Hindu Cremation Angers US Muslims
A decision by a US family of Bangladeshi origin to cremate their Muslim son in the Hindu tradition, not according to Islamic teachings, has angered American Muslims, reported The New York Times on Saturday, October 4.
"It is our job to bury him in the Muslim way," said Junnun Choudhury, secretary of the Jamaica Muslim Center at the New York city.
Shafayet Reja, a 22-year-old Muslim, died in a car accident last month while returning from a Ramadan iftar at Stony Brook’s Muslim Students Association.
Immediately, his Hindu mother and Muslim father decided to cremate his body in Hindu tradition.
Reja, who graduated from the State University of New York at Stony Brook in 2007, was studying to be a licensed insurance broker.
Some of Reja's close friends said that he told them about his wish to have a Muslim burial.
"It was the community’s business because the community knew he (Reja) was a Muslim," said Choudhury.
In Islam, cremation is prohibited as it is disrespectful to the dead body and Islam calls for respecting human beings whether alive or dead.
It is an obligation on Muslims as a community to ensure that every Muslim who dies is properly washed, shrouded, and buried according to the teachings of Islam.
The Muslim minority in the US is estimated between six to seven million.
Family Choice
Reja's parents insist that the burial of their son was a private issue.
"This is a family decision," Farhad, the mother, said.
"This is America."
The family says that the Muslim protest against their son's cremation was a violation of their civil rights.
"We have freedom of religion, and we have the Constitution," said the Rejas’ son Mishal, 19, who studies at Washington University in St. Louis.
"Why would they bother us? It's none of their business. Even if he was the most hard-core Muslim."
The family had turned down pleas by several American Muslims to reverse their decision to cremate the Muslim son.
Furthermore, the family filed a complaint with the Police Department's hate crimes unit alleging that some Muslims accosted them at their son's funeral and threatened to boycott and bomb their shopping center in Jackson Heights, Queens.
But Muslims, who protested against the family decision, refuted the claims.
"(We did not call for boycott, but protesting the cremation was) a social obligation and a religious obligation," said Zakaria Masud, Secretary of the Jackson Heights Bangladeshi Business Association.

Muslim Brotherhood ...The US Muslims are against it because, In Islam The Dead Body is supposed to be given a respectful burial in accordance with Islamic Law. If the guy is a true Muslim, He need a Respectful burial. I even think that the Christian Brothers do think the same if he was a Christian.

I guess the modern ...I guess the modern crematorium(electric ones) are much better...flick of a switch n poof!! all that remains is a small pile of ashes!! Saves space!!
Btw, realsome they dont 'throw' the body on the fire. They place it on the funeral pyre and then light it!
I understand your anguish in this case, it must be really hard to accept a fellow believer being cremated in a way opposed by your relegion.
But just to tell you another viewpoint, some people feel that burning the body to ashes is better than leaving it for worms to eat through...ever seen a half decomposed body??
As for me, burying burning...whts the differance...I'd be dead anyway and wudnt be in a position to use the body!! On second thoughts I might prefer those high voltage electric things, gone in a second...LOL!!

If they are in a country run ...If they are in a country run by Islamic law, then they have to abide by it. If they are in a country where religion is not used but instead the constitution, they have no right to imply what their religion calls for it. If their time comes, then do it in themselves. Let the family decide what they want to do with their son. They will forget the lad in a month time, so there's no difference. only the family will mourn for the dead.
It's not because things are difficult that we don't dare, it's because we don't dare that makes things difficult!

