Question:
Salaams,
A friend recently commited suicide. I’m wondering how best to help him. I’ve prayed, and I included him in my recent Qurbani.
My question is: what are the specific things one can do to aid the soul of a person who has died this way?
Thank you
Answer:
Wa alaikum Salaam,
Sorry for your loss. We must believe that Allah’s mercy is bigger than the sins of the children of Adam as and more than an ocean is to a speck of dust. If your love for this person reminds you to pray, recite Quran or do zikr and offer it as a gift of Divine Mercy for them then do so as your heart finds contentment in doing so.
Wa Allahu Alam,
