In Ramadan, you can visit a Muslim cemetery to reflect on Akhirah, the afterlife. Visiting the graves helps you remember that Dunya, or the earthly life is temporary, and you must dedicate your existence to the eternal afterlife.

Cemeteries evoke positive emotions by executing good design choices. Good cemetery design generates calmness, makes room for personal reflection, and creates private spaces for lamenting and grieving. Cemeteries also have well-designed spaces where communities can come together and grieve or commemorate their loved ones together.

After losing a loved one, you will deny they are gone. You will feel angry, lose yourself in ‘what ifs’ and become depressed. Eventually, you will move on and accept their absence. But if you accept the loss, stay grounded, seek help, and try to honour your loved one, you will heal faster.

As Muslims consider their connection to their earthly lives temporary, the faster they are buried after death, the better. Burial starts a Muslim's journey into the afterlife and begins their judgment, which is a crucial factor. Swift Muslim burials also prevent diseases from spreading and allow their families and friends to move on.

Research shows that good cemetery design and planning create a tranquil atmosphere that helps people with their grieving. Good cemetery design creates an atmosphere that takes from local culture, customs, and nature, soothing the souls of the grieving and visitors alike. An intelligent approach to design can provide additional benefits such as operational efficiency, better space management, and more.

Cemetery design is the plan that decides which elements are placed based on the user needs, land layouts and other factors. A good cemetery design concept is developed from a collection of intelligent choices on form and volume, space usage, view, site physical features, circulation and other considerations. When developing a design for a cemetery, its users and their needs come first, followed by consideration of land elements and local culture.
