On March 20, 2011, Egyptians overwhelmingly passed a package of constitutional amendments of which the most important was the drafting of a new Constitution by a new Parliament. The vote followed a Constitutional declaration made by the transitional government headed by the Egyptian military under a body called SCAF i.e. the Supreme Council of the Armed Forces.

That is why one of the greatest advices given by the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) was to: "Be in this life like a stranger or a passerby.". By bearing in mind that one will definitely pass away, we will be at rest because no matter what we do to avoid it, it is inevitable. Accepting this fact will make us nearer to God, because it implies our acceptance and satisfaction of whatever God decrees for us, be it a sad thing or a happy thing. But just as we celebrate the birth of a new baby coming into the world, we grieve over the death of somebody leaving this world. It is the sense of bereavement that brings about sorrow and sadness and…funerals. There is even etiquette for funeral in Islam that includes some manners and principles that we have to pay attention to that help alleviate grieving and let the go peacefully. Funeral etiquette starts from the minute the person is dying. It is very encouraged in Islam to help the dying say the shahada: (there is no god worthy of worship except God and Muhammad is the messenger of God). Saying the shahada before dying will make the deceased enter paradise as said by the Prophet (PBUH). Also, out of respect, we should close the deceased person's eyes and cover him because he has no more control over his body.
