Truth:

Both traditions have detailed funeral practices. In Islam, the deceased is washed (Ghusl), wrapped in white cloth (Kafan), and buried facing Mecca. Funeral prayers (Janazah) are performed, and the body is buried as soon as possible. In Hinduism, the body is cremated, and various rituals (Antyeshti) are performed. Both traditions: 1) Treat the body with respect, 2) Perform specific rituals, 3) Pray for the deceased, 4) Have mourning periods, 5) Believe in life after death. The Quran states: "Every soul will taste death" (3:185). Hindu scriptures describe the journey of the soul after death. Both view death as a transition, not an end, and perform rites to help the soul's journey. Both traditions emphasize treating the deceased with dignity and respect.
