I agree with your thoughts, but it's not that we're the ones hoping for a tradition. Rather, family and close relatives deliberately prioritize someone's death as a form of respect and validation that someone "ever lived" and socialized with other humans during their lifetime. because, a person's name never dies like a physical death.

Yes, some groups in society still question and oppose this tradition because they consider it unimportant and not recommended by religious (Islamic) teachings. I personally still find it difficult to interpret the meaning of death traditions other than adhering to "tazkirah," meaning seeing death as a reminder of humanity's final destiny.

Thank you @weisser-rabe for taking the time to respond to this simple post. 🙏
