For many, religion is not simply a religion. It is a way of life, the motivation behind every action and the reason to exist and to be cheerful. For many, religion is not merely a hobby or something to dedicate a couple of hours to. However, it is a sad fact that no matter what religion a person is, death is impartial and can attack any person at any moment, regardless of race, gender, age or religious inclination. It is also a sad reality that the family who are left behind once someone dear to them has died can feel at a loss of what to do and are left feeling bereft and inconsolable in some instances. It is for this reason that so many Islamic families are inclined to invest in Muslim headstones for their loved ones who have died.
