REALITY OF DEATH!!


Every one of us has to die. In this regard Allah mentioned in the Qur'an that everyone has to die including the Prophet himself.
"Truly thou wilt die (one day), and truly they (too) will die (one day)." (The Holy Qur'an, Chapter 39, Verse 30)

Allah also said that every soul shall taste the death:
"Every soul shall have taste of death; In the end to us shall ye be brought back .(The Holy Qur'an, Chapter 29, Verse 57)

No one knows when and where one will die. No one even knows how someone is to die. As Allah says in the Qur'an:
"Nor does anyone know what it is that he will earn on the morrow: Nor does anyone know in what land he is to die. Verily with God is full knowledge and He is acquainted (with all things)" (The Holy Qur'an, Chapter 31, Verse 34)

It is understood that Allah alone is the One Who gives life, and it is He Who takes off life.
"It is He Who gives Life and Death; and when He decides upon an affair, He says to it, "Be, " "and it is. " (The Holy Qur'an, Chapter 40, Verse 68)

While life and death are from Allah, we have to remember that they are to take place with the permission of Allah alone. Each one's life and death are decided by Allah. It is stated in the Qur'an

"Nor can a soul die except by God as leave, the term being fixed as by writing. Many do desire a reward in this life, we shall give it to him, and if any do desire a reward In the hereafter, we shall give it to him. And swiftly shall we reward those that (serve us with) gratitude. "(The Holy Qur'an, Chapter 3, Verse 145)

Allah (swt) makes us to die daily while sleeping. He makes most of us to wake up from our temporary death so we can praise Him and worship Him. The Qur'an states:

"It is God that takes the souls (of men) at death; and those that die not (He takes) during their sleep: those on whom He has passed the decree of death, He keeps back (from returning to t life) but the rest He sends (to their bodies) for a term appointed. Verily in this are Signs for those who reflect. (The Holy Qur'an, Chapter 39, Verse 42)

Allah has assigned an angel responsible for taking our souls out of our body. Allah informs us in Holy Quran:
"Say: "The Angel of Death put in charge of you, will (duly) take your souls: Then shall ye be brought back to your Lord."
(The Holy Qur'an, Chapter 32, Verse 11)

The life of each and every human being on this earth is a short one, but the deeds and actions of a true believer are eternal if he knows how to channel them in the right directions.

As far as the life span of a human being is concerned, our beloved Prophet :saw:(peace be upon him) said:

Narrated by Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) saying that the Prophet :)saw:) said: "The life span of my followers are between sixty and seventy. Very few of them do exceeds this age. " Reported by: Tirmizi


Life in this world is a temporary one. The real( Permanent) life is the one of Life Hereafter. In this respect the Qur'an states:

"What is the life of this world but amusement and play? But verily the Home in the Hereafter, that is life indeed, it they but knew." (The Holy Qur'an, Chapter 29, Verse 64)

We are here on a trial basis, we are here on a temporary basis, and we are here for a passage to Paradise or Hell . Almighty Lord Allah (swt) says in the Qur'an:

"Blessed be He in Whose hands is Dominion: and He over all things hath Power; He Who created Death and Life, that He may try which of you is best in deed: and He is the Exalted in Might, Oft-Forgiving"(The Holy Qur'an, Chapter 67, Verse 1-2)

The real life of an eternal rest is that of the hereafter. In this respect Allah says:
"O my People! This life of the present is nothing but (temporary) convenience. It is the Hereafter that is the Home that will last. "(The Holy Qur'an, Chapter 40, Verse 39)

Without coming to this world, and without dying we can't go to paradise. We can't dream to go to the final destination without tasting death. So we have to die whether we like it or not. Death is truth (Haqq). . It is a passage to Paradise. Therefore, it is important that we remember the death and prepare for it.. Our beloved Prophet :)saw:) reminded us that we have to remember death, as it is the one that defeats all types of pleasures.

Narrated by Ibn Umar (May Allah be pleased with them) that the Messenger of Allah :)saw:) said: "Increase your remembrance of the One which defeats pleasures".
While we are to remember death, we have to prepare ourselves to meet it - before it meets us.

As said by the beloved Prophet (peace be upon him): ''Do for your life as if you are to live eternally, and do for the hereafter as if you are to die tomorrow. ''

Remember that death is a process to reaching the final destination for both the believers and the non-believer. We hope and pray that each and everyone will go to Paradise. In other to achieve this ultimate success we must find out what Our Creator wants from us. and we must strive to seek the truth. In order one must desire the ultimate success there are two important things are necessary. First one must desire the real truth and second one must strive to seek the truth.

:ma:We all need to be reminded about this very important topic. No one will live forever, but to die in a state of Islam and as a martyr, should be all that matters. Death is a scary thing, but a definite reality for all of us. Jazakallahu Khairan for sharing!:hijabi:
