A Passage to Eternity: A Mystical Account of a Near-Death Experience and Poetic Journey Into the Afterlife

A PASSAGE TO ETERNITY gives us a rare glimpse into the world of spirituality and mystical traditions of Shia Ismaili Islam. When vacationing in Florida, the author falls ill and undergoes a profound near-death experience whilst in a coma. She describes the journey of her soul and its ultimate trajectory towards the Almighty, before finally merging with the Light. The most redeeming feature of the book is its confirmation that ALL religions steeped in the universal practice of charity, patience, kindness and goodwill, lead the soul towards its inevitable destiny – the journey back Home.

Azmina Suleman’s in-depth account of a near-death experience is a treasure of a spiritual read. Islamic near-death accounts are rather rare in the literature, and this account from a Shia Ismaili Muslim adds a significant dimension to near-death experience accounts. Her 2 – 1/2 page description of her union with God alone is worth the price of the book!

Azmina Suleman is one of those incredible teachers who provides the reader with a unique glimpse into the other side. As a Muslim and someone from a multicultural background, she brings a very different perspective to near-death experiences. Yet, she manages to provide a balanced description of her experience that bridges an important gap. She addresses such questions as what it means to have an NDE and what happens on the other side. More importantly, she forces us to take a closer look at what it is that we should be learning from these experiences. It is a very well-written account that will speak to the medical community caring for the critically ill, the researcher, and those just wanting to know more about the phenomena.

A Passage to Eternity is destined to be remembered as a notable event in the exploration, study and appreciation of the psyche. Azmina Suleman speaks powerfully and unforgettably, as she takes us on an intimate journey through the complex world of near-death experiences. She distills with stunning clarity the emotional depth, beauty, and spiritual richness to be found in a trans-dimensional reality that lies beyond the physical. Not only is this book a compelling testament to the potential for profound wisdom and mysterious insight open to those receptive to such wisdom, but it is an important addition to the field of psycho-spiritual studies based on personal experience.

What impresses me most about Azmina Suleman’s extraordinary story is its absolute candor and honesty. Whether you believe in an afterlife or not (and I myself am agnostic on this question), you cannot doubt the truth to be found in her telling of a profound personal experience. What is important here is not its epistemic validity, but its moral value – its power to inspire faith, and care for others.

Azmina Suleman weaves together a personal account of her near-death experience with the wisdom of scripture. Even though we are of the Roman Catholic faith, Azmina’s book speaks to all faiths alike as she makes us realize that we are ALL equally the children of ONE God, and that we are all in it together on our journey through life.

AN EXCELLENT READ!! Azmina Suleman writes so beautifully that you feel you are there with her sharing her experience. She explains how all paths are the way to the ONE true God, and how humanity has been guided and loved from the onset of its birth experience. Stimulating reading for those looking for enlightenment.
