ABSTRACT
This conclusion chapter explains about the ideas and concepts that relate to the notions of time and space in Arabo-Islamic culture that have been in processual development for millennia. The obligation of taghsil and takfin of a parent’s body, is a strong aspect of family bonding in Arabo-Islamic culture. The practice of taghsil and takfin allows sons and daughters to meet their obligations when they give their parents the most rewarding, the warmest, and most personal care in preparing them for the afterlife when their lives end. The rhythm of Islam evokes a concept that is of increasing significance in the psychological and cognitive sciences, namely the notion of mindfulness. Mindfulness embodies a number of qualities or components that can be considered most relevant to Muslim rhythm – such as patience (allowing things to unfold in their own time), trust (confidence in the ability to stay in contact with private experience), nonreactivity (calmness), wisdom (self-knowledge), and compassion (empathy for oneself).
