Spiritual Care for Muslim Patients During Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation and End-of-Life Care: A Narrative Reflection and Bedside Framework

This narrative reflection examines spiritual care for Muslim patients during cardiopulmonary resuscitation and end-of-life care. Islamic ethics emphasize preservation of life, dignity, prevention of harm, and relief of suffering. Practices such as talqin, Qur'anic recitation, modesty protection, family presence, qibla orientation, and imam or chaplain involvement may be accommodated when they do not interfere with resuscitation. Direct evidence during cardiac arrest remains limited, supporting consensus, simulation, feasibility testing, and evaluation.
