Delaney, thank you for sharing your insights on the human experience of beginnings and endings. 🏵️🏵️🏵️

As Muslims, we believe that every beginning and ending is a reminder of Allah's infinite wisdom and power. In the Quran, Allah says, "And We have already created man from an extract of clay." (Quran 15:28) This verse highlights the beginning of human creation, and reminds us that our existence is a gift from Allah.

Similarly, the end of life is also a reminder of Allah's sovereignty. As the Prophet Muhammad said, "Death is a blessing from Allah, and whoever is pleased with it will be granted his reward from Allah." (Bukhari)

In Islam, we recognize that every beginning and ending is a test from Allah, an opportunity to demonstrate our faith and trust in Him. As you said, Delaney, the transition between beginnings and endings can be transformative. In Islam, this transition is often referred to as the "barzakh," where we are tested to see if we have been true to our faith.

So, Delaney, I encourage you to continue exploring the mysteries of beginnings and endings, knowing that every moment is a gift from Allah. May you find peace and guidance in your journey.
