Muslim monuments on the grave. Why do we need photos of the dead on the graves

28.02.2019

"I want to talk about whether it is possible to take a photo on a tombstone from a general photo.
Very often when not good photos deceased, and cut out from some kind of family general photo with relatives or colleagues.

You know that in other countries, they do not hang out images of the faces of the deceased on tombstones, neither in Europe nor in America, only their full names. and years of life, epigraph.

And we have a tradition with photographs, why?

Question:
- Most recently, I found out that the photo for the monument to my grandmother was taken from a picture in which, besides her, we were depicted with my cousin
(True, we are smeared halfway on it).
Could this circumstance influence our destinies?

The fact of the matter is that all this affects, and can damage. After processing the image in graphics editor, you can remove the visible image from the frame, but the energy trace, the phantom of a retouched and living person, will remain.

From the conducted experiments:
- An undeveloped photo (a piece of white paper) was given to a psychic, and he described in detail the person "depicted" in the photo. In fact, it was just a piece of white paper, there was no visible image!

But there was an energy trace invisible to the eye in the photo ...

Placing the image of the deceased on the monument is, apparently, a big and universal occult mistake.
(uh, mistake..)
with far-reaching consequences.

A photo or an engraved image on a gravestone, as it were, "seals" the soul of the deceased, tying it to this image (as appearance) and a specific place - a cemetery.

It turns out that the soul does not have the opportunity to enter a new incarnation, since both the appearance of the deceased and some part of his energy (through the photo) are “attached”
to the buried image of the dead body.

Please note that it was in Soviet times.

In no (as far as we know) country, except for the territory former USSR, on the monuments, a photo of the deceased has never been placed and is not placed.
Just the name and dates.

And this is despite the fact that in all countries there are technologies that allow you to perform weather-resistant photo printing on ceramics,
and artistic engraving on stone.

In this connection, we were suddenly pierced by a terrible insight.

Maybe this is it - occult reason extinction of the country's population?
Not in any of the modern non-Orthodox denominations (neither in Catholicism, nor in Protestantism, nor in Islam, nor in Judaism, nor in Buddhism)
the image of the deceased on the monument is not allowed!
In Orthodoxy, apparently, this also could not be done, at least until the October Revolution of 1917.

Everyone who was in the old (before the 20th century) cemetery will confirm that there are no photos and engraved images on the tombstones!
Only embossed names, dates, mournful inscriptions.
If there are decorations in the form of ornaments, bas-reliefs or sculptures, then they have absolutely nothing to do with the appearance of the person buried under them.

In the modern (after the 20s of the XX century) cemetery - the vast majority of tombstones contain photographic or graphic image the deceased - a ceramic oval with a photo, an engraving of a face on a stone, or even a bust.
And it never occurs to anyone that this one, at least, strange custom is essentially an occult ritual.

The custom of placing images of the deceased on the monument should simply be banned.

On Orthodox websites, one can find, for example, exhortations by priests about the inadmissibility of using the “pagan” rite of pouring vodka on the grave.

But the Russian Orthodox Church did not express its opinion about the photo on the crosses and tombstones.

In Islam, as you know, the image of people and animals in general is negative.
Of course, it is not accepted to place the image of the deceased on the grave.
And this rule was observed by Muslims before and is observed at the present time quite strictly.

In Judaism, it is also not customary to place photos on tombstones.
In the modern Jewish cemetery, one can sometimes find ceramic ovals with photographs or an image engraved on stone, but very rarely. And such tombstones usually refer to the "new" times.

There is nothing to say about Buddhism, but in Tibetan Buddhism, the dead body is treated without any respect at all, believing that it is not the dead body that needs care, but the soul

What a Catholic or Protestant cemetery looks like, many have seen in foreign (European and American) films.
There are no photographs or images of the deceased on the tombstones.

But in an ordinary Russian cemetery, located in any region of the European part of the country, almost all tombstones and even crosses are with photographs.

This strange custom was imposed on the population of the country, without any explanation,
why put a photo on a tombstone.

So that loved ones do not forget what the deceased relative looked like?

For this there are photos in the album.

