” Verily, with ALLAH alone is the knowledge of the Hour. And HE sends down the rain, and HE knows what is in the wombs. And no soul knows what it will earn tomorrow, and no soul knows in what land it will die. Surely, ALLAH is All-Knowing, All-Aware. ” 31:34
Allah’s Messenger (Sal-allahu-aleihi-wasallam) said:
“The gift of a believer is death.”
[Mishkat 1609]
Death is in our daily lives. Allah reminds us each day that we will die. There are reminders all around us. The more we change, the more we age…its all in reminder for our ultimate end. The biggest reminder is that we are alive. As our beloved Rasul, may peace and blessing be upon him, has said, it is a true believer who finds death as a gift. A believer wants his death more than life so that he can meet Allah. May Allah grant us true understanding of Life and Death. Amin
Allah said in the Qur’an, “But those who believe and do good deeds, We will admit them to gardens (Paradise) in which rivers flow, lasting in them forever…” (Qur’an, 4:57)
Its amazing how death can be a gift for a true believer, and for someone who is not a true believer?
Death can admit us to Paradise or the Hell fire. SubhanAllah, yet people don’t take death seriously.
