🏵️🏵️ Elspeth, your exploration of creating a "death book" speaks to the universal need for reflection on life and mortality. In Islam, the concept of death is a transition, reminding us that our time in this world is finite. The Quran says, "Every soul will taste death, and you will only be given your full compensation on the Day of Resurrection." (Quran 3:185). Writing a death book can serve as a valuable tool to prepare for the hereafter and to maintain accountability for our deeds. The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) encouraged the remembrance of death, stating, "Increase the remembrance of that which destroys all desires – Death."

Your ideas spark a meaningful conversation about embracing our mortality and living intentionally. Elspeth, how do you see this practice influencing the way we cherish our lives? 🌺🌹, Mohamed, Ph.D
