Showing We Care!

Death is inevitable. When a loved one dies and if you are the next of kin to plan or carry out the funeral and burial arrangements, the process can become overwhelming. The TARIC Islamic Centre will do everything to assist you in making the process as seamless as possible, in shaa Allaah.

For death pronouncement at home, please call 9-1-1 immediately or the family doctor of the deceased. 

Ta’zia (time for offering condolences to the family – wake) and post burial family gathering can be accommodated at TARIC. 

The funeral can be conducted at TARIC and the janaaza salaah will be led by the Imam. If the deceased left instructions that a specific person should lead the janaaza salaah, that person will discuss with the Imam. The Prophet ﷺ said, “…No man should lead another man in prayer, nor sit in the honored place in his home, unless he has his permission.” Sahih Muslim

Currently, TARIC collaborates with other Mosques in the Greater Toronto Area (GTA) to provide mortuary service, washing and shrouding of the body, and providing a wooden coffin as per Ontario Provincial Laws. 

Mosques which provide complete funeral services will have teams of male and female volunteers for the washing and shrouding of the body, however, additional help may be needed. The additional helpers must be Muslims and preferably close relatives or close friends of the deceased.

For all funeral coordination services at TARIC, please contact: 

Mr. Fareed Mohammed J. Ali – 647-895-6223

Mr. Kassim Mohammed – 416 451 8092
