I BURIED MY FATHER

I BURIED MY FATHER

I buried my beloved father on Saturday 3^rd December, 2016  with prayers. No food, no drinks. I cant bury my father and bury my money.

The funeral ceremony was a one-day affair (janazah and fidau). No 3rd day or 7th day prayer. I will pray for him everyday of my life. The whole ceremony was simple and not expensive. I took no loan. I didnt borrow one kobo. It only cost me canopies and chairs.

There were no drinks, no music and no dancing at my father's funeral. How could I dance on my father's grave? I slaughtered no single cow, not even a chicken when I buried my father. I cannot afford to live a false life. I remain oppressed.

But now I feel relaxed. I am emboldened. No creditor can knock on my door because I took no loan to bury my father. I stayed within my limit.

Bury me when I die. Bury me like I buried my father. Bury me like I lived. Bury me the way I love. No noise, no music, no drinks, no dancing. Bury me as a Muslim.
