Muslims...A problem that affects you.?

Question

Assuming 100 muslims live on a tiny island with no way out. The island can only accommodate 100 people comfortably. In 50 years, the population ballooned to 5,000 muslims.

Of course, the older ones died (eg. 5,00). Now, how will these muslims be buried?

Horizontally and stacked on top of each other, because there’s not enough space

Vertically and squeezed side by side.

OR

Cremated

Thrown into the ocean.

As a muslim following Islam what are the solutions possible. This is a real problem because muslims are outgrowing their lands. And we have to assume that one day we will be barred from entry into infidel lands because of our bad reputation.

What do you suggest? Did allah forsee this problem when it started islam?

Answer 1

at that time (UTOPIAN) let us make multi storied grave yard.

we already have multistoried residence and office buildings.

Can ths solve the problem you afraid?

Answer 2

I think by the time we will have to crement Quyamat will have already happened. We don't really need to worry about this since it's gonna happen soon, in this century...

Answer 3

Salam for you my dear sisterThere is no problem at all although in line with Islam the dead body can nor be thrown into the sea(ocean) or be cremated.It should be burried in the soil because we come from Allah made of soil and we will go back to Allah  and become into soil again.

The dead body can be burried in the same grave if the first one had at least 3 years ago where its remnant just only bones.In line vwith hadits of Muhammad pbuh,the grave can not be covered with wax or cement and it should be no building above the grave. so it can be reused by others.

Answer 4

Hi..... You born for human family ?

Answer 5

I am sure you are a non Muslim in the guise of a Muslimah.

Allah SWT takes good care of this world. He keeps a tab on population. When the population exceeds the optimum level, there are epidemicss,catastrophes and wars and the world population recedes back to the tolerable limit.

It is only non believers who think they are running the show and hence they insist on family planning.

Answer 6

Some people are a problem  even after death. They hog valuble land. Price of land at this rate will shoot up in Muslim lands.

Answer 7

Can you name all these tiny islands that the Muslims are living on and then we will get an answer for you.

Answer 8

First off all, cremation is not allowed in Islam, and if there was little space...then maybe all the bodies have to just be squeezed together, but not stacked.

Answer 9

That's why it's one of the signs of the Day of judgment that on the Day of Judgment there will be 70 dead taken out alive out of one grave and we see this thing of stacking up the coffins into one grave in Pakistan and elsewhere.

But honestly ur question makes no sense, cuz muslims can never have a limited land to live on. Allah Is Merciful!  

Answer 10

First thing, Island with no way out?? Whats the meaning of that??? I suppose Islands have EVERY way out.

Moreover, in Islam there is a rule and way to fill and re-fill graveyards. The term, I think, is 50 years after which the older graves can be levelled and fresh ones dug!!! Islam has ways to tackle all problems.
