Yes it is been observed in Islaam also. We muslims celebrate as a remembering day "BARSI". There is a holy month of 'SHABAAN' wherein one night of "Shab-e-Baraat" is there. We muslims performed prayers in this whole night and send all good things of doing to our dead family members and also all muslims earlier dead persons. We also gooes to graveyards and pray for them. We also distribute clothes and put meals to poor persons irrespective of religions what they have in the name of family dead persons and believes that ALMIGHTY will give in return of our good acts, good position to our dead persons in heaven.

hindus perform ceremonies in for their deads everyear by way of remembering them and showing them love and respect . Peo-ple can nt be thnking of the dead daily for the whole of ther life and they have to live on and car for those who are alive .So they perform some special cermonies specifically in favour the dear ones that dies and are not with them any more .
The peopkle of otehr religions also do the same .each one does what hios culture has taught him.The chritians place some flowers on the grvges of the deads and pray for them.it is not known what the Muslims do .I think that they might also be remebering their deads on the day of their death every year.All are not perfoming the same tyoe of cerminy as hteir cultur is not the same .There seems to be nothing good or bad about it.

The ceremony is a way to remember the person who has left an earmarked contribution towards life of the other persons in the family.
Your question is related as to why we celebrate birthdays.
Birthdays and death anniversaries are related to celebration- both of the present and the past.
Other religions do not celebrate death anniversaries as they do not believe in the principles of reincarnation. In Hinduism, reincartation states the person to be living even after the death.
Death is a beginning of a new life and death anniveraries is to pray for the goodness in the life of the faded person in his/ her new lease of life.
Thanks and a very nice question.

Traditional Purpose
Hindus believe in a reincarnation cycle of birth, death and rebirth. Traditionally, when the soul departs the physical body at death, it needs to move to an astral plane to await its next reincarnation. This plane is said to be populated by the three preceding generations of the deceased individual When the newly deceased enters the plane, the oldest preceding generation moves onto their rebirth. Immediately after death, the individual’s soul is believed to linger around its living family and may cause them harm until the shraddha rites are performed, letting the soul move onto the astral plane.

People of non-Hindu religions do not know what happens to them after death.

We can do whatever we may like, but there is no need to feel proud of that.
Anything which is done with humility, howsoever naive it may seem to be, is OK. But humbleness is THE word.
