Islam teaches us to broaden our perspective and look to the world as it really is. It directs our energy to our essence; and instead of obsessing over shallow images of our ego and material glamour, it teaches us to develop an inner fulfillment in coming to terms with our mortality and the inevitable return to our original Source. Islam asks us to be humble before God and submit to the Truth, willingly, while we still respire, so that we are better prepared for death whenever it arrives to snatch our last breath. Islam asks us to put our arrogance aside and recognize that though we are capable of many things, we are helpless before the Divine and completely depend of Him for every moment of our existence. With that recognition we become truly conscious and align ourselves to His will in life and in death, we return to Him in a state of peace and acceptance. We say: “To Allah we belong, and to Him is our return” Quran 2:156
