💔 I lost my husband in an accident in Saudi and I need some support

Assalamu alaikum everyone. My name is Zainab and I'm writing this with a heavy heart. I never thought I'd share something so personal in public. But I don't have anyone left to ask. We were a family of six, my husband, me and our 4 children. He worked in Jeddah. He was a gentle, hard working man and the children were his whole world. This past Eid holidays we drove from Jeddah to Dammam to visit my sister. We were all excited. Around 200 km before Dammam, at about 2 am, our car met with an accident on the highway. My husband died on the spot. I still can't believe I'm typing those words. The children and I stayed in hospital for 13 days before they let us go. After that I stayed with my sister in Dammam for about a month. His company and his sponsor helped us a lot. They did all the paperwork and paid his end of service money. Then we came back to India, and my children go to a local school here now. By Allah's mercy we have 2 houses that give us some rent every month. It's not much, but it feeds us. Now there's a new pain. My husband's younger brother and his sister keep coming to my home. They ask me for 5 lakhs out of his end of service money. Sometimes it ends in shouting. I feel frightened when they come. I have no brothers and no parents, so nobody stands beside me. I'm a widow raising 4 children alone, and I want that money to be for their future. I'm not writing to complain about anyone. I just don't know what to do and I feel alone. If any of you have been through something like this, please tell me how you coped. Even kind words help, because the house is very quiet at night after the children sleep. I will read every reply slowly. May Allah bless you all for reading this.

Walekum asallaam, I'm so sorry for your loss, there are no words that can properly capture what you must be going through right now. May Allah give you and your children strength and make this difficult journey a little easier with each passing day. May Allah forgive your husband, grant him Jannatul Firdaus, and fill his grave with Noor. 🤲 Please stay strong for your children's sake. May Allah protect all of you and give you peace and ease. Ameen.

May Allah grant your husband a place in Jannah, and give you and your children the strength and patience to get through this incredibly difficult time. If your in-laws are threatening or harassing you over money after everything you've already been through, the best thing you can do is file a police complaint immediately rather than staying silent out of fear or trying to keep peace with people who clearly aren't thinking about your wellbeing right now.

Keep all the documents related to your husband’s employment, end-of-service settlement, bank transactions, and your children’s expenses safely. If his relatives continue threatening or harassing you, speak to a local lawyer or the police and keep records of every incident. You have already been through something extremely difficult. Your priority now should be the safety and future of your four children. May Allah make things easy for you and protect your family. Ameen.

Thank you so much for your kind words and prayers. It truly means a lot during this difficult time. I will keep all the documents safe and will not give in to any pressure or threats. Your advice to consult a lawyer or police if the harassment continues is very helpful. May Allah reward you for your support and kindness. Ameen.
