In Islam, cremation is strictly forbidden.
“The human body, even in death, deserves dignity and care.” Muslims bury the deceased quickly and simply, believing the soul remains connected to the body until Judgment Day. Burial is a sign of respect and submission to God’s will.
Secular and Spiritual Perspectives
Those who are spiritual but not religious may view cremation as a natural return to the elements. Some believe the soul joins the universe or continues in memory.
Others with a scientific or humanist view believe consciousness ends at death, and cremation is seen as a personal or ecological choice.
A Matter of Belief
“Cremation is more than a physical process—it is a deeply symbolic act.” What happens to the soul is ultimately shaped by personal belief. Whether it’s a release, a transition, or simply the end, this question brings meaning and peace in the face of loss.
