<![CDATA[The management of the body in Islam is a collective obligation (fardu kifayah) that must be carried out by Muslims. If some Muslims have carried it out, then the obligation is lost from others. However, if no one carries it out, this obligation remains the responsibility of the Muslim community in the environment. This community service activity aims to improve public understanding and skills about the concept of fardu kifayah and the procedures for the handling of the body in Islam which include bathing, shrouding, blaming and burying the body in accordance with Islamic law. The activity was carried out in Sri Pantun Village, Kombeng District, East Kutai Regency, with a participatory approach through counseling, discussion, simulation, and direct practice. Evaluation was carried out through observation of participant involvement, questions and answers, discussions, and practices of organizing the body. The results of the activity showed a positive response and active involvement of the community in following the materials and practices. Participants showed courage and confidence in following the stages of organizing the funeral and increasingly understood that the funeral arrangement is a shared responsibility as part of the obligation of fardu kifayah. This activity shows that educational approaches and direct practice can be a relevant strategy in increasing the capacity of the community in organizing the funeral while strengthening socio-religious awareness at the village level.]]>
