🕌 Worship in the home · #130

I find it hard to accept my husband's sudden death. How do I make peace with this decree?

Making peace with the decree does not mean you are not sad; it means you trust that Allah's wisdom goes beyond what you can see now. Grief is a sign of love, not a sign of weak faith, and it eases with time and supplication. Allah promises good news for those who are patient: “give glad tidings to those who are patient” (Surah al-Baqarah 2:155). Pour out your longing and sadness to Allah instead of holding them in. Continue the deeds whose reward reaches the deceased, such as charity and supplication. Give yourself time; grief is not a journey that can be rushed. See widow.
