🏵️🏵️🏵️ Your year-long Buddhist-informed training, Patricia, which focuses on exploring beliefs, attitudes, and acceptance of death as a universal eventuality, resonates with the teachings of Islam.

The Quran and the sayings of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) provide guidance and wisdom on the subjects of meditation, self-reflection, and preparing for the inevitable end of life.

In the Holy Quran, Surah Al-A'raf (7:179) states, "And We have already created man and know what his soul whispers to him, and We are closer to him than [his] life-vein."

This verse underscores the importance of self-reflection and being mindful of our inner thoughts and feelings.

Similarly, the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said, "The most beloved of actions to Allah are those that are continuous, even if they are few in number." (Sahih Muslim)

This hadith encourages consistency in spiritual and self-improvement practices, such as meditation and contemplation.

Islam also teaches that death is a natural part of life and encourages believers to prepare for it by living a righteous life and focusing on their relationship with Allah.

In Surah Al-An'am (6:68), it is mentioned, "And We have created you averse to [most] bodies, but made the faces of some inclined to laughter and the faces of some weeping."

This verse serves as a reminder of the transient nature of life and the inevitability of death.

In the end, the Islamic perspective aligns with the objectives of your year-long training, emphasizing the significance of meditation, self-reflection, and preparing for death.

By engaging in these practices, you can strengthen your spiritual connection and lead a more meaningful life, in accordance with the teachings of Islam.🏵️🏵️🏵️
