Why do Muslims bury dead bodies instead of cremating them?

sirajstc · Jun 10, 2010

First of all, everyone who will read the Qur'an he/she will know that the Muslim(the one who submit his/her will to the will of God) must to be buried. I will quote only one verse without to forget the other verse which speak about what happened between Qabeel and habeel (Cain and Abel) the sons of Adam(pbuh).

In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful

Rivalry in worldly increase distracteth you (1) Until ye come to the graves. (2)...

[Holy Quran : Surah (Chapter) At-Takathur(102)]

Components of human body present in the soil

Elements that are present in the human body are present in lesser or greater quantity in the soil. Hence it is more scientific to bury a dead body, as it easily gets decomposed and mixed in the soil.

No Pollution

Cremating (burning) the dead body leads to pollution of the atmosphere which is detrimental to health and harmful for the environment. There is no such pollution caused by burying a dead body.

Surrounding land becomes fertile

To cremate a dead body several trees have to be chopped, which reduces the greenery and harms the environment and the ecology. When dead bodies are buried, besides the trees being saved, the surrounding land becomes fertile and it improves the environment.

Economical

It is expensive to cremate a dead body when tons of wood have to be burned. Annually there is a loss of crores of rupees, only because dead bodies are cremated in India. Burying dead bodies is very cheap. It hardly costs any money.

Same land can be utilised for burying another body

The wood used for cremating a dead body cannot be reutilised for cremating another dead body since it gets converted to ashes. The land used for burying a dead body can be reutilised for burying another body after a few years since the human body gets decomposed and mixed in the soil.

which religion?....

according to Hitler Christianity is only for white Aryan race of humans....

according to Hinduism burying female girls alive...and cracking open the heads of devotees with coconuts are all ok.....not to mention drinking cow urine...marrying animals and such stuff....

and according to that Buddhist who threw a grenade at SRK's concert...its ok in Buddhism to kill innocent ppl at a concert coz they are "enjoying themselves" when on a date a random Buddhist monk died....

like wise certain terrorists think Islam allows them to kill ppl....

if the above three are right...then what you say about Islam is right too no?.....

Did i say those were right? :lol:

So pathetic of you :rofl:

It was not in the Bible that Christianity is only for White Aryans... But Islam teaches you to treat non-muslims worse than animals! :lol:

And Buddha didn't teach to kill or didnt kill people himslef, but Muhammad led wars and people are killing in the name of Islam.
This is how Qu'ran asks to fight in the name of Allah
"Fight in the cause of God those who fight you, but do not transgress limits; for God loves not transgressors. And slay them wherever you catch them, and turn them out from where they have turned you out; for tumult and oppression are worse than slaughter... But if they cease, God is Oft-forgiving, Most Merciful... If they cease, let there be no hostility except to those who practice oppression" (2:190-193).
Fight in the cause of god!!!!

Tell me are there any buddhist terrorist group? Any terrorist group killing in the name of Bible or the Hindu scriptures?

Why do we only see terroists killing while holding the Qu'ran? but not the Bible, Tripitaka etc? :lol:

".its ok in Buddhism to kill innocent ppl at a concert coz they are "enjoying themselves" when on a date a random Buddhist monk died"
--- Its not ok in Buddhism to kill people, how pathetic again :lol:

you are arguing even without knowing the basics :lol:

And i would consider Hindu women suiciding in Sati pujaa is better than Muhammad sleeping with a 6 year old baby girl, ayesha :angry:

LMAO.....wow....

then tell me why Buddhists in Bangladesh attacked....beat and kidnapped Christians...and forced them to convert to Buddhism?....isn't that done for Buddhism?.....

Muhammad(pbuh) never initiated a war.....all battles he fought was in self defense.......look it up if you don't believe me....

if Napoleon....Thomas Elliot....and hundred of more ppl.....

these are a few comments made by educated ppl who TOOK THE TIME TO ACTUALLY RESEARCH SOMETHING and did not just copy paste and accept propaganda as truth.....

"By a fortune absolutely unique in history, Mohammed is a threefold founder of a nation, of an empire, and of a religion.-
Rev. R. Bosworth-Smith Mohammed and Mohammedanism 1946.

Head of the State as well as the Church. He was Caesar and Pope in one; but he was Pope without Pope's pretensions, Caesar without the legions of Caesar: without a standing army, without a bodyguard, without a palace, without a fixed revenue. If ever any man had the right to say that he ruled by the right divine, it was Mohammad, for he had all the power without its instruments and without its supports. He care not for the dressing of power. in keeping with his public life.
- Rev. R. Bosworth Smith Mohammed and Mohammedanism, London, p 92.

The simplicity of his private life was Muhammad was the soul of kindness, and his influence was felt and never forgotten by those around him.

