Readings of funeral prayers
In practice in praying for the dead, there is a lot of reading, namely reading which is a condition or prayer for the dead, in other words, for those who are praying. The recitation of the funeral prayer begins with the recitation of intentions, takbir, prayers and finally greetings. Below is an explanation of the readings:
The intention of the funeral prayer
It starts with discussing the intention of praying the corpse. Like prayer in general, The funeral prayer begins with the intention. For this reason, there is a slight difference between reading the prayer of a man's corpse, recitation of the intention of the funeral prayer of a woman and the recitation of the funeral prayer for children or infants who have died. The following is a reading of the intention for the funeral prayer:
The intention in this prayer has two opinions. The first is spoken while the second is not spoken. Both can be practiced according to your beliefs.
اُصَلِّى عَلٰى هَذَاالْمَيِّتِ اَرْبَعَ تَكْبِرَاتٍ فَرْضَ الْكِفَايَةِ مَأْمُوْمًا ِللهِ تَعَالٰى
(Ushalli ‘ala hadzal mayyiti arba’a takbirotin fardhol kifayati ma’muman lillahi ta’ala)
That means: "I intend to pray over this corpse of four Takbir Fardhu Kifayah as a makmum because of Allah Ta'ala.
- Intention for female funeral prayers
For women's corpses, the reading of his intention is as follows :
اُصَلِّى عَلٰى هَذِهِ الْمَيْتَةِ اَرْبَعَ تَكْبِرَاتٍ فَرْضَ الْكِفَايَةِ مَأْمُوْمًا ِللهِ تَعَالٰى
(Usholli ‘ala hadzihil mayyitati arba’a takbirotin fardhol kifayati ma’amuman lillahi ta’ala)
That means : "I intend to pray over this woman's corpse four times takbir fardhu kifayah as makmum because of Allah Ta'ala.”
- Intention for the funeral prayers of the Children
For the corpses of children, the reading of his intention is as follows :
اُصَلِّى عَلٰى هَذَاالْمَيِّتِ اَرْبَعَ تَكْبِرَاتٍ فَرْضَ الْكِفَايَةِ مَأْمُوْمًا ِللهِ تَعَالٰى
(Usholli ‘ala hadzal mayyiti arba’a takbirotin fardhol kifayati ma’amuman lillahi ta’ala)
That means : "I intend to pray over this corpse four times takbir fardhu kifayah to be makmum because of Allah Ta'ala.”
Note
The above intention is the intention to be read when we become a makmum during the funeral prayer. If our position as priests is in funeral prayer, then the intention of the funeral prayer is the same as usual, but there are words that need to be changed, which is changed in words مأمأوما meaning as makmum changed to إمإاما it means as a priest.
Even, In this matter of intention, there are differences from several Madzhab, some say something should not be said, and there are also those who say that it was spoken. It all comes back to you individually, which you can choose.
Even if you believe that the intention should not only be interpreted as meaning in the heart, that is enough to justify the above intention.
The first takbir then reads the letter of Al-fatihah
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ
الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ
الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيم
مَالِكِ يَوْمِ الدِّينِ
إِيَّاكَ نَعْبُدُ وَإِيَّاكَ نَسْتَعِينُ
اهْدِنَا الصِّرَاطَ الْمُسْتَقِيمَ
صِرَاطَ الَّذِينَ أَنْعَمْتَ عَلَيْهِمْ غَيْرِ الْمَغْضُوبِ عَلَيْهِمْ وَلَا الضَّالِّينَ
(Bismillahirrahmanirrahim. Alhamdulillahi rabbil alamin,
Arrahmaanirrahiim, Maliki yaumiddiin, Iyyaka nabudu waiyyaaka nastaiin, Ishiratalladzina an'amta alaihim ghairil maghduubi alaihim waladhaalin)
That means :
"In the name of God, Most Gracious, Most Merciful".
"All praises be to Allah, God of the universe".
"Most Gracious and Most Merciful".
"Who rules on the Day of Judgment".
“You are the only one we worship, and only to You do we ask for help ".
"Show us the straight path",
“(that is) The path of those whom You have favored; not (Street) those who are angry and not (anyway the road) those who are astray ".

(Allahumma sholli ‘ala muhammad wa ‘ala ali muhammad kama sholaita ‘ala ibrohom wa ‘ala ali ibrohim innaka hamidum majid. Allahumma baarik ‘ala muhammad wa ‘ala ali muhammad kama baarokta ‘ala ibrohim wa ‘ala ibrohom wa ‘ala ali ibrohim innaka hamidum majid)
