May this reach you in the Highest level of Iman and health.Ameen ya Allah.
Not being close servants of Almighty Allah who put their trust in Him, people who do not live by the morals of Islam inevitably harbor groundless fears. They constantly go in dread of the future, of being alone, of losing their property and health. They greatly fear having an accident and, most importantly, are afraid of death. Speaking of the fear from death, Almighty Allah says:
(Say: "Death, from which you are fleeing, will certainly catch up with you. Then you will be returned to the Knower of the Unseen and the Visible and He will inform you about what you did.") (Al-Jumu`ah 62:8)
For disbelievers, death and life after death are certainly a mystery. Even if they do not think about the life beyond, they ponder much on how they will meet death and they remain in the grip of this feeling. They think about all forms of death and feel too terrified to contemplate the possibility that, one day, one of these will befall them. Having no true faith in the existence of the hereafter, such people become utterly frightened of death. They think they will be reduced to insignificance under the earth and will have no chance whatsoever to go back to life again. Their fear of death is basically oriented around losing worldly joys and being non-existent rather than the reality of the Day of Judgment.
Unbelieving people mostly endeavor to overcome this feeling of being reduced to nothingness by creating monuments to leave behind. This attitude is also stressed in a Qur’anic verse as follows:
(You construct fine buildings, hoping to live for ever.) (Ash-Shu`araa' 26:129)
The very mention of death plunges disbelievers into a state of misery. No matter how hard they avoid the thought of it, they come upon scenes of death everyday in newspapers and on the TV. The death of people surrounding them or the occurrence of accidents and illnesses elsewhere become constant reminders of the end of this life. Yet, as is their general tendency, they avoid it and do their very utmost not to give so much as a thought to death. If anyone ever attempts to talk about death, they distract their attention and make them forget the approaching end.
The fact that death may come in various forms terrifies them. They do not want to see a graveyard, for instance, nor do they buy a house close to a graveyard to avoid the thought of death. However, no matter in which corner of the world they are, death will lay hold of them one day. This immutable fact is related in the following verse:
(Wherever you are, death will catch up with you, even if you are in impregnable fortresses…) (An-Nisaa' 4:78)
Death and the hereafter are the two realities of which believers have a sharp comprehension. They spend their lives in anticipation of it. For them, death is actually the bliss of meeting with their Creator and attaining the true abode. They recognize that death is not an end and consequently they fear neither death nor anything else. They only fear their Lord and incurring His wrath upon them.
Almost all human beings, with the exception of believers, are curious and anxious about what the future holds for them. Considering all the unfavorable things that may be experienced all throughout life, they feel greatly concerned. The undesirable events likely to happen in the future make them really uneasy and anxious.
Since they never feel secure in putting trust in Almighty Allah, they are deprived of such ease. People are tested by the favors granted to them by their Creator and they are responsible for using these favors for His cause. Yet, due to this fear felt for the future, the majority of people remain in the grip of self-interest. This situation is expressed in the following verse:
(Satan threatens you with poverty and commands you to do what is indecent. But Allah promises you forgiveness and His bounty. Allah is All-Encompassing, All-Knowing.) (Al-Baqarah 2:268)
One of the perpetual fear people have regarding the future is growing old. As they grow old, they experience changes in their bodies; wrinkles appear on their faces, their hair begins to fall out and starts turning white, and their sensory organs gradually lose their sensitivity. Each one of these effects of old age terrifies those who are unaware of the morality of religion. In case of a serious illness, they wonder if their children will care for them. They also think fearfully about how they will face death one day. Another major concern of elderly people is the loneliness they live in after their spouses have passed away. They think about how they will manage to live in the absence of their partners.
These are simply the unavoidable fears and troubles one suffers in the absence of faith. For believers, however, the situation is otherwise. They have none of these fears. They believe there is goodness in everything, since whatever happens, it occurs under the control of Almighty Allah. They expect no more than Allah's guidance and pleasure, for they consider Him alone as their real protector and helper. Besides, they are aware of the fact that they have nothing to fear in this world. They have only to submit themselves to their Lord and always seek His approval. This attitude of the believers is related in the following verse:
(Say: "Nothing can happen to us except what Allah has ordained for us. He is our Master. It is in Allah that the believers should put their trust.") (At-Tawbah 9:51)
If people sincerely live by the principles of Islam, many troubles and sufferings will naturally vanish and everyone will lead a happy and peaceful life. Religion brings solutions to all concerns. By adhering to religion, people feel relieved and free from their burdens. That is because they feel the comfort of being aware that every incident one encounters in life is but a test from Almighty Allah. In times of trouble, they never forget that they will earn their rewards by putting their trust in their Lord. Similarly, when they are granted a favor, they feel grateful to Him, thereby hoping to attain a reward in the hereafter. This state of contentment is surely a privilege given to believers by virtue of Islamic morals. In fact, a strong faith, trust in and submission to Almighty Allah are essential to enjoy this privilege. Only those who possess these strengths can free themselves from their anxiety. Others, on the other hand, beset by worldly concerns and fears, start to take their punishment while they are still in this world.
