Advice about a situation?

hi.. something really sad happened to me today.





a good friend of mine's mother passed away this morning. she took her own life. i am pretty upset and i'm wondering what i can do for my friend?! she is with her best friends right now who are comforting her. we are pretty good friends and have known each other for a while, and we are also debate partners, so i know her well. what would be the islamic thing to do or say? i havent seen her yet. i was going to bring her dinner tonight.. since i'm sure she has other things on her mind. what do you suggest?





thank you for all suggestions and help, and please no mean answers.





ps- she is not muslim.Advice about a situation?
Just let her know you're sorry for her loss and that you are there for her if she needs anything.Advice about a situation?
Salam,





I'm really sorry about your situation, the best thing you can do is just be there for her. She needs someone to let her feelings out, so simply listening to her would do wonders.Find ways to get her mind off it, it will be hard defiantly, but make an attempt to do so anyway.
OMG. Like you said bring her dinner. Tell her you're sorry for what happened, but don't talk to much. Just be there with her. When she cries pat her on the back or something.
I am sorry for you and your friends loss. I can't imagine how horrible she must feel. Like others said talk to Allah(swt) about it. She may just want to be alone but if she does check on her frequently!!. ask her if she needs anything from you.
Talk to Allah SWT about it, then follow the ways of Rasool Allah SWT and all those who followed him


Then ask yourself.


Then ask all those you love unconditionally.





Then ask us last.





When you get the answer, then apply it three ways.





In peace with your mouth


In peace with your hands


In peace with your heart.





Then sit down. If they need anything else, they will surely know who they can trust after that.





Salam Alaikum
im sorry
Salam,





may Allah SWT put rest her soul in peace.





well sounds like they're not muslims, so...


...no matter what religion they have, they always have the doubt if Islam is the right religion even if they're not muslims....





so if you tell her you'll pray for her mum that she would be granted heaven, it would make her feel better...





just be nice to her


be there for her


do NOT leave her side


don't let her be alone


do NOT stop her from crying, let her cry.


it may even make her feel better if you cry with her.


tell her her mum is free from this world now


from all the pains


she doesn't have to worry about the things we worry about.


she's in peace now.


let her know, things could have been worst


like people in Gaza


what has happened to them and all


tell her you'll pray to your God (Allah SWT) for her mum.


always be there for her and be around.


give her some water every 10-20-30 min


see if you can even distract her mind to something else.


make her think about something else


change the topic every now and then, but i don't think it would be a good idea to change the topic into something funny








i'm really sorry about this...





May her soul rest in Peace.





good luck sis.
INNA LILLAHI WA INNA ILAYHI RAJIUN

i think you can only feel sorry for her and tell her how sorry you're for the lost. give her your shoulder to cry and hold her hands to show how supportive you are, this really works and it's re-comforting, (my experience) i'm trying to think about anything to tell her but she's not a muslim she wouldn't understand...im blank..ASTAGFURALLAH


Its even harder cause her mum took her own life. Poor girl i can't imagine what she's going through...So sad. I wish her best...


May Allah have mercy on All
well her mother got what she wanted. shes free
