The death of loved ones is a painful reality; patience and remembering their good deeds can assist in finding peace.
Coping with the death of loved ones is one of the hardest and most painful experiences in life. In the Holy Quran, Surah Al-Baqarah, verse 156 hints at the necessity of patience in the face of trials: "...and you will surely hear from those who were given the Scripture before you and from those who associate others with Allah much abuse..." Allah advises believers to be patient and to trust in Him. This divine counsel aids us in dealing with the pain and sorrow following the death of our loved ones. Additionally, in Surah Al-Imran, verse 185, it states: "Every soul will taste death..." which emphasizes that all humans will inevitably face death, and this is an integral part of life. In light of this reality, we can find solace by remembering the good lives of our loved ones, making prayers for them, and performing good deeds in their name. Moreover, social connections and support from family and friends can also aid us. Discussing our feelings and grief and participating in memorial gatherings can help us feel that we are not alone and that others are there to support us during these challenging times.
It is they who will be upon [right] guidance from their Lord and it is they who are the successful.
Every soul will taste death. And you will only be given your [full] compensation on the Day of Resurrection.
Once upon a time, a young man named Sajjad was grieving the loss of his father. He didn’t know how to cope with this great sorrow. He went to the mosque and, alongside his friends, began to pray and recall the sweet memories of his father. This companionship and speaking about his feelings brought him comfort, and he realized that no matter how much time passes, the memory and love for his father would always remain in his heart.
