- 14. Islamic view ofIllness In contrast to contemporary views, disease does not always have a negative connotation in Islam. According to the classical Islamic scholar Imam al-Ghazzali, "illness is one of the forms of experience by which man arrives at a knowledge of God.” Other Muslim scholars argue that falling ill may be Allah's way of forcing the person to rest or care for the body before it deteriorates further.

Editor's Notes
- #17 For those who do not have a firm belief in the Hereafter, for them death is a depressing subject, but for the Believer, death is a subject that motivates, because it puts in perspective what life is really about. It basically puts us on the right course if we are not on it. A strong reminder.
- #18 of us, sal Allahu alayhi wa sallam. He said, while dying: None has the right to be worshiped by Allah”(like a way of swearing), “surely, death has its pangs/agonies.”
