How do you want to leave this world?

In Shaa Allah, to the contrary, this will be an uplifting subject.

A Poet said;

"When you were born, you were crying and everyone around you was smiling.
Live your life in such a way so that when you die, you are the one who is smiling and everyone around you is crying."

It seems then the question is How do you want to Live in this World?

"You will die the way you lived"

There are those who leave this world while in Salah, in sujuud, getting ready for Salah, returning from Salah, there are those who leave while fasting, some leave as Martyrs. There are those who leave while reciting, listening, teaching the Quran, there are those who leave while helping others. There are those who leave while performing hajj. And so on. How would you like to leave this World?

Remember the 8 gates of Jannah? Another way we can ask this is which gates would you like to enter thru In Shaa Allah?

Please share with us your thoughts, sincere wishes and intentions, so that we may say a Du'aa for you and you say one for us, In Shaa Allah.

May Allah swt accept from us our sincere intentions and make us all - those who live on لَآ اِلٰهَ اِلَّا اللّٰهُ and die on لَآ اِلٰهَ اِلَّا اللّٰهُ Ameen ya Allah.

Allah :swt: knows best.

I think it was Mark Twain who said, "Let us so live that when we come to die, even the undertaker will be sorry."

At Jumma this past week, the Imam talked about working hard for a goal and how it can have side benefits, expected and unexpected. I am working at obeying Allah so that I can go to Jannah. The side benefit will be teaching my child by example, feeding hungry people, and being polite to others. (That's what I can think of now.)

I will make dua for you that you enter Jannah with an easy heart.

To be honest bro death is not something that people (including me) think about often. Subconsiously, we all wish that we can live forever. Our Maker tells us that our life is a fleeting moment in time and the Akhira is the real life Alhamdulilah.

The best way to die is to know that you have dedicated your life to pleasing Allah Subhana Wa Ta'ala and that He will give us goodness in the next life. Dying as mujahadeen paradise is guarenteed, however we human beings are afraid of death. In a strange kind of way death is good for us all. Allahu Alum!

Just simple thing : die as a muslim, making atonement for my sins, and with a perfect state of imaan and deeds -- both toward God and people and other creations of Him.

These following verses are telling us how in the last moments of the Believer,
Angels descend upon him/her giving him/her support and the comfort of glad tidings.
May Allah :swt: make us of those mentioned here;

InshaAllah.

In the path of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala.
In the city of Madinah Munawwarah.
Burial of-course if its Madinah, its Jannat ul Baqi.

Aameen.

Well to leave this world I need to die. So yes death is the exit.
