<![CDATA[The management of deceased bodies is a collective obligation (fardhu kifayah) for Muslims that must be carried out in accordance with Islamic teachings. However, in Nagari Tanjung Alai, Solok Regency, there is a shortage of individuals capable of conducting proper funeral management. To address this issue, a community service program was implemented by students participating in the Kuliah Kerja Nyata (Kukerta) program from the Solok Nan Indah Islamic College. The program aimed to provide training and guidance for the youth within the Nagari Tanjung Alai community and received full support from local residents. The implementation of the program was conducted in two stages: the delivery of theoretical materials and direct practical training, which included procedures for bathing the deceased, shrouding the body, and performing the funeral prayer (shalat jenazah). The methodological framework applied was the Asset-Based Community Development (ABCD) approach, a community empowerment strategy that focuses on utilizing and developing the potential and assets already existing within the community to enhance independence and social welfare. This approach was integrated with participatory learning activities involving both theoretical understanding and hands-on practice. The results of the program demonstrated an improvement in the youths’ understanding and skills in conducting funeral management in accordance with Islamic teachings. The trained youths are expected to take responsibility for organizing funeral rites in Nagari Tanjung Alai and to disseminate knowledge regarding funeral management to their peers, friends, and future generations. Overall, this program had a positive impact on increasing Islamic religious knowledge related to funeral management within the community, while also strengthening Ukhuwah Islamiyah, namely the bonds of brotherhood among Muslims based on faith in Allah SWT.]]>
