To quote Buster Merryfield (Only Fools & Horses):
I don't believe in heaven but i'm not afraid to die.

I am but then again I am not. I think the after life will be the most wonderful thing ever but dying is a scary reality that we can't stop from happening. I am older now so I think about it every day. My dad and my late husband both died at 57. I am 6 years away. I don't want to be scared to die but how can you not be. None of us knows what it feels like or how it will happen. Yep I am very scared but I know I will like the after life and I feel that once we enter that life, the life here now amoung the living will be forgotten as though it never happened. Until then I wish to enjoy every single day I have on this earth because I know I will not be able to take the memories with me.

I am absolutely terrified of the thought of dying. It's not like u can ask anyone what it feels like, everybody has there beleifs but no one can say for certain what actully happens to u, what it feels like and where u go. That's if u go anywhere. I just hope with all my heart that it happens very quick so that I dont know what is happening. It must be the scariest feeling in the world, the realisation that u r dying.

I can't really say i am scared of dying because everyone will die some day. No matter what you may do you is going to die one day and hopefully it will when you is around 100 years old.

People that I love and trusted have died so I am not afraid to die, to join them and hopefully to do a bit of haunting, I know, but there are one or two people that might benefit from a little help from the grave!
But being not afraid is not the same as wanting to die, I am personally hoping for another decade at least, I can't see it either, but one can hope.
I thank God for my faith, and I trust The Lord totally.

No one fears death quite as much as they fear what comes after it. Most people cant imagine how it would be to just completely be snuffed out of existence and it scares them. In a way thats what religion is all about, and thats giving you something to look forward to in death. Im not saying that all religions are just excuses of something that comes after death, but it does make dieing seem more bareable. So i only fear that after death theres nothing else...

controversial answer ,i will get lots of thumbs down for this but what the hell its my opinion that you are asking for
(1) Japanese kamikaze pilots
(2)suicide bombers
i think they are or the only ones that were not afraid of dying,most us i assume would like to peacefully and not be in any severe pain as that is not always the case,me as long as it quick and if asleep never to wake .to me something like a general anaesthetic when your closed they close for good.

What Does Islam Say about
the Day of Judgment?
Like Christians, Muslims believe that the present life is only a trial preparation for the next realm of existence. This life is a test for each individual for the life after death. A day will come when the whole universe will be destroyed and the dead will be resurrected for judgment by God. This day will be the beginning of a life that will never end. This day is the Day of Judgment. On that day, all people will be rewarded by God according to their beliefs and deeds. Those who die while believing that “There is no true god but God, and Muhammad is the Messenger (Prophet) of God” and are Muslim will be rewarded on that day and will be admitted to Paradise forever, as God has said:
And those who believe and do good deeds, they are dwellers of Paradise, they dwell therein forever. (Quran, 2:82)
But those who die while not believing that “There is no true god but God, and Muhammad is the Messenger (Prophet) of God” or are not Muslim will lose Paradise forever and will be sent to Hellfire, as God has said:
And whoever seeks a religion other than Islam, it will not be accepted from him and he will be one of the losers in the Hereafter. (Quran, 3:85)
And as He has said:
Those who have disbelieved and died in disbelief, the earth full of gold would not be accepted from any of them if it were offered as a ransom. They will have a painful punishment, and they will have no helpers. (Quran, 3:91)
One may ask, ‘I think Islam is a good religion, but if I were to convert to Islam, my family, friends, and other people would persecute me and make fun of me. So if I do not convert to Islam, will I enter Paradise and be saved from Hellfire?’
The answer is what God has said in the preceding verse, “And whoever seeks a religion other than Islam, it will not be accepted from him and he will be one of the losers in the Hereafter.”
After having sent the Prophet Muhammad to call people to Islam, God does not accept adherence to any religion other than Islam. God is our Creator and Sustainer. He created for us whatever is in the earth. All the blessings and good things we have are from Him. So after all this, when someone rejects belief in God, His Prophet Muhammad , or His religion of Islam, it is just that he or she be punished in the Hereafter. Actually, the main purpose of our creation is to worship God alone and to obey Him, as God has said in the Holy Quran (51:56).
This life we live today is a very short life. The unbelievers on the Day of Judgment will think that the life they lived on earth was only a day or part of a day, as God has said:
He (God) will say, “How many years did you stay on the earth?” They will say: “We stayed a day or part of a day....” (Quran, 23:112-113)
And He has said:
Did you then think that We had created you in jest (without any purpose), and that you would not be returned to Us (in the Hereafter)? So, God is exalted, the True King. None has the right to be worshipped but Him... (Quran, 23:115-116)
The life in the Hereafter is a very real life. It is not only spiritual, but physical as well. We will live there with our souls and bodies.
In comparing this world with the Hereafter, the Prophet Muhammad said: {The value of this world compared to that of the Hereafter is like what your finger brings from the sea when you put it in and then take it out.}1 The meaning is that, the value of this world compared to that of the Hereafter is like a few drops of water compared to the sea.

Why be scared?
If you believe there is no "after life" then you simply cease to exist, no suffering: nothing to fear.
If you believe there is an afterlife, if you have a clear conscience, there is nothing to fear.
If you believe there is an afterlife, and you don't have a clear conscience, most religions/philosophies believe you will be forgiven therefore; there is nothing to fear.
