Answer 1

Those on whom the angels cause to die while they are wronging their souls, will offer submission pleading, 'We use not to do any evil.' It will be said to them, 'Nay, surely, God knows well what you used to do,

Those whom the angels cause to die while they are pure, they say to them, 'Peace be unto you. Enter Heaven because of what you used to do.'

Holy Quran

If a man had the deeds of 70 prophets he would deem his deeds small because of the hardship he will see on that day. If a bucket of two baths were poured in the rising place of the sun it would cause to boil, the skulls of those who are witnessing its setting. And if Hell only exhaled one sigh, no near angel nor messenger sent would remain but would fall prostrate on his knees saying, "Lord have mercy on my soul," until he will forget Ibrahim and Ishaq and say, "My Lord, I am your Khaleel Ibrahim (s), so don't forget me!"

Take advantage of five things before five things seize you; Your youth before Your old age, your health before your sickness, Your wealth before your poverty, your spare time before your being busy and your life before you death.

Beware that may not over take you a fatal accident during stumbling. The stumbling will not be averted. It will not be possible to return (to correct your mistake). Will not praise you the one you left behind of what you left behind. Will not excuse you, the one you will meet (Allah), of what you were so busy conducting (in the world, carelessly).

Take account of yourself before you're taken account of so your accounting will be easier tomorrow. And weigh yourself before you are weighed and prepare for the great staging; the day you will be presented, not the least of a hidden thing of you will be hidden from Allah.

Answer 2

Not so much of death itself but what our fate would be afterwards. Look at how the early Companions were when they thought of death. Omar(RAA) used to cry like a baby. When asked why, he said that he was afraid of the torment in the grave. So, I guess being afraid of not sure if we did enough good. Is Allaah pleased with us? Will we suffer in the grave?
Will we receive our Book in the left hand or the right? We are far from how the Companions (May Allaah Be Pleased With Them) were. They never felt like they've done enough or like they were guaranteed Allah was absoluetly pleased with them. They still fought to do good deeds even if they were the closest to the Prophet (Peace Be Upon Him).

Answer 3

All things are from Allah.
Life is a trial in preparation for the next realm of existence and
Death is a normal part of life and it is inevitable. Enjoy your life without going into extremes and realize that you can never do and own everything; this way, you will not fear of the day that you will leave this material world.
Sura (chapter) 2:82: "But those who have faith and work righteousness, they are companions of the Garden: Therein shall they abide (For ever)."

Be not afraid of dying.

Answer 4

No. Despite that we aren't like the Ashara Mubashara, those ten gaurenteed Paradise, so we do have cause for concern. Yet, we should not really fear the concept of death. Rather, we should fear what lies beyond that: the Hellfire.
For non-Muslims, death is an ending. For Muslims, death is the begining.

We all want to go to heaven, but no one wants to die. How is that?

Answer 5

Absolutely not. Fear is a great detractor of faith, trust in your faith and you will have no fear of anything. I'm not saying lay down and quit, fight for every second of life for as long as you are alive then the more people can witness the true in spirit but do not fear the end of this cycle.

Answer 6

life and loss of life are the organic progression of all issues in this earth. loss of life is a door to the subsequent measurement and the subsequent point in the form of your soul. that is like, your life, merely like each action picture, has now ended. The sequel will initiate shortly after that. study some books on people who've had close to-loss of life studies and you will comprehend loss of life isn't frightening. that is generally defined as a place of super white easy the place one feels risk-free and finished. regardless of the shown fact that, while it is not it gradual to die, you will settle for the possibility to return decrease back while you at the instant are not waiting to go away your life yet. regardless of the shown fact that it rather is a decision you will settle for.

Answer 7

imagine you awoke in a white colored room, no windows, no doors, nothing inside, just you . How do you feel?
psychologists said this is one way of knowing how a person deals with death.
afraid of dying? all is in the condition of the mind, if one is well motivated, why be afraid of losing a life which is borrowed and be returned to the rightful owner?

Answer 8

Yes we should be scared of death cuz allah(swt) said be scared of death cuz it is nothing u have ever imagined...and every cause there is and effect like if u do the 5 pillars of islam and u just don't listen to ur mom that is a big thing becuz janna lies on ur mother feet and u never know if u did something wrong becuz like i said something little can be something BIG!!!
~ so u should be scared of allah(swt)

Answer 9

For non-Muslims especially the atheists, they believe that they live this life, they gonna die, not out of believing but for observing that everyone dies however long they live, and so they hates death and hates every thing that may remind them of it.

Jews, on the other hand, "fears" death as they "know" they are wrong and this way, they will go to hell and stay there forever.

We, Muslims, have a different situation of death, we believe that death is not constrained by age, youth die without a significant reason , just like old people, death is not constrained by some level of health, healthy people die without a significant reason just like sick people. Simply, there is no "reason" for death, every one is object to death at anytime regardless of their age, health, .....or whatever.
The point is for those Muslims who obey Allah and follow all His commands found in Quran and in Muhamedian Sunnah, they will go to Jannah (paradise) isa, but for those who disobeys Allah and live their life just to satisfy their desires and intincts regardless of Allah's commands, they will suffer in hell in the Judgment Day, every one according to their bad deeds,then they will go to heaven by Allah's mercy isa.

Answer 10

We should fear the death and always pray for the long life,but we shall not be afraid of Dying. Because death is the only truth of Life. We have to prepare ourselves by obey Allah's Quran, Muhammad's (p.b.u.h.) teachings, five pillars of Islam, You know just by being good and exactly try to follow the path of Rasulallah (S.A.W.) then we can atleast be able to die and go to the grave. and may Allah do not send all the Adhab of grave to us, and May He really forgive our sins.
