in mourning
Explanation:
refers to Muslim burial rites and custom - mourning, ablutions, shrouding, etc. - the community is in mourning -


تلحيد = Tlhaid (Google translation) - this would be a possible transliteration of your term, due to the particular morphology of semitic languages - triconsonantal root system with long vowels written, but short vowels not written - there is quite a bit of leeway for interpreting the vowelling of the root words. It would pay to be an advanced speaker of several Arabic dialects to zero in on this. Google translations provides this transliteration of your source term - the translations leave much human editing to be desired though.

Islamic Funeral Rites
Care for the dying, funeral prayers, burial, and mourning

...

Washing and Shrouding

In preparation for burial, the family or other members of the community will wash and shroud the body. (If the deceased was killed as a martyr, this step is not performed; martyrs are buried in the clothes they died in.) The deceased will be washed respectfully, with clean and scented water, in a manner similar to how Muslims make ablutions for prayer. The body will then be wrapped in sheets of clean, white cloth (called the kafan).

Funeral Prayers

The deceased is then transported to the site of the funeral prayers (salat-l-janazah). These prayers are commonly held outdoors, in a courtyard or public square, not inside the mosque. The community gathers, and the imam (prayer leader) stands in front of the deceased, facing away from the worshippers. The funeral prayer is similar in structure to the five daily prayers, with a few variations. (For example, there is no bowing or prostration, and the entire prayer is said silently but for a few words.)

Burial

The deceased is then taken to the cemetery for burial (al-dafin). While all members of the community attend the funeral prayers, only the men of the community accompany the body to the gravesite. It is preferred for a Muslim to be buried where he or she died, and not be transported to another location or country (which may cause delays or require embalming the body).

...

More Information

A complete discussion of death and burial rites in Islam is given in the Authentic, Step-by-Step, Illustrated Janazah Guide by brother Mohamed Siala, published by IANA. This guide discusses all aspects of a proper Islamic burial: what to do when a Muslim dies, details of how to wash and shroud the deceased, how to perform the funeral prayers and the burial. This guide also dispels many myths and cultural traditions that are not based in Islam.

If available, a cemetery (or section of one) set aside for Muslims is preferred. The deceased is laid in the grave (without a coffin if permitted by local law) on his or her right side, facing Mecca. At the gravesite, it is discouraged for people to erect tombstones, elaborate markers, or put flowers or other momentos. Rather, one should humbly remember Allah and His mercy, and pray for the deceased.


----

According to this last the prayers are held by preference outdoors - "These prayers are commonly held outdoors, in a courtyard or public square, not inside the mosque. The community gathers, and the imam (prayer leader) stands in front of the deceased, facing away from the worshippers."

-- So, I believe the community is in mourning, not necessarily in the mosque itself, but in a common space outside. - I'll have to check on something here, but that is my belief of first impression.

توحيد = Tawheed = Monotheism

Tawheed
monotheism; affirmation of the Oneness of God. Muslims regard this as the first part of the Pillar of Islam, the second part is accepting Muhammad as Messenger. The opposite of Tawheed is shirk --> Shirk - idolatry; polytheism; the sin of believing in any divinity except Allah and of associating other gods with Allah.

Reference: telhid ili tevhid?

Reference information:
Da nije stamparska greska ? Meni prije lici na tevhid, ako se radi o bosanskom jeziku. (Pitanje je bilo na prozu prije nekoliko dana). U tom slucaju najblize znacenje bi bilo "mourning prayer" .
Abdulah Skaljic u Turcizmi u spskohrvatskom jeziku ovako to prevodi: Muslimanski pomen za mrtve koji se sastoji u grupnom ucenju poboznih izreka i molitava.
Obicno se uci u kuci umrle osobe na dan sahrane, na sedminu, cetrdesetinu, na pola godine ili godinu.

Obratite paznju, medjutim, i na drugo znacenje.
Prema istom izvoru, tevhid moze biti i : grupno dervisko ucenje poboznih izreka koje se vrsi sjedeci u krugu.

Asker: U neposrednom izvorniku ipak stoji "telhid", ali obzirom na - kako bi to rekao - narav "praizvornika" (koji mi nije dostupan), ne moze se iskljuciti mogucnost greske u prepisivanju.
