Prayers For Loved Ones During Ramadhan
By Rosli Abidin Yahya

Bandar Seri Begawan - Many Muslims made full use of Friday - a holiday for all government departments and schools-by taking their families to the cemetery to offer prayers to relatives who had passed away.

Families would often do this during the holy month of Ramadhan or on the first day of Aidil Fitri, Among the prayers that would be recited are "Surah Yaasin", "Tahlil" and "Doa Arwah". These prayers would normally be ledby a family member with a religious background.

Before leaving the cemetery, each family member will take turns pouring scented water "Aing Asah-Asahan" over the tombstones. -- Courtesy of Borneo Bulletin
