Question : #666

Category: Miscellaneous

Subject:	Saying Rest in Peace
Question:	Can we Muslims say 'Rest in Peace' on hearing the death of people like Steve Jobs?
Answer:	It's every believers obligation to propagate the teachings of Islam through our character and interaction with non-Muslims. Imam Ali has said "...[you] are either a brother in religion/faith, or either my equal in humanity/creation" [Nahjul Balagha, Vol. 3, Letter 53] We should act in a manner to soften the hearts to people through our expression as an acting believer.
