Supposing the Angel of Death came to you today......

Have hope and fear for the next day coming...May Allah forgive us for our shortcomings and grant us a death as a mu'min..Allahoma ameen
 
I would do as I do everyday, live a virtuous life, but I'd add an extra prayer, which would be, "Please, God, I've been a good person, you gave me Iman and a most wonderful life, but it's been hard seeing other people suffer from being ruled under lousy leaders. And, I haven't been able to get them back for what they've done; I've been waiting for Your help, so either extend my life to do more good, or if it's a must that you take me in death, then please let me bring all the corrupted leaders with me so I can see You throw them in hell!"

innalilahwainailahirajiun

after knowing that the last moments are near firstly my sins and mistakes done intentionally or unintentionally would remind me of the punishment but remembering how merciful my Allah is would obviously give me hope my heart would start praying OH ALLAH! i want to meet you in jannah!OH Allah let me with those people in jannah who will get the opportunity to see you every friday..
then i will forgive every one who hated me or loved me did good or bad with me... and will ask forgiveness from every one on my bad acts ever i did with them..
and will try to make prayers and read Quran as much i can i wish when the angel of death comes to me to take my soul i m reading Quran or i m in a prayer.. so that when i will be waken up again i would face my Allah with my heart and lips reciting the verses of Quran
 
I would first be shocked but happy at the same time. I'd tell my family and close friends about it, although they probably wouldn't believe me :P
Until my last breath, I'd like to remember my Lord and leave this world by saying the shahada.

I consider the life of this world a big prison. I despise it and I know that the Hereafter is far better. If the Angel of Death were to come to me today and inform me that I have just one day left to live, I'd be super happy. What joy to think that I'm going to be freed from this prison and fly like a bird to a place of Eternal Pleasure, Peace and Happiness?! No more worrying, no more stress, no more getting tired, falling sick and no more struggle. "Alhamdulillah!" I would say to the Angel of Death. I would spend my day in thankfulness to Allah, repentance and beseeching Him for forgiveness. And I would desire that when the Angel of Death finally comes to take my soul, my last words be, "Ashadu an la ilaha il Allah, Muhammaddar Rasul Allah! Rabbi ighfirlee!"

I wud be happy, honestly. I wud love to meet my Creator, my Lord. I wud do much praying to thank Him and much seeking forgiveness too coz i know i can never repay Allah for all He given me. I wud shed tears of happiness and also tears of grief becoz I wud be leaving my loved ones behind. I wud place much hope in allah's mercy. I wud also spend some part of my day paying off debts to anyone i owed money. I wud also ask people to forgive me if i done any wrong to them. And i would ask my family members and children to pray to allah that He forgive me after I am gone.

you do know that you wont be able to meet Allah right after death? Not till you get into Jannah when Allah will remove the veil. Till then we cant say that death = meeting Allah.

First of all I do not think Angel of death will come and tell me that he will come tomorrow to take my soul. Why? because no one knows the time of death except Allah. Angel of death is then breaking the word of Allah by telling me that I will die tomorrow when I have only 1 day to live. What is the point of doing that? Where is angel of death right now? I dont think he has any control over his will.

In Islam, angel of death comes, takes the soul/human physically dies, takes the soul to heaven, human is buried in meanwhile or burnt to ashes, and then soul is returned in the grave and questions are asked and the soul remains in human body within the grave till Qiyama. I do not know what happens to the soul of those who get their corpses burnt after dying and get them spread into the wilderness such as the Rockies. And I also do not know if Munqir and Naqeer ask such ppl the questions of the 'grave" since there is no grave to begin with.

I will have nothing to ask him if he comes, for he comes without telling and goes without telling within picoseconds.

This answer seems to assume you'll be going straight to Jannah... Which seems to be a dangerous assumption to make. :p

I guess you forgot the part where I said I would repent and ask for Allah's forgiveness and die testifying to the truth la ilaha il Allah, Muhammaddar Rasul Allah.

I never assume that I would be going straight to Jannah. If I do go, it is purely by the mercy of Allah, in which I place my hope.

Aren't we supposed to have more hope in Allah's mercy when we are nearing our end?
 
I would spend my day happy I suppose but this is a tough question of course.

