The ongoing question for me is how to practice mindfulness, proved by so much research to be effective in helping alleviate stress, addiction, and disease of all kinds, as a Muslim. Surah Az Zumar has one part of it, mindfulness of the life to come. This is consistent with my Quran teacher's instruction that mindfulness of the grave is an important part of piety.
Surah Zumar 39:9
| Asad | : | Or [dost thou deem thyself equal to] one who devoutly worships [God] throughout the night, prostrating himself or standing [in prayer], ever mindful of the life to come, and hoping for his Sustainer's grace?" 15 Say: "Can they who know and they who do not know be deemed equal?" [But] only they who are endowed with insight keep this in mind! |
