No believer consoles his fellow brother except Allah SWT will adorn him from the garments of honour on the day of standing (Sunan Ibn Majah).

At Muslim Bereavement, we understand the deep sorrow of losing a loved one.

We’ve made this website as comprehensive as possible. The links at the bottom of the page will take you to your specific topic of interest.
Keep in mind –
This website may not cover every scenario, as practices can differ across the country. Where possible, we’ve included location-specific guidance to help you navigate these differences.
Most stakeholders involved in the bereavement process are compassionate and go above and beyond to assist. Registrars have delayed their breaks to complete urgent registrations, and Coroner’s officers have worked late into the evening or over the weekend to help release a body promptly.
However, delays and challenges can still arise, and gaps in services—particularly out-of-hours provision—remain an issue. We encourage community leaders, mosques, and local authorities to collaborate constructively to address these gaps.

Obtaining a death certificate is essential for legal and administrative purposes. At Muslim Bereavement, we guide you through the process with clear steps. Contact the local registry office, provide necessary documents, and follow the official procedure. Our resources ensure you receive the certificate smoothly, helping you manage affairs with ease during this difficult time.
Prepare essential documents like a will and healthcare directives, and discuss end-of-life wishes with loved ones to avoid future uncertainty. Prioritize emotional well-being, strengthen relationships, and engage in spiritual practices for a fulfilling life.
Facing the final stages of illness can be deeply emotional and challenging. Explore practical ways to help you navigate decisions and arrangements with clarity and care.
Handle legal tasks, including death certificates and estate management, while arranging a meaningful farewell. Support the grieving process through counseling, community, or spiritual guidance, and honor the deceased’s legacy.
