Mustafa ibn Sina Abu Jamal’s Funeral [IC/READ OP]

[Champagne Socialist Sharifistan]

Furia turns to Bashir. "Pray, but in my religion's way, as you've probably figured out."

“Of course,” Bashir said. He joined Khalid, Ali and the other Muslim family members and guests in the line.
“Allahu Akbar,” said the Imam, raising his hands.
The others followed suit.
He recited in Arabic the opening chapter of the Qur’ân. Then he chose the chapter called “Muhammad” next. When he finished, he bent down and said “Allahu Akbar.”
The Muslims did the same.
They continued praying before finally, on their knees, the Imam turned to the right and left once each saying in Arabic “May peace be with you with the mercy of God” each time. The prayer ended as the others did the same.

The Sharifistanis joined in their prayer including the Amirah, the intelligence officer and all the soldiers.

Next was the supplication, where they prayed for Mustafa to reach heaven, his family to have peace, and that Bashir and Soraya’s children would bring honor to the Abu Jamal family, which made Bashir uncomfortable. They finished, and Bashir nudged at Nic.
“Go up and speak.”

Nicolas goes up. "Good day everyone. I see that we are all here for a purpose."

"Unfortunately, that purpose is to give a final goodbye to one man, Mustafa ibn Sina Abu Jamal."

Crying could be heard from the men’s and women’s sections, though it wasn’t very loud, as to not to disturb the funeral.

"Unfortunately, that purpose is to give a final goodbye to one man, Mustafa ibn Sina Abu Jamal."

"On (Insert date) we lost a good man. A great man. And, as sad as it may seem, we are also here to learn. All of Mustafa's qualities, his bravery, leadership, and knowledge, are passed on, to the people willing to learn from them, be inspired by him."

"Mustafa would be proud, if here were here, to see us learning from him. Let what he started be finished. Mustafa would not want Insaanistan to fall from his loss. Let us continue his legacy. Let the torch be passed on, to those willing, to bring a new era, of peace and stability to Insaanistan. And to Mustafa? May he be in Paradise." Furia bows his head and walks away.

Everyone except Ismail clapped.
“Khadijah’s turn,” Bashir told Khalid.

“Your turn,” Bashir told Khalid.

OOC: Hope that was good. I'm not the best at speech-writing.

[Hoyerlay]

Kristin goes to speak: “Thank you all for coming here to commemorate the late Mustafa ibn Sina, who was killed earlier this month. His death will not be in vein, as he was loved by his people and respected throughout the world. inna lillahi wa inna ilayhi raji'un.”

Her usage of the Islamic phrase impressed the audience members, who not knowing if she was finished or not, clapped anyway.

(OOC: Yeah that was the whole speech. It may come as a surprise with the western sounding names but my nation is Muslim, fun fact.)

[Mosarat]

The Sultan Sultana and Dr. Alton sat listening to the speech. A few tears ran down The Sultana’s face. Through the widowers veil she wore he could see through the holes some tears. She chose specifically not to wear makeup for this occasion because of it. It would soon be time for the Sultan to speak he would let a few others speak.

[Hoyerlay]

(OOC: That’s why I gave them western names. To see the reaction when people discover they’re Muslim.)

Mosarat is a Muslim country but in real life I am a Christian.

Nura hugged the Sultana and tried to console her, though she was crying, too.

(I guess it’s something like that. My IC backstory is that Hoyerlay has been Muslim for over 400 years.)

The Sultana hugged back and consoled Nura. “ I‘ll be alright dear. It’s just a few tears I’m fine.” She said.

[Hopal]

John Leswig had traveled behind the family to the mosque, respecting local customs best he could, but he didn't join in prayer as Hopal was an officially Atheist country and it was expected of government officials that they resemble government messaging. John cried during the speeches being reminded of why they were hear, to remember a remarkable man who had passed on.

Nura hugged the Sultana and tried to console her, though she was crying, too.

The Sultana hugged back and consoled Nura. “ I‘ll be alright dear. It’s just a few years I’m fine.” She said.

“I haven’t really let it sink in until now. He’s gone. He’s gone and not coming back.”
