About this episode

Our favorite Muslim chaplain, Kristen Jawad, is the essence of compassion and understanding in serving the spiritual needs of Muslims nearing the end of their earthly journey. Knowing that she is providing comfort, solace, and support for individuals and families during these challenging times makes us so hopeful for our community getting its needs met by strong warriors willing to do this hard work. 🤝


Kristen recognizes the unique challenges and specific religious requirements that Muslims face at the end of life, helping Muslims find peace and fulfillment as they navigate this sacred transition. How is her work different from that of an imam’s and why is it necessary? 🕌🌺Her guidance fosters understanding and empowers families to support their loved ones in a manner that aligns with Islam. Considerate and critical community aftercare as well as the end of any relationship are all related to death too, and we dive into those topics as well.
