For Those Left Behind

For Those Left Behind: Guidance on Death and Grieving

By Omar Suleiman

Losing a loved one can leave the heart carrying grief, unanswered questions and a deep longing for those who have passed away. For Those Left Behind offers compassionate Islamic guidance for navigating bereavement with patience, understanding and hope in Allah.

Omar Suleiman explores how Muslims can continue to honour and benefit their loved ones beyond the Janazah. The book addresses many of the questions that arise after a death: Where are our loved ones now? Are they aware when we visit them? What deeds and du’as can benefit them? How can we care for ourselves while grieving?

Combining spiritual reflections with practical guidance, the book discusses the Janazah, burial, visiting the grave, beneficial supplications and good deeds performed on behalf of the deceased. It also considers sensitive subjects such as losing a child, offering condolences, widowhood, dreams about the deceased and gradually moving forward after loss.

Written with warmth and clarity, this accessible book is suitable for anyone experiencing bereavement, supporting a grieving friend or family member, or seeking a better understanding of death and mourning from an Islamic perspective.
