In islam, we believe that death is painful.
The process of extraction of the soul from the body is painful.
The prophet pbuh while he was dying said "to death are painful moments."
The soul starts moving from your feet and hands until it reaches the throat area, and that is where the soul comes out from.
When the angel comes to take your soul, if you are a disbeliever, here is the description of the extraction: like cotton stuck in thorns.
the soul of the believer comes out like a drop of water(ie it is easy).
Also, when one dies, from the time of death till the day of ressurection, we pass through what is called " punishment of the grave"
the prophet pbuh used to always pray that God will make that period easy for him.
If you were a good person and a believer, then your grave will feel open for you. For disbelievers it feels tight.
EDIT: spiritual seeker. Untrue. You will very much know it when you are dead.

It is difficult to understand your 2 questions and , more difficult , when the subject "DEATH" is the question. Still we will a, all, attempt.

1. If you want to know how one feels when death comes , one can make a guess.. You see all the time , people around us are dying, close people, relatives , friends , unknown people, persons we donot like.....

Each of these deaths create different emotions in us. Some make us sad, some ( may be ) happy, some empathy and like that. You ( we ) fall in between any of these categories.
It can be said that for many , many of us death will come as a great relief or freedom , at the time of death.

But , still the very word death always creqats a sense of fear in all of us.

2. No one can tell us when we will die. But we all know for sure ( 100%) that we will die. Hence , it all the more strange when we know that will die but we donot wnat to know when we will die. When you see the obituary column in the newspapers we know that some say we will figure in the list.

No way to know that death has happened to us... Because, all the sense organs would stop working ! EVERYTHING we know is just through the sense organs.
That is why some people try to go deeper and reach a level of perception that is beyond the sense organs, so that they can perceive the self, beyond just the physical body !

no one knows of course for sure, but i think from being in the medical field for many years plus my own experience with family and friends I have been with many people when they have died ,I think you will be ready mentally and able to except it and you will just know it is the time. Being an older person or younger when the time comes, esp. if you have been sick for awhile. things that happen to your body as you are going through the sickness and dieing process tell your mind it is OK. hope this helps.

The best person to answer your question is either a attempted Suicide person or a person on death bed. Others like person hanged etc cannot tell because he is not alive.

Suicide person possibly will tell that they want to end the life at the fastest.
Person at the sick bed will have different feeling depending on his psychological conditions, family conditions, environment etc.

I cannot really say how it will be for me, but I believe I know how it was for my parents. My father knew it was time for him to go, he said: "I can't stay here any longer and you have to let me go. The only reason I am here today is because I don't know how you kids will handle this. I have had a good wife good family, good life and I have no regrets. I love you, but please don't come back to visit me; just let me go." He made his transition peacefully and happily at home three days later.

My mother appeared to be about 60 until after her 90th birthday. She had no serious illnesses. The doctor told her she had the body parts of a twenty year old. When she turned 90 she told us: I am old and tired and I want to go home. She began to age over night; literally. Her hair turned gray and her skin wrinkled. She started having pneumonia about every three months. After several bouts with pneumonia the Dr. told us that it would be the kindest and most peaceful way for her to go if we did not give her the antibiotics. We just couldn't let her go and we continued giving her the antibiotics when she had pneumonia for four years. At 94 my mother figured we wouldn't let her go and her whole body just shut down and she died feeling peaceful. There was a smile on her face.

My brother was given only a few years to live...it broke my heart and I cried when he told me. He told me, "Please don't grieve for me, I am ok with this." Gratefully 8 years later he is still here.

Just some personal experiences about family nearing the time of transition.

I think how we feel when it is time is influenced by those we love and care for, as evidenced by the differences me and my siblings had when it was time for our parents to go. My father was matter of fact in his statement for us to let him go, and we did...but ... mother was differerent she was here another for years after deciding she wanted to go. And when the Drs. said my brother's time was up...he proved them wrong. Difference was my parents made their decision to go, and the Drs. made my brothers decision.

I hope you get something out of this.

From your question, i'm gathering that you are referring to inevitable death due to old age, rather than traumatic death at a younger age... consider that as you age, your outlook on what life is about changes. when you are young, you think about the future, as you get older, approaching old age, you begin to reflect on the past. You may think about your childrens future, but you are aware of the uncertainty of yours. most people come to accept their own mortality during times of bereavement, when close friends and relatives are dying around them. this prepares them for their own, and, as it approaches, i believe that people are tired, and feel happy to die, whether they have had a good life or not.

I can only guess that it might be like eternal dreaming. Or better yet, like in sleeping, but then we merge with our subconscious to be fully "aware"...like a vivid dream. Then perhaps each one of us will have their own specific dream, and that itself will be how they experience heaven.

So if there weren't a true heaven or hell. If you die an evil person, that will be the state of mind you'll be in for eternity...like a bad trip that lasts forever...and vice versa!

I think death is a wonderful thing and everyone is going to do it. When well we will never know. I think you will know in your own mind when death is comming for you. No one is going to be able to tell you when you are going to die that is something only you are going to know.
