The dying | November 11, 2004

Visiting the sick is a basic duty one Muslim has for another, and is not reserved only for close friends and family. Consequently, the Muslim patient will often have many visitors. For the Muslim, visiting a sick brother or sister in faith is a basic form of worship to bring one closer to God. For the Muslim, the whole of this life constitutes a trial and a test for the human by means of which his final destiny is determined. For him, death is the return of the soul to its Creator, God, and the inevitability of death and the Hereafter is never far from his consciousness. This serves to keep all of his life and deeds in perspective as he tries to live in preparedness for what is to come.
