The Cleaning and Beautification of the Cemetery (Arabic=Maqbara) is every muslim's responsibility. We visit there to remind ourselves of our final destination. Allah swt reminds us throughout His Revealtion through Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) that "to Him is our final return". Images shown below are volunteers from Lodi who showed up to clean the place. We also like to remind the people that once a month we cleanup the Cemetery and throw away any thing that is left on the graves. We want to keep the graves simple and beautiful. As Muslims, the Prohet (PBUH) told us not to decorate the graves.
Starting 2024, we will be trimming the trees and setup automatic gate opener. We are excited to introduce technology for Cemetery operations. As normal, the Cemetery will be opened 7 days a week from 7am to dusk. After hours entry will be allowed after our monitoring systems are in place. Please contact the Cemetery Manager on his phone if need assistance.
The safety and security of the visitors and also the resodents of the place, we have installed CCTV Security Cameras in the Cemetery. This will monitor the site 7x24 with video recording. If you have any questions and concerns, please reach out to us via our Cemetery Email.