Haaaa......................Dead ones have feelings now??? ...WOW America is booming and now they have found out through MR. REALSOMEONE(PHD.ON DEADONES FEELINGS) that its painful for a dead one if he is put in fire..!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yaar it seems Mr, Realsomeone has tried it out quite a few times and at last come to an conclusion.
Its soo funny, This "Realsomeone" has got no work has time to think abt wht is wrong for the Deadones....!!!!
Its the Decision of the FAMILY and nothing is more Important than the family.

hmmmm Just a small note ...You do know dont you that in small countries where there isnt much space for burial grounds.. u pay for a lot of land to bury ur dead in and then a few months later the ppl in charge of the cemetary remove the bodies and cremate them?! just to tell you... so whether Islamic/christian/ or any other religion.. in these small countries this is gonna happen sooner or later..
At the end they are dead, ur soul is gone on its way.. whats left behind is just the "vessel" that was being used.. so what difference does it make?!

winn ...Prior to cremation, the body is washed and anointed, the hair (and beard) is trimmed, and the corpse is given new or clean clothes. During the procession, relatives and mourners, who carry the body to the cremation ground, chant verses that invoke Yama's help. The body is then placed on a funeral pyre. The eldest son finally walks around the pyre three times, each time pouring sacred water on the deceased. He then sets fire to the wood with a torch that has been blessed. Throughout the sacred ritual, relatives and mourners chant Vedic mantras to quicken the soul's release.

PM said
Realsomeone, do you mean to tell us that a dead body screamed ...when it was being cremated? As a Muslim, I would expect you would stay away from a cremation and thus, you probably heard someone crying or wailing -- but not the dead body.
The father was Muslim and his wife was Hindu. If the father didn't advocate for the son to be buried then that is on him. And as someone pointed out, the legal system in the States would follow the desires of the family survivors. This is not some anti-Muslim propaganda.
Ultimately, what's done is done and Allah knows best.

there is no respect for the parents in this matter since they do not respect the son's wish which is righteous and therefore you do not blindly obey your parents when they are commanding you to do evil.
i understand this is legal in the states but in Islam it isnt and the Muslim person should be washed and buried respectfully.

Realsomeone, u cannot be sure that the person wished to be buried, he didnt make any will or anything. I guess in life we can can choose our religion and maybe wish to be buried or cremated. but once we die it's just the body remaining. I dont know what happens to the soul or whatever. this body eventually becomes dust , whether buried of burnt.

well actually since the ...well actually since the deceased is a Muslim... its his human right to be buried as per his religion that which he practiced while he was still alive and he definitely would have wished for such arrangements after death. the decision to cremate would be rather selfish attempt of his parents ignoring the beliefs of their departed son.

PM said
realsomeone, it is YOU who doesn't understand the laws in the US ...As an American, I think I understand our legal system better than you. I also assume you understand Somalia's legal system better than me. Right?
Muslim or not muslim, the decision about what to do with the body when someone dies in the US goes to the next of kin. In this case that is the family. I think they should have followed his wishes but LEGALLY they don't have to. The only thing that would have been different was if he wrote a legal will, specifying exactly what should be done in the event of his death. Apparently, he did not (as most probably he wasn't thinking about dying at this young age). If anything, Muslims who are legal adults should learn from this situation and make sure they have a legal document in place to make sure they are buried according to Islamic guidelines.
That said, this is not a case of special discrimination against Muslims. This is a case of grieving parents who made a decision that we may not agree with but that had every legal right to do so. As long as one lives in a non-Muslim country one has to accept the legal system there. The way to prevent this, as I stated was to do so within the framework of the law by a will.

Hold on guys, the title (to ...Hold on guys, the title (to me)reeks of 'sensationalism'. Just because he was cremated and not buried does not mean it was done in Hindu tradition...I mean there is more than 'burning' to a Hindu cremation. There are quite a lot of places in the world where cremation is followed for various reasons...
so the question is this being called a 'Hindu Cremation' coz they followed the rituals that are associated with a Hindu funeral or is it being branded 'Hindu' jus because he was not buried but cremated?? ( If its the latter then, I would say, this title was purely intended as a sensationalist attempt by the journalist).The fact that the deceased's mom was a Hindu doesnt change anything either. Btw, 'Farhad' doesnt sound like a Hindu name...
