ANGEL OF DEATH

Allah says,

“Wheresoever you may be, death will overtake you even if you are in a fortress built up strong and 

high.” (Surah An-Nisa 4:78)

Death is an expected angel that comes at unexpected time according to our own point of view but not Allah point of view, because Allah is aware of what happen to us.

This angel comes at any time,

Sometimes when sleeping,

Walking

Traveling,

It comes anytime.

It takes away our loves one and one day it will take our own life

But who know when and where, nobody except ALLAH,

This angel leaves the sick and takes the healthy one away,

It takes the young and leaves old ones alone,

It takes father and leave mother,

It takes mother and leave father,

It take children and not parent,

It takes anyone when their time is up,

Who knows when and where?

 NOBODY,

I sat down and meditate on it and a voice told me,

Since death is an angel we expect but come at the time we didn’t expect, the solution is to do good deed always so when it comes at unexpected time it will take us away at the right time....

ALWAYS REMEMBER HELL FIRE IS REAL AND JANNA IS ALSO REAL.

ACCORDING TO  Imam Al-Madinah Al-Munawarrah ‘Abdul Bari Ibn ‘Awad ath-Thubayti

from the Prophet’s Mosque in Madinah, Muharram 19, 1422 (April 13, 2001)

All praise is due to Allah. I testify that there is no deity worthy of worship except Allah and that Muhammad (SAW) is His servant and Messenger.

I enjoin you and myself to fear Allah, for it is the provision and safety in this world and the Last Day, “the day when neither wealth nor sons will avail, except him who brings to Allah a clean heart.”

Allah says,

“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).” (Surah Al-‘Imran 3:175)

Such is the reality of death and what comes after it. Every one of us shall taste it whether poor or rich; healthy or sick, old or young; leader or led and none of us can escape it.

Death, as manifested in its character and effects is one of the mysteries that dazzles human intelligence because it has to do with the soul.

Allah says,

“And they ask you (O Muhammad) concerning the spirit. Say: ‘The spirit is one of the things, the knowledge of which is only with my Lord. And of knowledge, you (mankind) have been given only a little.” (Surah Al-Isra’ 17:85)

One of it mysteries is that you see a youth who was full of health and energy suddenly falls dead without warning; thereby making that youthfulness and energy fade away, bringing all his senses to a complete standstill. That youth might even be an erudite scholar, an eloquent author, a skilled physician or brilliant inventor but it is absolutely out of the question that this quality should prevent death from overtaking him when his time is due.

Allah says,

“When their term is reached, neither can they delay it nor can they advance it an hour (or a moment).” (Surah Younus 10:49)

‘Amr bin Abdullah used to mount the pulpit and say,

“Many a person who has seen the beginning of a day but would not see it’s end. And many a person who has expected morning but would not live to see it. If only you had known your appointed time and how it comes to pass, you would have detested nursing hope for worldly materials and its deception.”

While man enjoys his good health, playing and merrymaking, moving about in haughtiness, commanding and forbidding, death and illness suddenly attacks him, weakens his body, makes his limbs lifeless and then closes his record.

How near is death! Every day it becomes closer to us and no sooner has the book reached its appointed time that we belong among the dead. Then it becomes clear that life is really like flowers that bloom then afterwards wither or like a lamp that illuminates then afterwards dies down.

Let those who crave for this world and its pleasures ponder over these scattered graves all over the place and realize that the way to pleasures and lustful things, though decorated with beautiful roses inevitably leads to the present condition of those buried in these graves. Happiness is for him whom a messenger of death has opened his eyes to reality before he died, and whoever does not heed to the warning of the Quran and death, even if mountains were to thrust one another in front of him, he would not heed.

Dear brothers! What we witness in the cemeteries is a great lesson for us. The carrier of the bier to the cemetery today is taken back there tomorrow (as a dead person) and is left there only with his deeds either good or evil.

It is also very unfortunate that in these days we see some among those who escort the deceased laughing and playing or attending the funeral for showing off. This phenomenon is due to the heedlessness that has hardened people’s hearts and made them forget the Last Day and the frightening conditions of the grave. May Allah awaken us from this heedlessness!
