Where I live has christians and considerable numbers of Muslims.

One time a mad pig from the Christian side dug out a freshly buried corpse and pleasurably had a hearty meal and left skeleton as leftovers.

The Muslim community were shocked to her ancient foundations and utterly discombobulated. One could see them going hysterical and hurling expletives and swore to viciously retaliate... How they wanted to pull that off, yours sincerely don't know.

They struck the drum of war, fanned the embers of trouble and drew their swords for blood.

...

At the end nothing happened. Call it 'initial gra gra" and you're right.

They knew they'd be crushed into bits if they attacked the Christians on such flimsy ground.

The Christians owns the community.

Since then they learned to bury their deceased more deeper. The fear of pigs is the beginning of wisdom.

pls where did this happen??

You are not harming anyone but your own self. Haters of Islam need to understand that Islam is not religion of Arab. It is religion for everyone. When you embraces Islam, you become part of family no matter where you are. I admire that I’m part of that religion who represents every culture and race

It’s good to believe in something. I admire believers from all sides.

I don’t know how it feels believing in the unseen

Religion that promotes vahulens and killings.. Is that not devilish? No body is hating on your religion, but we are only saying what people who practice your religion does. One question I want to ask is.. Why is it that,if your people wants to kill or destroy,they will be chanting alakuba ? I don't know if my spelling on that is correct though,but can you throw more light on that please?

This is complete pseudo-science.
The miasma theory of disease spread has been debunked for more than hundred years.
You cant get a disease from bad smell.
You're welcome

Lets say i agree. U knw bad smell can make someone uncomfortable. I know people who vomits upon smelling somtin bad. Imagine been around the smell of human being on a regular b4 d body finally decomposes. The nauseatic feeling can grow to not just vomiting but possibly diarrhea. Things could spread and get worse. I get ur point but sometimes u know more when u experience it ursef and not people's experience n theory.

I have been there. I can tell u people were uncomfortable thru breathing coz of a body of a person dumped in a dumpster. Some people vomit sef, appetite gone.

HELL fire is a worse punishment for the person if the person was evil, so there would be no need bringing the person back to life to suffer a lesser punishment when a bigger and much more terrible punishment as HELL fire is already awaiting the person.
But if God brought the person back to life for good, then He is mighty and capable of bringing the person out from the grave to the surface.

'' There is a possibility that the casket will be carried away by the moving water if the deceased person is buried more than three feet underground. And if the cemetery is dug a little deeper, there won't be any chance that the casket will be carried away by the water.''

Please reconcile these contradictory postulations.

WHY DEAD BODIES ARE BURIED SIX FEET BELOW THE GROUND

There are some occurrences that are extremely common in our immediate environment, but we tend to accept them as typical. It's likely that the majority of us have been present at funerals and witnessed the process of grave excavation firsthand. As a result of the fact that it is practiced in virtually every country on the planet, some people consider it to be a culture. Have you ever given any thought to the question of why humans are often buried at a depth of six feet below the ground? In the event that you haven't heard them before, I'm going to explain some of the reasons why people are buried beneath a yard of dirt today.


1 It averts the possibility of the casket being carried away by the water.

One of the reasons why individuals are buried underground six feet deep is because of this. There are times when we consistently receive persistently heavy rain, which can lead to soil erosion. There is a possibility that the casket will be carried away by the moving water if the deceased person is buried more than three feet underground. And if the cemetery is dug a little deeper, there won't be any chance that the casket will be carried away by the water.

2 It stops the spread of diseases that are easily contagious.

There are several infectious diseases that pose a significant threat to human health and are capable of being passed from one individual to another. For example coronavirus and pneumonic plaques. Other animals will not be able to unearth the diseased body if it is buried at a depth of six feet below the surface of the ground. This will prevent the disease from spreading to other animals.

3. It eliminates the possibility of the casket being stolen.

This is yet another significant factor that contributes to the practice of burying bodies at a depth of six feet. There are some people in this world who will never leave a grave without taking the casket with them and using it for their own nefarious purposes. If you bury the dead deeper, it will be more difficult for them to access them, which will assist reduce the number of instances of theft.

thank you, I've learn something today
You have learnt absolutely just one thing.
~Which is number two (the disease).

The number one there, carried by water is a joke.
Water can't even move what is buried just one foot below the soil. As little as a grass whose roots are not deep into the Earth water can't move it even when it flood let alone something buried deep as 3feet.

About the theft. Just forgerrit.... That happens a lot. A reoccurring decimal if you ask me.

Re: Why Dead Bodies Are Buried Six Feet Under The Ground by HenryWilliams(m): 10:51am On Aug 30, 2022
It's purely for disease control.. before the dark ages.. bodies of poor people were buried in shallow graves (less than 3ft) while rich people were placed in caskets and buried in mausoleum.
It was the bubonic Plague (Black Death) that hit Asia and Europe in the Middle Ages that forced people to start burying dead bodies deeper.. or far away from human populace. That's how cemeteries came to be
