'Imarat al-Qubur fi al-Islam - Al 'Allamah al-Mu'allimi

The issue of constructing and decorating graves is a matter of concern for many Muslims, requiring a precise understanding of the relevant Islamic rulings. This book takes us on an exploratory journey through extensive explanations of the religious texts that define the Islamic stance on grave architecture, including construction, decoration, and plastering. It highlights the legal guidelines that ensure adherence to Islamic teachings in respecting the deceased, without slipping into excessive ornamentation that may lead to religious violations.

The book aims to guide Muslims towards the correct way of dealing with graves, so that they remain places of remembrance and reflection, without exceeding the limits set by Islam. It presents its evidence from the Holy Quran and the noble Prophetic Sunnah, helping the reader understand the rulings on constructing and decorating graves in a clear and accessible manner.
