COVID-19 has taken 1 million lives as of March 22, 2022. The restrictions and enforced social distancing imposed because of the COVID-19 pandemic adversely affected the way people die, often alone in hospitals without their family members or loved ones by their side. Religious and cultural beliefs predominantly influence every aspect of people's lives, especially during the end of life (EOL). Islam is the fastest growing religion worldwide after Christianity and the third most practiced religion in the United States. The Islamic religion specifies how Muslim practice health and wellness, death, and EOL care. Islamic teachings provide a roadmap on EOL practices and death rituals that must be followed by the practicing individual. Scarce empirical studies exist on practices and rituals of Muslims near death and dying. Therefore, the aim of this case report is to provide a practical framework for health care practitioners to understand essential Islamic EOL practices and provide resources to guide clinical practice.
截至2022年3月22日，新冠疫情已导致100万人死亡。由于新冠疫情大流行而实施的限制措施和强制社交距离，对人们的死亡方式产生了不利影响，人们常常独自在医院离世，身边没有家人或亲人陪伴。宗教和文化信仰在很大程度上影响着人们生活的方方面面，尤其是在生命末期（EOL）。伊斯兰教是全球继基督教之后发展最快的宗教，也是美国第三大宗教。伊斯兰教规定了穆斯林如何践行健康与福祉、死亡以及临终关怀。伊斯兰教教义提供了一份临终实践和死亡仪式的路线图，供信徒遵循。关于穆斯林濒死和临终时的实践与仪式，实证研究稀缺。因此，本病例报告的目的是为医疗保健从业者提供一个实用框架，以了解伊斯兰教基本的临终实践，并提供指导临床实践的资源。
