Our Purpose
Cemetery significant purpose derives from its formal capacity to evoke or establish memory of death, to remind the living of reminder to manifest that this world is not our home. Devaluation of all things accentuating the temporal life is the starting point for a Muslim, embracing that the life of the body is not a real life, and the negation of this life is the beginning rather than the end.
Our Vision & Mission
Provide an exclusive burial place for Muslim community in accordance with Quran and Sunnah. Ensure local Muslim community has their own full service cemetery facilitating full burial rites by protecting, maintaining, preserving & sustaining the cemetery.
