Journal 5: Islam and Buddhism

Every religion shared their differences and similarities for the way they handle a funeral. As for Islam and Buddhism the difference between these religions is, in Islam the funeral is only held for about a week or seven days. However, in Buddhism, the funeral will last for forty-nine days.

However, there is also similarity between these two religions. The similarity is that whenever we attend a funeral, we have to respect the dead and the family of the dead. This is because the family just lost a member of their family. Besides that, when we visit them, we will say few good things about the dead and will recite prayer for the dead.