U better have answered my questions rather than posting some quotes from a book!!! Is that because you are unsure about Islam and relying on 'non-muslims' ' sayings? :rofl:

Don't say what i didn't say, I said Muhammad led wars. not initiated... Haha but, there are things he himself have said, like,

The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: I am commanded to fight with men till they testify that there is no god but Allah, and that Muhammad is His servant and His Apostle, face our qiblah (direction of prayer), eat what we slaughter, and pray like us. When they do that, their life and property are unlawful for us except what is due to them. They will have the same rights as the Muslims have, and have the same responsibilities as the Muslims have. (Sunan Abu Dawud, 14:2635)

Hahahah, If they(Bangladeshi) did that, they are not real buddhists! There are not such teachings in Buddhism to treat people of other religions like that. But in Islam there are such teachings!
Allah says in the Quran that unbelievers are worse than animals [Q 24:44]

Well I am not a believer like you are.. So i don;t believe what anti- Islamic web sites say... I rely on facts, the Qu'ran verses, Hadith.... etc...

we are talking about religions and their masters, not what so called 'buddhists' do LOL, If a buddhist man marry a 6 year old kid, he s not a buddhist, since buddhism doesnt allow phedophillia....... But your Muhammad has done it... So its ok for Mulims haha....

If a Buddhist keep slaves, he s not a buddhist, coz slavery isnt allowed in Buddhism, but in Islam its allowed, muslim men can have sex with slave women HAHAHA

You better to talk about relgions and their masters....

Okay you accept what educated people say no? Here are some things written by educated Islam scholars

“Allah said, ‘It is My obligation to make Eve bleed once every month as she made this tree bleed. I must also make Eve stupid, although I created her intelligent.’ Because Allah afflicted Eve, all of the women of this world menstruate and are stupid. Tabari IX:113

Narrated Abu Said Al-Khudri: The Prophet said, "Isn't the witness of a woman equal to half of that of a man?" The women said, "Yes." He said, "This is because of the deficiency of a woman's mind." Sahih Bukhari 3:48:826

Tell me, do you accept these? If so, do you accept that your mother, sister all are stupid?
Do you accept that your own mother worth half of you? You worth twice your mother?

Tell me? Do you accept? :angry:

there is no chapter called Tabari in Quran,you are copying & pasting from anti islam websites who quote bogus Quran versus ...please Quote from Quran..

Narrated Abu Said Al-Khudri: The Prophet said, "Isn't the witness of a woman equal to half of that of a man?" The women said, "Yes." He said, "This is because of the deficiency of a woman's mind." Sahih Bukhari 3:48:826

here deficiency of mind mean lake of understanding, they are mentally weak for eg.when they see some one being killed, they may even misundersatnd the situation due to the fear.they are mentally created so, tht doesnt mean they are stupids.there are some qualities and intelligent in which they r superior to men as well.but not in seeing the crimes.

Tell me, do you accept these? If so, do you accept that your mother, sister all are stupid?
Do you accept that your own mother worth half of you? You worth twice your mother?

Tell me? Do you accept?

if u really need to learn the women rights in Islam , please see the link & question us rather than going to anti islam websites where they are misquoting the Quran & hadith versus,

LMAO...these are hadiths.....most of them are not proven....

like i said Hadiths are a compilation of how Muhammad lived his life taken from different eye witnesses....after the prophet's death....

and in those times there were several hypocrites that even the Quran speaks of Who pretend to be Muslims and try to sabotage Islam...

hence most Hadiths are not accepted to be true....as thee is no way to prove them completely....

that is why Muslims only accept the Quran....as true and only accept hadiths that support what the Quran says.....

both these hadiths have no relation to what is said in the Quran....and most anti-Islam sites love to make up hadiths as well....coz of the same reason....that it cannot be proven....and that most mindless muslims (pre-terrorist phase) would blindly accept them....

quote Buddhism which confirms these kind of actions.

My dear friend, same answer we have given to u while u all mentioned abt muslims are terrorists.no where in quran it is said to kill some one unless some one come to fight u.
earlier I Quoted this only because dilshan kept on posting muslims are terrorist and extremist.otherwise there is no reason why i posted this. none of the scriptures say their followers to kill someone innocently.

the Al-Tabari and Ibn-Ishaq and other sources are extremely doubtful and unauthenticated. Most Muslim scholars today firmly and strongly believe in this. Not that the hadiths above are bad or anything, but as most Muslim Scholars agree, we Muslims can't take them as absolute Truth or accurate information. Much of these volumes are either corrupt or taken out of context. Again, this is according to the Muslims scholars. This is why these volumes are considered "unauthenticated".
http://www.answering-christianity.com/warning.htm
I've written detailed section about women in Islam Vs the Bible, dealing with all of their issues, and proved that women in the Bible (if followed) are humiliated, while women in Islam (if followed properly) are honored:

From www.answering-christianity.com/woman.htm:

"O ye who believe! Ye are forbidden to inherit women against their will. Nor should ye treat them with harshness, that ye may take away part of the dower [money given by the husband to the wife for the marriage contract] ye have given them, except where they have been guilty of open lewdness; on the contrary live with them on a footing of kindness and equity. If ye take a dislike to them it may be that ye dislike a thing, and God brings about through it a great deal of good. (The Noble Quran, 4:19)"

Why do Muslims bury dead bodies instead of cremating them?