It must be understood that this custom of occult "sealing" must be stopped immediately,
until the country's population has completely died out.

in Italy there are photographs on the graves, the author of the post has obviously been to few places. look at Google, it will not let you lie :) the presence and absence of a photo on the grave and the connection with the number of inhabitants in the country is a superstitious delusion. the absence of photographs on old graves is explained by the absence of photography as such, since photography itself was "invented" at the end of the 19th century, the method of making it on enamel, even later. there is a difference in cultural traditions graves different countries, But Lately the use of photographs on slabs has become very common in Europe.

In general, I want to talk more about whether it is possible to take a photo on a tombstone from a general photo. Very often, there are no good photos of the deceased, and they are cut out from some kind of family general photo with relatives or colleagues. My dears, this is absolutely impossible to do.

But then another question arises. You know that in other countries, they do not hang out images of the faces of the deceased on tombstones, neither in Europe nor in America, only their full names. and years of life, epigraph. And we have a tradition with photographs, why?

To be honest, as a child, I really liked walking around the cemetery and looking at photos of the faces of the dead, and I still like it. You look, you think what this person was like, whether they loved him. And they all look at you in response so attentively, only they can’t say anything.))) But I’m a witch.

Question from Nadezhda from Russia: I read the question about the photo on the monument, where there were other people besides the deceased. My question is the following - I need to take a photo on my husband's monument, but there is no suitable photo where he is alone, there is a photo where he is with our daughter. If you process it in Photoshop and, of course, remove the daughter from the frame, then is it possible to put such a photo on a monument, will it harm the daughter?

Question from Lyudmila from Russia: Recently, I found out that the photo for the monument to my grandmother was taken from a picture in which, in addition to her, my cousin and I were depicted (however, we are half smeared on it). Could this circumstance influence our destinies?

That's just the point, that all it - influences, and can damage. After processing the image in a graphics editor, you can remove the visible image from the frame, but the energy trace, the phantom of a retouched and (note) a living person, will remain.

The following fact will seem interesting to many - experiments were carried out (it seems in the UK).

In fact, it was just a piece of white paper, there was no visible image! But there was an energy trace invisible to the eye in the photo ...

Every religion has its own own attitude to death, respectively, the customs and rituals of seeing off the dead and their burial in each faith are different. The Muslim religion is no exception. It has fairly strict rules for the burial of the dead, and certain requirements are put forward for Muslim monuments. What is allowed to be installed on the graves of Muslims, what can be depicted on their monuments, and what is strictly prohibited by the Koran and Sharia, we will consider in our article. For a good example, here are some photos. Muslim monuments.

Muslim attitude towards death

First of all, it is worth knowing that the Islamic religion has its own understanding of death. For a Muslim, his death is not something terrible, and it cannot be unexpected. People of this religion perceive death as an inevitable phenomenon, and for the most part they treat it fatalistically. It is believed that a good Muslim, who during his life belonged to Allah, after death returns to him. Regret about this is prohibited.

Muslim funerals should be modest and discreet. Unlike Christians, Muslims do not openly grieve and cry loudly. Only women and children are allowed to shed tears for the dead. Since after death the deceased goes to Allah and prosperity is granted to him, it is forbidden to write sad words about the death of the deceased, regrets and promises to grieve for him for a long time on Muslim monuments.

Modesty, devoid of all sorts of rich excesses

Almost all people who adhere to Christian religion, consider it a duty of honor to build graves with worthy monuments for their relatives and friends. They erect huge granite structures, monuments on the graves, they can install statues in the form of angels and the deceased himself. Huge flower vases are mounted into the slabs, chic fences and other structures are installed near the graves, for which relatives have enough imagination and, of course, material resources.

People believe that by spending a lot of money on the construction of chic monuments, they express their love for the deceased person, demonstrate how important he was to them and how much they appreciate him. Muslims, on the other hand, believe that respect for the deceased should be shown in prayers for him, but not with a chic monument erected on the grave. A Muslim monument in a cemetery should look modest, without frills and pathos. It has only one function - to indicate that a person is buried in this place.

The tradition of marking the place of burial originates in one of the hadiths. It says that after the death of Uthman ibn Mazun, the Prophet put a stone in his place of burial and said that now he would know where the grave of his brother was. It is also forbidden by the Koran to step on the graves and burial places of Muslims. Accordingly, monuments help to mark these places.