When a believer is about to depart this world, angels with white faces come down from the heavens and say:

“O peaceful soul, come out to forgiveness from God and His pleasure.” (Hakim and others)

The believer will look forward to meeting his Creator, as the Prophet, may the mercy and blessings of God be upon him, explained:

“…when the time of the death of a believer approaches, he receives the good news of God’s pleasure with him and His blessings upon him, and so at that time nothing is dearer to him than what lies ahead of him. He therefore loves meeting God, and God loves meeting him.” (Saheeh Al-Bukhari)

The soul peacefully passes out of the body like a drop of water which emerges from a water-skin, and the angels take hold of it:

The angels gently extract it, saying:

“…Do not fear and do not grieve, but receive good tidings of the Paradise which you were promised. We were your allies in this worldly life and [are so] in the Hereafter, and you will have therein whatever your souls desire, and you will have therein whatever you request [or wish], as a hospitality from the Forgiving and Merciful.” (Quran 41:30-32)

Once extracted from the body, the angels wrap the soul in a shroud smelling of musk and ascend up to the heavens. As the Gates of Heaven open for the soul, the angels greet it:

“A good soul has come from the earth, may God bless you and the body you used to dwell in.”

…introducing it with the best names it was called with in this life. God commands his “book” to be recorded, and the soul is returned back to earth.

The soul then remains in a place of limbo in its grave, called the Barzakh, awaiting the Day of Judgment. Two fearsome, dread-inspiring angels called Munkar and Nakeer visit the soul to ask it about its religion, God, and prophet. The believing soul sits upright in its grave as God grants it the strength to answer the angels with full faith and certainty.[1]

Munkar and Nakeer: “What is your religion?”

Believing soul: “Islam.”

Munkar and Nakeer: “Who is your Lord?”

Believing soul: “Allah.”

Munkar and Nakeer: “Who is your Prophet?” (or “What do you say about this man?”)

Believing soul: “Muhammad.”

Munkar and Nakeer: “How did you come to know these things?”

Believing soul: “I read the Book of Allah (i.e. the Quran) and I believed.”

Then, when the soul passes the test, a voice from the heavens will call out:

“My slave has spoken the truth, supply him with furnishings from Paradise, clothe him from Paradise, and open a gate for him to Paradise.”

The believer’s grave is made roomy and spacious and filled with light. He is shown what would have been his abode in Hell - had he been a wicked sinner - before a portal is opened for him every morning and evening showing him his actual home in Paradise. Excited and full of joyful anticipation, the believer will keep asking: ‘When will the Hour (of Resurrection) come?! When will the Hour come?!’ until he is told to calm down.[2]

As death approaches the wicked disbeliever, he is made to feel something of the heat of the Hellfire. This taste of what is to come causes him to plead for a second chance on earth to do the good he knew he should have done. Alas! His pleading will be in vain.

“Until, when death comes to one of them, he says: ‘O my Lord. Send me back to life (on earth) in order that I may do good deeds in the things that I neglected.’ By no means! It is only an utterance that he says. And before them is a barrier (preventing them from returning: the life of the grave) until the Day (of Resurrection) they are ressurected.” (Quran 23:99-100)

Divine wrath and punishment is conveyed to the wicked soul by hideously ugly, dark angels who sit far away from it:

“Receive glad tidings of boiling water, wound discharge, and multiple, similar torments.” (Ibn Majah, Ibn Katheer)

The disbelieving soul will not look forward to meeting its Lord God, as the Prophet explained:

“When the time of the death of a disbeliever approaches, he receives the evil news of God’s torment and His Requital, whereupon nothing is more hateful to him than what is before him. Therefore, he hates the meeting with God, and God too, hates the meeting with him.” (Saheeh Al-Bukhari)

The Prophet also said:

“Whoever loves to meet God, God loves to meet him, and whoever hates to meet God, God hates to meet him.” (Saheeh Al-Bukhari)

The Angel of Death sits at the head of the disbeliever in his grave and says: “Wicked soul, come out to the displeasure of Allah” as he snatches the soul out of the body.

