In Islam, the birth of a child is a profound blessing, accompanied by practices that reflect gratitude, spirituality, and care. Among these practices, placental burial or tanam uri holds a unique significance, deeply rooted in Islamic tradition and respect for the creation of Allah.
This practice is increasingly embraced by Muslim parents in Singapore, not only as a Sunnah but also as an opportunity to honor the miracle of birth.
The Significance of Tanam Uri
The placenta, a vital organ during pregnancy, sustains and nourishes the baby. In Islam, it is treated with respect, acknowledging its role as part of Allah’s divine creation.
By burying the placenta, we practice humility and gratitude, returning it to the earth as a natural and respectful act. This tradition is often seen as a way of recognizing Allah’s blessings and fostering an early spiritual connection for the newborn.
In Singapore, with its urban landscape, performing tanam uri/placenta burial can be a logistical challenge. Many parents find themselves unsure about the proper methods, legalities, and locations. This is where professional services like Alfajr come in, offering convenience and compliance with Islamic principles.
