Death Doulas in Islam

Mariam Ardati is a death doula and funeral director based in Sydney, Australia, walking Muslim families and their dying loved ones to their final destination for 17 years. Find out how a near death experience led her to transform her life, career, and helped her lead a true life of service as a doula during the most trying times of people’s lives.If your idea of doulas is pretty set, this is a must listen! Mariam has been doing this for a VERY long time and has some valuable insights for anyone who wants to know how the end of life looks for us. The trends she notes in Muslim families are sadly familiar and also beautifully near to our hearts. We all have something to learn at her feet. Tune in at 6pm EST on Apple podcasts, Amazon Music, or land on our website, and don’t forget to share the link with a loved one after listening. Links:Chaplain Mariam Ardati’s Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sakina_funerals/?hl=en Mariam’s Death cafes: https://deathcafe.com/deathcafe/11863/ Find a death doula stateside or learn how to train to be one: https://deathdoulas.com/deathdouladirectory Learn essential Islamic rulings related to end-of-life careYaqeen Institute’s Coping with Grief: A Spiritual and Psychological GuideThe Soul by Imam Ibn Qayyim al-JawziyahOn Remembering Death Imam Ibn Rajab Al-HanbaliLife in Al-Barzakh (the Inevitable Journey) by Muhammad Al-JibalyDid you know you can send us a text?
