Testimonials.
“The event as a whole was perfect. From the information, the booklet, the casket in the room, the bag of items, the video, and the grave visit. It was a life changing experience. The most effective part was the grave visit. It taught me a lot. It was a great experience to visit a graveyard as I have never visited one before. I learned the proper etiquette, I made duaa, I felt that feeling that makes you want to change for the better. That part alone gave me what I wanted from the class when it was first brought up.”
“A great experience. This was by far the best class. The speaker was very knowledgeable, the atmosphere of the event was great, and the workbook helped me a lot even for after the class. We wrote a letter to our future self, receiving that in the mail made me realize that I had not made any progress and motivated me to become better moving forward. I revisit the workbook to this day from time to time.”
“The class was great. Truly a powerful journey through the world of death. Vising the graveyard at the end of the seminar was just the topping on the cake. It was my favorite part and just opened my eyes. It was hard for me because a dear family member of mine was buried there just a couple weeks prior to the event.; I learned the dos and donts of visiting the graveyard, and it was done in the most appropriate setting. I am glad that I was able to attend this seminar, it came at a time when I really needed it!”
“The Life Ahead of Them seminar was great experience. I took a lot from the class. It helped me focus on my prayers and helped me become a better Muslim.”
“Life Ahead of Them event was just wanted I needed. Prior to the event, my iman was low and this event helped shake my low iman. It helped me become more conscious of death coming at any age. The video that was played left an impression. My favorite part was the speaker.”
