Deceased husband

02 Feb 2023 Ref-No#: 4610

Assalamu alaykum
I am a recently widowed woman. I am from the uk, got married 2 years ago in my mother land bangladesh. My husband had the basic understanding of islam but it was mixed with culture. Where he lived islam isn’t taught well or it has not spread that far… Hes always tried to keep up with prayer and do good and keep up with the bare minimal. My husband has committed suicide 2 weeks ago. May Allah forgive him ameen Allah knows best what will happen to him…. First question is what can I do for him to be forgiven, What can I do for my husband for Allah to have mercy on him? He was mentally pushed to suicide as he had alot of family problems.
Second is if a husband committed suicide will husband and wife still be reunited in jannah?
Third is if i try my best to be a good practicing muslim and allah is pleased with me insha’Allah and allows me to enter jannah can a wife take her husband to jannah. Will she remember him in jannah?

Answer

Wa’alaykum as Salām wa raḥmatullāhi wa barakātuhu,

We are sorry to hear about your husband. May Allāh Ta’ālā forgive him.

  • You should do the following:
  1. Implore Allāh to forgive him. Allāh is the most merciful.
  2. Contribute water (donate to a well/borehole) on his behalf
  3. Sponsor students who will study ‘Ilm and pass the reward on to him.
  • Allāh Ta’ālā can unite you with him in paradise.
  • Do good actions for yourself and pass on reward for him in this world. In shā Allāh, you both will enter paradise.
