Daily Reflections - The Reality of Death PDF Print E-mail

The one thing which is for 100% sure is the ‘Reality of death’. We all are here in this world for an appointed term & that term will definitely come to an end. Before the term comes to an end we must all make an effort to examine what’s the purpose for us for being in this world & must try to remember death as it’s a tool for defeating pleasures/greeds.

Narrated by Ibn Umar (May Allah be pleased with them) that the Messenger of Allah (pbuh) 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. In this regard our beloved Prophet (pbuh) said: ''Do for your life as if you are to live eternally, and do for the hereafter as if you are to die tomorrow. '

3:185. Everyone shall taste death. And only on the Day of Resurrection shall you be paid your wages in full. And whoever is removed away from the Fire and admitted to Paradise, he indeed is successful. The life of this world is only the enjoyment of deception (a deceiving thing).

29:57. Everyone shall taste the death. Then unto Us you shall be returned.


31:34. Verily, Allâh! With Him (Alone) is the knowledge of the Hour, He sends down the rain, and knows that which is in the wombs. No person knows what he will earn tomorrow, and no person knows in what land he will die. Verily, Allâh is All­Knower, All­Aware (of things).


63:11. And Allâh grants respite to none when his appointed time (death) comes. And Allâh is All-Aware of what you do.


62:8. Say (to them): "Verily, the death from which you flee will surely meet you, then you will be sent back to (Allâh), the All-Knower of the unseen and the seen, and He will tell you what you used to do."


67:2. Who has created death and life, that He may test you which of you is best in deed. And He is the All-Mighty, the Oft-Forgiving;
