We are all under sentence of death; without knowing the day date and time of its execution.

Every breath we take is taking us closer to death. Death is a reality in which all human beings believe. However, it is also a reality which most of us like to keep out of our mind.

Death will come anytime, so please prepare yourself for death and always keep repenting to Allah.

Live each day as your last day, Death will come unannounced so be prepared. We have to enter our graves at any day. Let’s strive to make each day our best day for the sake of Allah.

Death is not an end to our existence; it is a passage, which takes us from this world to the hereafter.

Allah SWT said in the Quran : Every soul is going to taste of death,... (Quran 21 : 35)


Everyone on earth is destined to die. [Quran 55:26]


Wherever you will be, Death will overtake you... [Quran 4:78]


..."Verily, the death from which you flee will surely meet you, then you will be sent back to (Allâh),... (Quran 62 : 8)


...Indeed we belong to Allah , and indeed to Him we will return... [Quran 2:156]


All people can only live for an appointed time. When their term ends, they will not remain (alive) even for a single hour, nor will they die before the appointed time. (Quran 7:34)


…There is a written [schedule] for every term: (Quran 13 : 38)


...Say to them, Had you stayed in your homes, those whose death had been decreed would nevertheless have gone forth to the places where they were destined to die… [Quran 3:154]


Matar bin 'Ukamis narrated that the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) said: "When Allah decrees that a slave (of His) is to die in a land, He makes him have some need from it." Another chain reports a similar narration. [Jami` at-Tirmidhi 2146, 2298]


He is the irresistible, (watching) from above over His worshippers, and He sets guardians over you. At length, when death approaches one of you, Our angels take his soul, and they never fail in their duty. [Quran 6:61]

Every second, someone leaves the world, and we don't realize we are in the line too!.


It was narrated that ‘Abdullah bin ‘Amr said: “The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) passed by us when we were fixing a hut of ours, and said: ‘What is this?’ I said: ‘It is a hut of ours that has fallen into disrepair.’ The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: ‘The matter (of death) may come sooner than that.’” [Sunan Ibn Majah 4160]


...Ibn 'Umar (May Allah be pleased with them) used to say: "When you survive till the evening, do not expect to live until the morning; and when you survive until the morning, do not expect to live until the evening; (do good deeds) when you are in good health before you fall sick, and (do good deeds) as long as you are alive before death strikes". [Al- Bukhari]. [Riyad as-Salihin 470]


Death comes without warning; may Allah take our soul while we are busy in his worship. May our graves be more comfortable than our beds.


Death is the inevitable reality from which none can escape. It can come anytime, anywhere without any warning. Your big bunglow, your big bank balance, your branded cars, your wealth, your academic qualifications (degrees), your status, and your beauty are all just temporary, and they cannot save us in the grave or in the hereafter. Nothing can save us except our own good deeds. In shaa Allah.


The Deathbed wishes of Alexander


Sikandar [Alexander] the biggest ruler of ancient history while lying on his deathbed, he realized that nothing was worth it even after living a successful life conquering most of the known world. The final days of Sikandar on his deathbed offer a moral lesson for all of us. When he was on his deathbed he said, I want my both hands to keep dangling out of my Janaza [coffin], because I want people to know that we came empty-handed in this world and we will go empty-handed.


Life is so funny, you come with nothing then you fight for everything and later leave everything and go with nothing.

Human beings are often negligent creatures who plan for everything except for death. Strive daily to stay alive, yet also prepare yourself for death. Sometimes, when we are traveling from one city to another or one country to another country, we are concerned about preparing for the journey. We check our passport, visa, and secure our tickets. We also think about the climate there to ensure that the cold doesn't affect our health, so we pack warm clothes, socks, gloves, etc., in advance. We arrange for accommodation and other arrangements for our stay from here. But when it comes to the journey of the Hereafter, we often say, "We will see."


These people love the present life, and leave behind a Heavy Day. (Qur’an 76 : 27)


Those who say, "We will deal with death when it comes," will face terrifying punishment ahead for their heedlessness. Eventually, they too will have to die, and when they die and their dead body is put in the grave and the angels Munkar and Nakir will begin questioning: "Who is your Lord? What is your religion? Who was your prophet?" Then they will realize what they should have done and what they ended up doing. If he is a sinner, he will be punished in the grave with enormous angels striking them with heavy hammers, tearing apart their bodies and subjecting them to continuous torment. At that point, these heedless individuals will cry and plead, but their regret and sorrow will be of no avail. Their eyes will remain wide open out of fear, and there are no words to describe their anguish.


They will cry, “I wish I had sent forth ˹something good˺ for my ˹true˺ life.” [Quran 89:24]


However, crying at such moment will not help. O Allah, protect us from the torment of hell, it is a great loss.


A wise elder attended a funeral and then asked a man standing nearby, "What do you think this died person would prefer to do if he were to return to this world?" The man replied, "He would pray, recite the Quran, seek forgiveness, and not engage in anything else." The elder remarked, "The one who is about to die couldn't do these things, but you certainly can."


There is still time, breathing is going on, opportunities for repentance are being offered, righteous deeds can be performed and sins can be abandoned, before life comes to an end and the doors of deeds and repentance close. Seek the pleasure of your Master, Allah (SWT).


Brother, in my opinion, consider this life as a blessing and never abandon prayers, fasting, recitation of the Quran, remembrance of Allah, and seeking forgiveness. Countless people in the graveyards are yearning to get their life back only once, to bow before Allah.


If reading and understanding all this has no effect on your heart, then understand that your heart has become hardened. For such people, Allah (SWT) says in the Quran.


Those who deny the truth are like animals which hear nothing in your call but the sound of a voice, without understanding its meaning. They are deaf, dumb and blind. They understand nothing. (Qur'an 2 : 171)

Shaddad bin Aus (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "A wise man is the one who calls himself to account (and refrains from doing evil deeds) and does noble deeds to benefit him after death; and the foolish person is the one who subdues himself to his temptations and desires and seeks from Allah the fulfillment of his vain desires". [At-Tirmidhi, who categorized it as Hadith Hasan]. [Riyad as-Salihin 66]


It was narrated that Ibn ‘Umar said: “I was with the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) and a man from among the Ansar came to him and greeted the Prophet (ﷺ) with Salam. Then he said: ‘O Messenger of Allah, which of the believers is best?’ He said: ‘He who has the best manners among them.’ He said: ‘Which of them is wisest?’ He said: ‘The one who remembers death the most and is best in preparing for it. Those are the wisest.’” [Sunan Ibn Majah 4259]


How do I prepare myself for a good death?


To prepare for a good end, focus on maintaining a life of good deeds. such as praying daily 5 times prayer (Salah) to strengthen your connection with Allah, constantly seeking Allah's forgiveness for our sins, engaging in ongoing charity (Sadaqah Jariyah), and reading daily shahada because whoever's last word is shahada will enter paradise. In shaa Allah.


All people go to Allah after death. A wise person goes to Allah before death.

Death is a terrifying thought, but once you truly understand it, you won't be afraid of it. True Muslims welcome death because it is the only way to enjoy the pleasures of paradise and you can see your Lord with your own eyes. In shaa Allah.


‘Abdallah b. ‘Amr reported God’s messenger as saying, ‘‘The gift to a believer is death.”( i.e. death is the means by which he gains an introduction to the delights of paradise.) Baihaqi transmitted it in Shu'ab al-iman. [Mishkat al-Masabih 1609]


If Allah is pleased with you, then there is no gift more beautiful than death.
