There it is. Thanks Rene, mystery solved.

It’s pretty much the same for us. When someone dies we say inna lillahi wa inna ilayhi raji’un (we belong to God, and to God we return)—i.e. the veil of the body is left behind and the soul returns from whence it came. Obviously it’s easier for me to just say R.I.P. than to have to explain that every time. ;o)
