### Steps to Perform Funeral Prayer **The Four Takbirs:** The funeral prayer consists of four Takbirs, similar to regular prayer, but without bowing or prostrating. **Recitation of Al-Fatiha:** After the first Takbir, Al-Fatiha is recited. **Ibrahimic Prayer:** Following this, prayers are sent upon the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), similar to what is said in Tashahhud. **Dua for the Deceased:** After the third Takbir, a supplication specific to the deceased is made. Following a fourth Takbir, prayers are made for the Muslims, concluding with Tasleem. ### Virtue and Rewards of Funeral Prayer The funeral prayer holds immense reward as said in the Hadith: "Whoever follows a funeral and prays over it gets a Qirat, and whoever attends until the burial will receive two Qirats," (Sahih Bukhari).
