The Janazah Companion (Editable Canva Template)

A janazah unfolds quickly. People gather, rows form, and within moments the prayer begins. In that pace, it is not always easy for everyone present to follow along or know what to recite. This template was created to offer something simple and helpful in that moment. It allows you to prepare a small, printed pamphlet that includes a brief obituary, a clear outline of the janazah prayer, and essential duʿāʾs. It gives those in attendance something to hold, read, and participate with—quietly bringing everyone onto the same page. The design is intentionally minimal and respectful, suitable for use in a masjid or at the burial. What the template includes A space for a short obituary or life summary A clear, step-by-step janazah prayer guide A selection of commonly recited duʿāʾs A clean, print-ready layout How it works After purchase, you will receive a link to edit the template in Canva.
