I want to take this opportunity and acknowledge the effort and support our family received from Barzakh throughout the years. Barzakh has stood up, financed, organized and were present during times when our beloved father and mother passed away in 2016 and 2020. We will continue to be proud members of Barzakh to support and help other Muslim families losing their loved ones
When my mother passed away, handling burial arrangements was too overwhelming. With Barzakh’s help, they managed to take care of everything that my mother was buried the same day. I was emotionally and financially supported so that I could focus on my final farewell to my mother. Thank you Barzakh for your continuous support, may Allah reward you all
