Abstract

Islam holds life as sacred and belonging to God and that all creatures will die one day. Suicide is forbidden. Muslims believe death is only a transition between two different lives. The terminally ill Muslim desires to perform five ritual requirements. Do not resuscitate (DNR) orders are acceptable. A deceased Muslim must always be buried after being ritually washed and wrapped. There are different Muslim schools of thought, but they are united regarding their views on death and dying.

摘要

伊斯兰教认为生命是神圣的，属于真主，所有生物终有一死。自杀是被禁止的。穆斯林相信死亡只是两种不同生命之间的过渡。身患绝症的穆斯林希望履行五项宗教仪式要求。“不要复苏”（DNR）医嘱是可以接受的。已故的穆斯林在经过仪式性清洗和包裹后必须始终被埋葬。穆斯林有不同的思想流派，但他们在对死亡和临终的看法上是一致的。
