I think about death all the time.

The uncertainty scares me, but the promise of peace is soothing.

"Nothing gold can stay." At least not in this world. But maybe in the next.
 
Salam alaykum,
I used to be terrified of dying.I used to have Panic Attacks when I thought about dying(really, I did) I think it is because I was not sure about what would happen to me after I die, would it hurt, and the fear of not knowing..After bringing my sick Mother home and caring for her til she died, my perspective changed alot. My Mother was not a Muslim so It was sad for me me to watch her suffer and die. After she was gone, I really questioned what exactly was important in this life? I was a new Muslim at the time. Personally, I have come to the conclusion that this life is a fleeting moment and all to soon it is gone and u are facing your judgement..Its kinda like this, u know when u have made plans to go somewhere important, and it seems forever til its time, and then suddenly its there and ur at the event, afterwards, u say wow that was really fast. Well, thats how it is with death, before you know it u are there..so u must prepare for it now, we do not know, u could sleep tonight and never wake up. Are u ready to face the judgement if that happens? Pray and ask forgiveness, help others and follow the Sunnah now, while there is time, and then I think u don't have much to worry about. I want to post this song on the site(the words anyway) and u can really get a sense of what it will be like. It is an arabic song and I have the translated version.
Dust is my bed.
Dust is my bed, embraces me and it’s my cover now
The sand surrounds me even behind my back
And the grave tells a dankness of my affliction
And the brightness draws a line……………
Where is my family’s love? They sold my loyalty!
And where is my group of friends? They left my brotherhood!
Where is the bliss of money? It’s behind my back now
And my name (reputation) where is it shine between praises
This is my end and this is my bed

And love farewells its longing and my eulogized cries
And the tears went dry after crying
And the universe became narrow and so is my space
And the grave became my ground and sky
This is my end and this is my bed

Fear fills my estrangement and sadness is my illness
I expect firmness and I swear it’s my cure
And for Allah i pray faithfully, you are my hope
Allah! I desire heaven, to find bliss in it

And for Allah i pray faithfully, you are my hope
Allah! I desire heaven, to find bliss in it
