The Janazah prayer is a communal prayer said standing, without bowing or prostration — four takbirs during which you praise Allah, send blessings on the Prophet ﷺ, and make sincere dua for the deceased. It rests on the believer's response to loss and the prayer for those who came before.
“Who, when disaster strikes them, say, "Indeed we belong to Allah, and indeed to Him we will return."”— 2:156 (Saheeh International)
“...Our Lord, forgive us and our brothers who preceded us in faith and put not in our hearts [any] resentment toward those who have believed. Our Lord, indeed You are Kind and Merciful.”— 59:10 (Saheeh International)
