Note: 

It took me several years to understand and experienced on the Islamic funeral undertaking in Malaysia, and yet still perfecting the trade whenever possible. I have made things much easier for those who wish to study this subject based on Quran and Hadis and are most welcome to be my apprentice or just continue reading this blog. The School of Islamic Taught that we followed from the beginning to the end that from Imam Abu Abdullah Muhammad Ibn Idris al Shafii, born in Gaza, Palestine in 767M (150H) - died at Fustat, Egypt in 820M(204H). Known as `Mahzab Shafii ' and  today with the entering of modern applications and practices however preservation of the Quran and Hadis still be kept shining and unchanged. May we all have the blessing from ALLAH.
