After Death, Life! Thoughts to alleviate the grief of all Muslims facing death and bereavement

Synopsis

Back of book--Death is a highly traumatic business, both for those who are dying, and for those who are caring for them. There are so many fears, so many questions, so many worries about coping after the death has taken place. This book is written primarily for those who have lost loved ones and are struggling with bereavement and coming to terms with that loss. Muslims accept the existence of life after death as a part of their faith. When faced with the fact of death, it naturally becomes a prime concern, and colours the way the dying person and the bereaved think and act. This book offers practical advice, not only on Islamic attitudes to the dying, and the correct procedures of burial according to the Sunnah or the Prophet, but also much to console and strengthen the bereaved, to help them though this sad but inevitable experience. Ruqaiyyah Waris Maqsood, a teacher and writer, was Head of Religious Studies at various schools in England. She took her honours degree as a Christian theologian at Hull University, in 1963. After extensive travels in the Middle East, she embraced Islam. Among her twenty books on many aspects of religion she has written the much acclaimed Teach Yourself Islam and The Muslim Marriage Guide.
