The concept of doing good deeds for a deceased loved one is a precious one in Islam. As well as accruing more blessings and rewards for the person, it is a way of letting the deceased loved one know that they are still loved and guiding those left behind. There can be a ripple effect, too, helping even more people. Malak's father was so beloved and set such a strong example that, even when they are themselves in desperate need, his family are inspired by him to look out for others. The people they help may in turn be inspired to do more good deeds, which accrue even more blessings for him and for everyone.
