My friend’s mom recently passed away and I had no words to console her. How should we offer condolences to the family of the deceased?
The Prophet (sa) said: “No believer consoles his brother at the time of calamity but that Allah, glory be to him, will dress him with noble garments on the Day of Resurrection.” (Ibn Majah)
