Ask The Imam Question and Answer

1084 I have attended many Funerals and one thing that is very apparent that although you will find many non Sunni Alims present at the graveside, whilst the burial is taking place, the Sunni Alims are nowhere to be seen.

Could you please tell me why our Alims do not find it necessary to attend these occasions and how come we the public are lead blindly by the other Alims?
You have raised a very valid point of concern. It is a big failing on the part of the Ahle Sunnah Ulema when they overlook situations such as these and the youth unfortunately have to perform the rituals themselves or ask assistance from other non Sunni Alims as you call it.

What I would humbly request all our readers to do is; to make it their mission to learn more about Islam in order to be confident to perform such acts so one does not totally be dependent on a Alim.

I would also urge all the Ulema to take heed from the questioner and try to fulfill all the duties of being Alims and present themselves in such gatherings with regularity.

The general public often lead by example and the Ulema need to set an example that teaches us the proper way to fulfill our obligations.
