Ali-Musa Jaffer! A first year medical student, a thoughtful and sincere Muslim with a profound depth of faith. His responses to the four prompts are incredible, with applications to everyday life, no matter your faith or belief. This episode is a member of the Dirty Dozen, the gestational interviews that have shaped this podcast into the current iteration of On Death. I hope you enjoy!
SHOWNOTES
Ali is…
a human being searching for the truth,
struggling,
and a medical student trying to learn medicine.
Before Ali dies, he wants…
to find the truth,
to leave behind a legacy,
to leave behind a lineage,
and to make sure that his parents have security.
When Ali dies, he wants…
to be doing something good,
not to be doing something bad,
to make sure he’s paid off all his debts,
and to leave behind an inheritance.
After Ali dies, he wants…
paradise,
God to judge him by His mercy not His justice,
and good for all of humanity.
In conclusion, Ali says…
Follow your heart. Follow what you believe is right. And if you do that… you can say to whatever God there is, “Oh God I followed my heart. I tried to eliminate my ego. I tried to follow what I believed was the truth”… How could God punish you for that?
