Funerals Can Be Happy Sometimes

In Luxor, Egypt, 28 year old Hamdi Hafez al-Nubi suffered a heart attack while working. The hospital officials pronounced him dead and according to Islamic tradition, his grieving family took him home, washed his body and made funeral preparations. A doctor was sent in to sign al-Nubi's death certificate. He realized that al-Nubi's body was warm and he discovered that the deceased man was indeed not deceased. His mommy fainted when the doctor delivered the good news. Wit the doctor's help, both the man and his mother were awakened, and the funeral turned into a celebration.
