The Jews and Muslims share many common beliefs and practices. Burying the dead with a simple shroud is one of them, after washing the body and get buried under the ground.

Caskets are expensive. Jews are smart to not spend thousands of dollars on a box.

[@randythomas3478]

Tight as a mouses ear they are..... But do not let them into your pockets!

[@sunbulah9779]

Muslims aren’t buried in gaskets either, they’re buried in simple clean white sheets only which’s called Coffin

[@thelmasweeney5403]

so if we arent buried in a casket do we just get thrown into a hole in the ground

[@danak1420]

Thelma Sweeney lol no. As long as it's biodegradable then you could bury your dead in it. The goal is not to preserve the body in any way

[@thomasdykstra100]

How curious that the body is thought to debase the soul, rather than the other way around! "The soul who sins is the one who will die. A son will not bear the iniquity of his father, and a father will not bear the iniquity of his son. The righteousness of the righteous man will fall upon him, and the wickedness of the wicked man will fall upon him. But if the wicked man turns from all the sins he has committed, keeps all My statutes, and does what is just and right, he will surely live; he will not die." If this is the case, the soul is first of all harmed by one's own moral failure; the dissolution of one's body is consequential to his falling short of God's requirements for righteousness.

You nuke the graveyard ...disintegration will ve TOTAL!

[@talhashakeelshaikh]

Accept Islam. Accept the fact that Almighty Allah is the only God and Muhammad ﷺ is the Prophet and Last Messenger of Allah. Read Holy Qur'an and seek guidance and forgiveness from Allah and accept Islam. As Islam is the only true religion. Or prepare to face unimaginable extreme hardships in the grave and afterlife you are talking about. May Almighty Allah provide you guidance. اللہّٰ_اکبر 💯

[@moideenkuttykadengal3015]

The One and Only TRUE Religion is ISLAM. May God Almighty lead us to the Right path...🙏🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹

[@indrabudhu1069]

Muslims and Jews are the same and I do not know why they do not get along, Muslims do not want flowers at their funerals. Muslims and Jews also read from the back of their books

[@lanavandutch5591]

The reason Muslims don’t get along with Jews,is because of the violence they use against Palestine. Muslims can’t get along with anyone who attacks other Muslims, it’s against the teachings of the Prophet Mohammed(pbuh). That’s the only reason.

[@WeCube1898]

Their politicians don't get along. Their people can eat on the same restaurant and pray on the same room.

[@glennbentley4226]

I am more interested in enjoying life could not care less about my death.

[@dusseldorf3498]

That's bull-shit hhhhh and I'm not sure what you saying about it

[@tonyd9455]

Ridiculous! Once the soul leaves the body (upon death, unless you're an idiot spirit that wants to stay living in a dead body), it is the soul that returns to the Lord, not the body. To think that a body will come alive again without a soul, is just utter nonsense.

[@timterrell8678]

What’s ridiculous and nonsense is you arguing for your version of the supernatural. There’s zero evidence of any souls or spirits in this reality. The laws of physics don’t allow them to exist. We are a collection of atoms obeying the laws of physics. There is nothing from which the soul can be made of. It’s a made up religious concept.

[@WeCube1898]

Ishmael being a son of Abraham is a Hebrew , Right ???
