Religious literacy can be beneficial in your role as an end-of-life doula. Join us to explore the meaningful approach to death and dying for followers of the Muslim faith. Whether you are new to understanding the world’s fastest-growing religion or a Muslim practitioner, this webinar will dive into the practices unique to the religion. Discover how the Prophet Muhammad’s teachings allow an approach to thinking about death and grieving. Explore how Islam allows for death awareness–making it part of the living experience by not denying death but encouraging conversation about human mortality. Muslim scholar Zeyneb Sayilgan, Ph.D. from the Institute for Islamic, Christian, and Jewish Studies (ICJS) will share her deep expertise and personal experiences. INELDA educator and hospice nurse navigator, Nzinga El-Mekki Abdullah-Aziz will moderate this conversation, guiding attendees through the end-of-life rituals and customs of the Islamic faith.
