Allah reminds us and shows us signs with the loss of a loved one to show that everything in this world is just temporary. Losing a loved one is a devastating moment, especially for the family and close friends.
“Indeed, it is We who bring the dead to life and record what they have put forth and what they left behind, and all things We have accounted for in a clear register.” Qur’an 36:12
Doing an appeal in memory of your loved one is to offer charity or sadaqa on their behalf. Also, take note that by doing such charitable acts you will also gain rewards. Many people like to express grief after a loss and to do something meaningful.
If you want to help a family or a friend who has lost someone you can create a fundraising page for them. Some things to consider before your start:
- Find out what they need most
- Include inspirational stories and the circumstances and why it is important to support
- Describe your relationship to this appeal and how you know them
