Near-death experiences often echo the Qur’an’s map of death as passage, not erasure. The self separates from the body, pauses in برْزَخ, and faces a moral ledger. Some are revived before crossing the barrier and return transformed. We weigh clinical studies, skeptical models, and classic cases to show how NDEs can fit Islamic teaching without overclaiming. The dead do not vanish. We are being prepared.
