Salat-e-Janaza (Funeral Prayer) is a special prayer offered for a deceased Muslim before burial. Unlike the daily obligatory prayers, Salat-e-Janaza has no Ruku (bowing) or Sajda (prostration). It is performed in a standing position only, consisting of four Takbeers, recitation of specific supplications (Duas), and Salam at the end.

This prayer is a collective obligation (Fard Kifayah), meaning that if a group of Muslims performs it, the obligation is lifted from the rest of the community. The purpose of Salat-e-Janaza is to seek forgiveness, mercy, and blessings for the deceased, asking Allah (SWT) to grant them ease in the Hereafter.

The absence of Sajda and Ruku in Salat-e-Janaza emphasizes that it is not a regular Salah but a unique form of Dua, meant specifically for the deceased. It demonstrates the Islamic principle of community support, remembrance of death, and praying for fellow Muslims.
