THIS LIFE IS LIKE A DREAM Eventhough a person had a bad and unpleasant dream, when he wakes up and sees his loving wife with her most beautiful gown, smiling and holding a glass of fresh juice, taking his hand with tender and loving touch, at that moment he would forget all about the bad dream.

For some hadith it is found that life is given preference over death. For example, the hadith in Bukhari and Muslim state Rasulullah s.a.w. said : "None from among you should hope and desire death, because if one is pious, good deeds will increase by longevity, If one is sinful, it is possible one will have the taufiq of repenting". From this it is clear that life is better than death.
The answer to this doubt is that laws differ according to different aspects. During life, good deeds could increase and repentance from sin could also be made, as mentioned in the above hadith. Death is the apposite; but the cause for this preference, is that this life is temporary and lasts for a few days. On the Other hand for some people death saves him from sins and the trials and tribulations in the Deen (religion).
