Baca "women lamentation's and death rituals in early Islam". Sebuah paper presentation Nadia di OSU pada 2015. (link).
This paper analyzes the ways in which Mourning rituals served as markers
in the articulation of religious identities and the evolving conceptions
of Islam in its early centuries. The excessiveness of the pre-Islamic
female lamenters would be contrasted to the controlled, quietist
attitude, which the women of the new faith were to follow upon the death
of their loved ones. One of the paper’s main conclusions is that
women’s roles in death rituals were critical in providing new normative
guidelines, which were to be contrasted with pre-Islamic practices; and
that their personality and participation in death rituals during this
pivotal era served as markers for religious and ideological shifts
constitutive of the period.
