The Preparation for the Next Destination by Tasnim Asgharali Jaffer

As the corpse lay upon the mat, entered into the room from the funeral services, a man. Immediately, he went towards the corpse and knelt beside it, moving it slightly so that the feet of the corpse faced the Qibla. Then, he went towards the head, and closed the half-open eyes gently, before bringing out of his pocket a piece of a long rag and placed it below the jaws of the dead man, tying it firmly upon its head such that the jaws remained firmly shut and in place. Thereafter, he turned towards its limbs, placing them all correctly, straight. The two big toes of the feet, he tied them together as well. Thereafter, he took out a booklet from his front pocket and started reciting the verses of the Holy book as he sat to wait for the arrival of his assistants as well.
