One of many, the untranslatable Arabic term يقبرني [ya’aburne] refers to one’s wish to die before one’s beloved do. Another similar concept, فناء [fanas] acknowledges the inherently transient nature of existence and the inevitability of crossing over, and, at its core in the context of Islam, the shadow of death is often met with a degree of tranquillity, for it carries the promise of جنّة [Jannah].
