We specialise in providing loving and lasting memorials for people of Islamic faith. Ken Slater Memorials can assist and guide you in choosing the right type of memorial for your loved one. Some Islamic memorial features that we can incorporate in the design of your memorial include:
This type of gravestone is named after the crescent moon, which is a symbol of Islam. The crescent represents the journey of the soul from this world to the next.
This type of gravestone is named after the famous tree from the Quran, and it symbolises the eternal life that awaits the righteous in paradise. The leaves of the tree represent the different levels of heaven, and the fruit represents the rewards that await the righteous in the next life.
This type of gravestone is found in the city of Medina, and it marks the final resting place of the Prophet Muhammad. The tomb is a symbol of respect and reverence for the Prophet, and it is often inscribed with the words "Peace be upon him."
One of the most distinctive features of Islamic gravestones is the dome. This type of gravestone is named after the famous Islamic shrine in Jerusalem, and it features a large, central dome with smaller domes around the edge. The dome symbolises paradise, and the smaller domes represent the different levels of heaven.
The star and crescent is a very common symbol on Islamic gravestones. It is a symbol of the moon and the star, and is often used to represent the afterlife. It symbolises both the journey of the soul and the connection between the deceased and Allah. The star represents the light of guidance, and the crescent represents the journey to the next life.
This type of gravestone is named after the place of worship for Muslim people, and it symbolises the connection between the deceased and Allah. The minarets represent the call to prayer, and the domes represent the different levels of heaven. This type of gravestone is named after the tall, slender towers that are a common feature of mosques. The minaret also symbolises the call to prayer, and the height of the stone represents the connection between the deceased and Allah.
