free of charge, with your Creator's compliment. Where our dress won't be a Pierre Cardin suit or the like, but the white cotton shroud. Where our perfume won't be Channel, Paco Rabane, but the Camphor and Attar.

Where our passports won't be Indian, British, French or American but Al-Islam.Where our visa won't be the six months leave to stay or else, but, The "La Ilaha Illallah." Where the air hostess won't be a gorgeous female, but Izraeel and its like. Where the in-flight services won't be 1st class or economy but a piece ofbeautifully scented or foul smelling cloth. Where our place of destination won't be Heathrow Terminal 1or Jeddah International Terminal but the last Terminal Graveyard.

Where our waiting lounge won't be nice carpeted and air-conditioned rooms but the 6 feet deep gloomy Grave (Qabr). Where the Immigration Officer won't be His Majesty's officers, but Munkar and Nakeer. They only check out whether you deserve the place you yearn to go. Where there is no need for Customs Officers or detectors. Where the transit airport will be Al-Barzakh. Where our final place of destination will be either the Garden under which rivers flow or the Hellfire.
