What Islam says about death

Everyone expects good ending. The final expectation of a believer is to have the good fortune of death with faith. The sign of a believer's end is that he repents of all his sins and corrects himself before he dies. Running towards good deeds and obedience to Allah. To die in the path of light. The true believer continues to receive the good news of Paradise before he dies. As a result, a radiance of joy appeared on his face. Allah says (interpretation of the meaning): “And those who say,‘ Allah is our Lord ’, then remain steadfast (at the time of death), the angels descend upon them and say,‘ Do not be afraid, do not be anxious. And rejoice in the Paradise which has been promised to you. ”(Surah Ha-Mim Assijda, verse 30).

Whoever fasts one day in the hope of Allah's pleasure and this becomes his last deed, he will enter Paradise.

The time of life is the treasure of a human being. If it is used for the welfare of the Hereafter, then it is a success. And if it is destroyed in sin and wickedness and dies in this state, then he will be the most loser. Hazrat Abdullah Ibn Masood (R.) said, ‘The believer thinks of sin as if he is sitting at the foot of a mountain. And at any moment the mountain could fall on him. '(Bukhari, 11/69)

Many people are recklessly involved in wickedness. At one point his last days come and his untimely death occurs.

When death approaches, one should expect more of God's mercy. The desire to meet God should be strong. Because the person who is interested in meeting Allah, Allah is also interested in meeting him. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said, ‘Let each of you die only if you are righteous towards Allah.’ (Muslim, H. 28)

Remembering more and more death cuts off the fascination of the world and creates the thought of the Hereafter. As a result, it inspires more and more good deeds in a human and prevents him from indulging in illicit pleasures in the fleeting world. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said, ‘Remember more and more about the death that destroys all pleasures. (Tirmizi, H. 2409)

The grave reminds people of their consequences. After death, the relatives dig the grave. Lays the dead in a dark room. Leave it under the ground and come back. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said, ‘Visit graves. Because it'll remind you of death. '(Muslim, H. 96)

The company with the righteous awakens faith in the heart and increases courage and motivation. Because when other people witness the goodness of good people, their enthusiasm and competition in the work of virtue, then they also have the courage and motivation to walk in the path of virtue. In the same way, when people see their atheism and worldliness, they also become interested in acquiring this feature.
