The current phenomenological-qualitative study explored the meaning of death and dying from a Jordanian-Muslim perspective. Data were collected through face-to-face interviews with eight patients and five family caregivers, then analyzed following the Braun and Clarke steps. The analysis revealed two main themes; confronting death and preparing for a good death. The experience of terminal illness compelled the patients and their family caregivers to think of imminent death and want to prepare for it. On the other hand, Muslim terminally-ill patients accepted death and surrendered to God's decree; however, they feared the unknown of the dying experience. Furthermore, the patients were concerned about being a burden to their families during the last days of their lives. Additionally, Muslim patients and caregivers identified five components of a 'good death' from the Arab-Muslims' perspectives, including having a good closure, dying with dignity, coming to peace, not dying alone, and having a religious engagement