Acceptable text engravings

According to one version, the Prophet forbade attaching the graves of Muslims to anything, building something over them, and also covering them with plaster. It follows from this that it is also impossible to write inscriptions on Muslim monuments. Some scholars believe that these words about inscriptions should be taken not as a ban, but as an extremely undesirable action. If, for example, the grave belongs to famous figure, a righteous person or a scientist, then the designation on the grave of his name will be considered a good deed.

On the graves of ordinary Muslims, it is allowed to indicate the name of the dead only to designate them. Writing the date of death is undesirable (makruh), but is permitted.

The question of whether it is possible to decorate the graves with inscriptions from the Koran or engrave the words of the Prophet is also controversial. Recently, such engravings in Muslim cemeteries are very common. But if we turn to history, it becomes clear that this is haram (sin). According to one of the hadiths, it is impossible to engrave the words of the Prophet, suras and verses of the Koran, because over time the graves can be leveled to the ground and people will walk on them. The words of the Prophet can thus be defiled.

What should not be on Muslim monuments and graves

The grave of a true Muslim should be modest. On the monument there should not be inscriptions about the grief of relatives and friends. It is also not worth placing a photo of the deceased on the monument.

It is strictly forbidden to build crypts, mausoleums and tombs on the grave. Sharia prohibits the erection of monuments that are too beautiful and show the wealth of relatives. It is believed that different monuments and lavishly decorated graves can cause quarrels between the dead. This will prevent them from enjoying the welfare granted by Allah after death.

Already for a long time the mosque allows not only to write the name of the deceased and the date of his death on the monuments, but now it is allowed to indicate some symbols. On men's monuments, a crescent can be depicted, and on women's - flowers (their number means the number of children). Photos of Muslim monuments on the grave with such symbols are given in the article.

The form of the monument and the materials from which they are made

Muslim monuments in the cemetery, photos of which can be seen in the article, are usually built from marble or granite. Often they are made in the form of a kind of arched structure, which at the top resembles a dome. Sometimes the top of the monument is made in the form of a dome of a mosque or in the form of a minaret.

Which direction should the statue face?

The question of which direction the monument should face is fundamentally important for Muslims. The grave must be constructed in such a way that it is possible to place the deceased in it facing Mecca. This tradition is strictly forbidden to be violated, and the mosque treats its observance extremely strictly.

Accordingly, the monument is installed only with the front side to the east. For this reason, all monuments face only one direction. Passing through these cemeteries, it is very easy to determine the direction. The east side is always where all the structures on the graves face.

In the design of the monuments, not only the portrait of the deceased can be depicted, but in fact any other image. But here you need to take into account some nuances, for example, if the deceased was a person Christian faith, then you can use church images: angels, crosses, crucifixion. The Church does not forbid it. The monument can also depict pets of the deceased or his hobby, for example, if the deceased played the guitar, then you can depict him with a guitar, etc. At the same time, according to Sharia law, living creatures cannot be depicted on the monument. According to Jewish traditions, the monument should not have a portrait or flowers. Monuments should be modest, without pretentiousness, since everyone is equal before death. In principle, you can generally limit yourself to only a portrait, the date of life and death.

Is it possible to place a photograph in youth on the monument

There are no ecclesiastical or ethnic restrictions. The main thing is that you and the deceased like the photo.

Is it possible to place a photo in a headdress on a monument?

In principle, such photographs are not recommended, but if the deceased loved this photograph or headdress, then you can. For example, the deceased was a military man, a rescuer, then it is quite possible to use a photograph with a headdress, but it is better to discuss this issue with the artist.

Which side to place the cross or crucifix

In principle, there is no difference, but most people prefer with right side from the portrait of the deceased, since by faith the Angel sits on our right shoulder.

What flowers to choose for the decoration of the monument

The most common option is roses and carnations. Roses are usually chosen by women, and carnations for men. But if you wish, you can simply choose the favorite flowers of the deceased.

The portrait must be on the back or front side

Here it is necessary to take into account the peculiarities of religion and national customs, for example, on Greek monuments, the portrait of the deceased is stuffed on the back, as the table and benches are set in the head of the deceased. At the same time, most Christians set benches and tables on the side or at the feet of the deceased, which is why the photo is stuffed on the front side.
