What happens in the moments after we leave this world? What does it truly mean to return to our Creator? In this episode, we take you on a journey through the unseen reality of death—not the supernatural unknown, but the inevitable path every soul will take. We sit with someone who prepares bodies for burial, uncovering the sacred and intimate process of washing, shrouding, and saying farewell. Through reflection and deep conversation, we explore what it means to die, what it means to be remembered, and what awaits us beyond this life. This is more than an episode—it’s a reminder. La ilaha illah Allah. Because at the end of it all, that’s what remains. SPONSORS: _ This episode is brought to you by REEF Perfumes! Good news—REEF Perfumes is now in North America!
