Net. The host of the funeral ceremony is usually the imam of our mosque, and some of them are determined according to the wishes of the deceased. Regardless of seniority and status, as long as they understand Islamic rules, they have high prestige among the masses.

Some funerals are held in funeral homes, and some are held in flat and clean places outside the house. From a religious point of view, it is the last time for the living to worship Allah on behalf of the dead, but it is an intentional worship. Its form is similar to worship: first, the corpse is placed in the west, the host stands near the buried corpse, and other participants stand in a row after taking off their shoes, reciting fragments of the Koran and asking God to forgive the living and the dead, the big and the small, men and women.

Pray to live on the path of Islam and die on the foundation of "Imam". After that, he said to the left and right, "Two eyes." At this point, the funeral is over. The funeral of Hui people is generally not held at sunrise or sunset; Women don't attend funerals and funerals.

Hui people call it "Er Burying Li" to commemorate the deceased, mainly to commemorate the deceased relatives, friends and leaders.

Commemorating the dead generally adopts different scales and methods according to the impermanence of the dead.

Commemoration begins with the night when people are buried after impermanence. The mourners should cook "rice porridge", fry or burn oil incense, and invite the mourners and imams to eat. Hui people call this commemorative activity that night "Small Night". Those who can read the Bible at home go to the grave by themselves, and those who can't read the Bible please go to the grave five times a day for forty days. Hui people believe that within forty days, the soul of the dead is still there. The bereaved family lights incense and burns oil every day, making "Dua" to pray to God, and the rest of the family will cry.

Until the seventh day, the Hui people called it "the seventh day" or "the seventh day". On this day, bereaved families will slaughter sheep, chickens and fry oil incense, and invite imam, Raman and prestigious Hui elderly people to chant Buddhist scriptures and eat oil incense at home. In order to save the nation and survive, the bereaved family asked the Lord to open the door of heaven, and also distributed Nietie (almsgiving) to all those who came to recite the scriptures, and then distributed oil incense to relatives, friends and neighbors. Speaking of "February 27th" and "March 7th", the scale is very small. Sometimes the imam is not invited, but a fragrant sign is ordered, and neighbors or poor people are scattered.

Afterwards, imams, relatives, friends and villagers were invited to come home to eat sesame oil, and some even sent their families to Nie Tie. From then on, we will slaughter sheep and fry oil in the centenary, anniversary, third anniversary, tenth anniversary and thirtieth anniversary, and do our best. After the thirtieth anniversary, some people stopped holding large-scale commemorative activities.

Hui people have a large-scale commemoration of their ancestors, calling him a "mentor" or an "old man". After death, you are respectfully called "Zuye", and the founder of a sect is generally called "Daozuye". For example, the anniversary of the father of the Khufu family, Hong Hairu, is July 24; Ma Mingxin's Ye Menhuan Memorial Day is March 27th.

On these anniversaries, there will be a grand party to bury the dead. Hundreds of sheep and dozens of cows will be slaughtered. More than 10,000 Hui people will go to the grave one after another to eat sesame oil, and some people will come from other provinces and regions to participate in memorial activities to show their respect and loyalty to the elderly.

Although Hui funeral has its good custom of frugality, it still has some shortcomings. It costs a lot of money to deal with funerals, especially in some economically and culturally backward areas. Pay attention to health care when dealing with funeral.
