Funeral Prayers (Salat-ul-Janaazah) & BURIAL INFORMATION

Steps for Funeral Arrangements

1. Initial Contact
   Upon the passing of a loved one, please contact a funeral home promptly to arrange for the transfer of the deceased. Our community commonly uses the following two mosques (masajid) for funeral rites and arrangements:

   • Abubakar Asiddiq Islamic Center
     591 Industrial Mile Road, Columbus, OH 43228
     Br Ahmed Farah ; Ofc (614) 272-9994 ; Cellphone: (614) 632-3571

   • Masjid Ibn Taymiyah and Islamic Center
     2334 Mock Road, Columbus, OH 43219
     Phone: (614) 418-9137

2. Burial Site Coordination
   Both masajid assist in coordinating with the Islamic Cemetery of Columbus to arrange for the burial site (qabr).

3. Alternative Burial Location
   If you wish to proceed with burial at Fairview Memorial Park, you must contact them directly to make burial arrangements.

4. Janaazah (Funeral) Prayer
   The above masajid can facilitate coordination with the Noor Islamic Cultural Center (NICC) if the Salat-ul-Janaazah (funeral prayer) needs to be held there. Alternatively, you may contact NICC directly to schedule the Janaazah prayer.

5. Community Notification (ENN Alert)
   To notify the community, please send the following information to news@noorohio.org so that an ENN Alert can be issued:

   • Full name of the deceased
