I am scared of death. Every time i remember death i say astagfurillah 1000 times so that i try to keep as far as away from hell ... i am scared of death because I fear allah of my past sins and i might get punished

Salaam.

Sometimes I dream about how I'd like to die in certain situations. But then after a while I get tired of working up scenes so pleasant... and it occurs to me that no matter what the time or place, death will never be easy.

Just the thought of the Angel of Death and how it will look is terrifying enough!

Good point....

I would be scared of death.....But I fear the punnishment of the grave etc.

Like RasoolAllah(SAW) once said, there were 2 brothers that became Muslims. One died as a shaheed and the other died a few months later.

RasoolAllah(SAW) said the brother that died later will enter Jannah first before the shaheed, the reason for this is because the brother had more time to do more deeds (e.g. Hajj siyaam etc.)

[IbnAbdulHakim]

Sahih Bukhari

Volume 2, Book 23, Number 423:
Narrated Abu Huraira:

The angel of death was sent to Moses and when he went to him, Moses slapped him severely, spoiling one of his eyes. The angel went back to his Lord, and said, "You sent me to a slave who does not want to die." Allah restored his eye and said, "Go back and tell him (i.e. Moses) to place his hand over the back of an ox, for he will be allowed to live for a number of years equal to the number of hairs coming under his hand." (So the angel came to him and told him the same). Then Moses asked, "O my Lord! What will be then?" He said, "Death will be then." He said, "(Let it be) now." He asked Allah that He bring him near the Sacred Land at a distance of a stone's throw. Allah's Apostle (p.b.u.h) said, "Were I there I would show you the grave of Moses by the way near the red sand hill."

well while we certainly cant slap death in the face, we can at least do all we can to try make sure that he is gentle wiv us. I heard that the prophet saws said the one who is good thruout his life will hav a gentle death as though the soul drips out the body like the water of a watersking and the man who is evil thruout his life will have a death of that as tho a man is being dragged out his body painfully as the cotton is slowly dragged thru thorns... (i believe i gave my hadith quote in another post, inshaAllah i'll post it later)

mashallah bro mazed...well explained....

[Snowflake]

I think I'm scared of the punishments after death, rather than death itself. There are times when I actually want to die. Especially during salah when I'm so absorbed in my awareness of Allah, I just want my whole being to disintergrate on the prayer mat in that state. Hope I die doing something that pleases Allah, InshaAllah. Oh, I hope we all die like that. Ameen.

[shaharoun]

Death,death,death..........Actually no one can escape rom it,No matter where
you are,who are you,one day Angle of death must visit you for the purpose of
separating your soul from your body.No one can be completely firm on that incidence.We all have to seek refuge from Allah.The bad death indicate bad life in the grave then abode in the hell fire.
we have to prepare for it,keep on remembering it is the way of thinking about preparation.
See the Hadith below:
Narrated 'Aisha: (the wife of the Prophet) Allah's Apostle used to invoke Allah in the prayer saying "Allahumma inni a'udhu bika min adhabil-qabri, wa a'udhu bika min fitnatil-masihid-dajjal, wa a'udhu bika min fitnatil-mahya wa fitnatil-mamati. Allahumma inni a'udhu bika minal-ma thami wal-maghrami. (O Allah, I seek refuge with You from the punishment of the grave and from the afflictions of Masi,h Ad-Dajjal and from the afflictions of life and Death. O Allah, I seek refuge with You from the sins and from being in debt)." Somebody said to him, "Why do you so frequently seek refuge with Allah from being in debt?" The Prophet replied, "A person in debt tells lies whenever he speaks, and breaks promises whenever he makes (them)." 'Aisha also narrated: I heard Allah's Apostle in his prayer seeking refuge with Allah from the afflictions of Ad-dajjal. (Sahih Bukhari Book #12, Hadith #795)

i am afraid of death, but i have to say that i am more afraid of what might happen to me after death, like punishment of the grave and hell.....a'oozobillah!!!

May Allah forgive us all of our sins- the big and the ones that we see as small.

Ameen

[Nawal89]

i'm afraid of death at the same time i'm looking foward to it. Most things start after death. But what if i'm not prepared for that? It scares me.

[Muslimaatan]

Death is not something to be afraid of if ur a good muslim..i guess the only reason 2 be afraid of death is cuz ur not ready to meet Allah yet..need 2 do more 3ebadah, and TAWBAH!! we have this play wer'e doin in skool, about death..n wer'e usin the nasheed layal ghareeb..n actin it..i couldnt stop cryin wen we were practicin..it makes u think...Subhaana Allah

[786rani]

[mirage41]

I'm afraid of death. Mainly because I'm afraid the Mormon religion might end up being the correct one. *shivers*

[Inshallah]

No doubht i am because i'm not prepared for death yet and when i am prepared: death will give me an dawat which i'll gracefully accept.

[E'jaazi]

I am afraid of death because I fear the Judgement of Allah. I keep thinking I have time to get myself together and worship as I should or as the Salaf worshipped in the time of the Prophet (Salallahu Alayhe wa Sallam). But I know that Allah can take my soul at anytime, and I never feel as though I have done enough good deeds to tip the scale in my favor or to be given my book of deeds in my right hand. May Allah guide us all to righteous deeds and save us from the fire! Ameen!

[extinction]

Death is not something to be afraid of if ur a good muslim

How many of us can actually say we are good muslims? In my opinion almost no one ....

i'm really scared of death because i fear Allah will punish me for past sins.

Allah merciful and almighty let's hope he forgives us all.

Ameen

[snakelegs]

i don't think i'm afraid of death, but i am afraid of prolonged illness, pain, loss of control and dependence. that's really scary.
