Introduction

Literasi rukti jenazah: membangun kesadaran kolektif masyarakat desa wani 2 kecamatan tanantovea.. Pelatihan literasi rukti jenazah di Desa Wani 2 tingkatkan pengetahuan & keterampilan masyarakat dalam merawat jenazah sesuai syariat Islam. Atasi keterbatasan pemahaman fardhu kifayah.

Abstract

Death is an inevitable reality of life. In Islam, the process of taking care of a corpse (rukti corpse) is fardhu kifayah, a collective obligation that is terminated if it has been carried out by some of the congregation. This service examines the community's awareness and skills in carrying out corpse rukti. The partners for this service are the people of Wani 2 Village, Tanantovea District, Donggala Regency. Even though the majority are Muslims, the local community's knowledge and skills regarding this process are still very limited. This creates challenges in carrying out these fardhu kifayah obligations adequately, especially during emergency situations or consecutive deaths. The methodology used in this service includes material presentation, practical simulations, and evaluation. The results of the service showed that the training held had increased the participants' knowledge and skills in the process of washing, shrouding, praying, and burying bodies according to Islamic law. This study recommends the need for permanent institutions for training in corpse rukti as well as the active involvement of all members of society, not just religious teachers and sharia officials, to increase their understanding and ability to care for corpses, in line with humans' position as caliphs on earth that does not end with physical death.

Review

This service report, "Literasi Rukti Jenazah: Membangun Kesadaran Kolektif Masyarakat Desa Wani 2 Kecamatan Tanantovea," addresses a critical and often overlooked aspect of Islamic communal life: the collective obligation (fardhu kifayah) of proper corpse care. The authors effectively identify a significant gap in knowledge and practical skills among the Muslim majority population of Wani 2 Village, highlighting the challenges this presents, especially during emergencies or consecutive deaths. The intervention, employing material presentation, practical simulations, and evaluation, commendably demonstrated a clear success in enhancing participants' understanding and abilities in the intricate processes of washing, shrouding, praying over, and burying bodies according to Islamic law. The paper's focus on practical community service and immediate impact directly addresses a vital local need. While the abstract clearly outlines the intervention's methodology and its immediate positive results, it could benefit from a more detailed exposition of the evaluation methods employed. Clarifying the nature of the evaluation (e.g., pre/post-tests, observational assessments, qualitative feedback) would strengthen the claims of increased knowledge and skills. Furthermore, a deeper exploration into the root causes of the previously limited knowledge and skills within the community – beyond simply stating its existence – would add valuable contextual depth. Understanding whether this stems from lack of access to traditional knowledge, generational gaps, or specific cultural practices could inform more targeted and sustainable future interventions. The abstract, while concise, also leaves some questions regarding the long-term sustainability mechanisms of the observed improvements. Overall, this service report presents a highly relevant and impactful community engagement initiative. It successfully identifies a critical need within Desa Wani 2 and provides a practical, effective solution that demonstrably improved community capabilities in a sensitive and essential religious obligation. The recommendations for establishing permanent training institutions and broadening societal involvement are logical and essential for sustained impact, moving beyond reactive interventions to proactive community empowerment. This work serves as a valuable model for similar community-based literacy programs concerning religious and social responsibilities, and future publications stemming from this work could further elaborate on long-term monitoring and more robust analysis of the specific evaluation metrics.
