Why do we dislike death??

As-salamu alaykum,

So true, when you speak about death many people DON'T want to talk about it, they'll try everything in their power to evade the topic. I remember before Allah (s.w.t.) gave me guidance I used to hate it when people discussed about death, like as if Shaytan was whispering inside me "Get out of this place, you don't want to listen to this", but in fact this is something NO one can escape! Ironically it is the thing which is least spoken of.


Every soul will taste death, and you will only be given your [full] compensation on the Day of Resurrection. So he who is drawn away from the Fire and admitted to Paradise has attained [his desire]. And what is the life of this world except the enjoyment of delusion. [3:185]

JazakAllah khairan for the video and reminder, may Allah (s.w.t.) guide us all to the straight path.

Salam 3laikum

Ameen .

It may have to do with the fact that we haven't prepared well enough for the Aakhirah.

Honestly, I think the fear of death stems primarily from the fear of the unknown. No matter what your beliefs are, I think we can admit that nobody truly knows what happens after you die, and this is frightening to most people.

[Muhaba]

^no, that is not true. i think it's because the human souls knows what will happen after death so the person is afraid of dying. and no matter how difficult or painful life may become, one doesn't want to die. on the other hand, those who are very righteous are not that afraid of dying.

another thing is that our belief should be so strong that we should never think that one doesn't know what will happen after death. It's true that we may not know exactly what will happen to any particular person since their condition in the grave depends on whether they have been righteous and on the right Path or not, but still we do know what will happen in general.

i think people are afraid as it is painful

[Cabdullahi]

We dislike death to such an extent that Ephemeral Paradise did not win the story contest, even though it was the most complete story amongst the other stories, in terms of structure, quantity of different things happening all fitted in to meet the 5000 word constraint, the message being put forth which will undoubtedly enlighten folks, and last but not least, the quality of writing, save the minor grammatical and punctuation errors.

I suppose i hate death too since it didn't get my vote. May Allah guide us to the straight path.

I guess we dislike it Cuz we're not prepared for it. Buh those who are subhanAllah those who are not afraid of it, look at them they're ready to give they're lives for Allah...

[iRock]

Yes , but only when Allah want you to do it , but in my opinion , not a lot of time he want us to do it . All of us some day will die , but die for the best way , the best way , not a awful way .
