As a Muslim it is quite natural that every day you remember death. You think of the very reality that one day definitely you would die. Everyone believes this. Everyone accepts this truth. Death is inevitable; this is also a belief of a disbeliever (kafir). However, as a Muslim our perspective is far different than others. ---- "Who is the most intelligent and careful person?"
Hazrat Ibne Umar (Radiyallahi~A nhu) says: "I was one among ten people who came into the presence of Prophet (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam). One Ansari stood up and asked Prophet (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam): "Who is the most intelligent and careful person?" Prophet (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) replied: "Those people who remember death most and prepare for it most. These are people who have excelled in the nobility of this world and the honour of the hereafter." [Reported by Ibne Abud Dunyaa and Tabraani in Jaamizlos Sagheer with a good chain of narration. Ibne Maajah has reported it briefly with a good chain of narration as it appears in Targheeb. ]