“And if you could but see when the wrongdoers are in the overwhelming pangs of death while the angels extend their hands, saying, ‘Save yourselves! Today you will be awarded the punishment of extreme humiliation for what you used to say against God other than the truth, and that you were, toward His verses, being arrogant.” (Quran 6:93)

“And if you could not see when the angels take the souls of those who disbelieved… striking their faces and their backs and saying, ‘Taste the punishment of the Blazing Fire.’” (Quran 8:50)

The evil soul leaves the body with great difficulty, drawn out by the angels as a thronged skewer is dragged through wet wool.[1] The Angel of Death then seizes the soul and puts it in a sack woven from hair which gives off a putrid stench, as foul and offensive as the most foul-smelling rotting corpse found on earth. The angels then take the soul up past another company of angels who inquire: “Who is this wicked soul?” to which they reply: “So and so, the son of so and so?” - using the very worst of names that he was ever called during his time on earth. Then, when he is brought to the lowest heaven, a request is made that its gate be opened for him, but the request is denied. Whilst the Prophet was describing these events, when he reached this point, he recited:

“The gates of heaven will not be opened for them and they will not enter paradise until a camel can pass through the eye of a needle.” (Quran 7:40)

God will say: “Record his book in Sijjeen in the lowest earth.”

…and his soul is cast down. At this juncture, the Prophet, may the mercy and blessings of God be upon him, recited:

“He who assigns partners to Allah is as if he had fallen down from heaven and been snatched up by the birds, or made to fall by the wind in a place far distant.” (Quran 22:31)

The wicked soul is then restored to its body and the two fearsome, dread-inspiring angels, Munkar and Nakeer, come to it for its interrogation. After making him sit up, they ask:

Munkar and Nakeer: “Who is your Lord?”

Disbelieving soul: “Alas, alas, I do not know.”

Munkar and Nakeer: “What is your religion?”

Disbelieving soul: “Alas, alas, I do not know.”

Munkar and Nakeer: “What do you say about this man (Muhammad) sent to you?”

Disbelieving soul: “Alas, alas I do not know.”

Having failed his test, the disbeliever’s head will be struck with an iron hammer with a force so violent that it would crumble a mountain. The cry will be heard from heaven: “He has lied, so spread out carpets of Hell for him, and open for him a portal into Hell.”[2] The floor of his grave is thus set alight with some of Hell’s fierce fire, and his grave is made narrow and constricted to the extent that his ribs become intertwined as his body is crushed.[3] Then, an incredibly ugly being, wearing ugly garments and giving off a foul and offensive odor comes to the disbelieving soul and says: “Be grieved with what displeases you, for this is your day which you have been promised.” The disbeliever will ask: “Who are you, with your face so ugly and bringing evil?” The ugly one will reply: “l am your wicked deeds!” The disbeliever is then made to taste bitter remorse as he is shown what would have been his abode in Paradise - had he lived a righteous life - before a portal is opened for him every morning and evening showing him his actual home in Hell.[4] Allah mentions in His Book how the wicked people of Pharaoh are, at this very moment, suffering from such an exposure to Hell from within their graves:

“The Fire: they are exposed to it, morning and afternoon, and on the Day when the Hour will be established (it will be said to the angels): ‘(Now) cause Pharaoh’s people to enter the severest torment!’” (Quran 40:46)

Overcome with fear and loathing, anxiety and despair, the disbeliever in his grave will keep asking: “My Lord, do not bring the last hour. Do not bring the last hour.”

The Companion, Zaid b. Thabit, narrated how, when the Prophet Muhammad and his Companions were once passing some graves of polytheists, the Prophet’s horse bolted and almost unseated him. The Prophet, may the mercy and blessings of God be upon him, then said:

“These people are being tortured in their graves, and were it not that you would stop burying your dead, I would ask God to let you hear the punishment in the grave which I (and this horse) can hear.” (Saheeh Muslim)

Ah, but you're overlooking the point I raised in the previous page. Who's to say your repentance would be accepted given your hypothetical scenario? Chances are it won't be...

If the Angel of Death were to come to me today and inform me that I have just one day left to live, I'd be super happy. What joy to think that I'm going to be freed from this prison and fly like a bird to a place of Eternal Pleasure, Peace and Happiness?!

^That's the part I was referring to when I mentioned it seemed like you were assuming Jannah... Especially in this hypothetical scenario, it would seem odd for anyone to feel overjoyed and to think their meeting with the Angel implied paradise...

(I should clarify that I'm just having some fun and going along with the hypothetical scenario. I know it's not meant to be taken seriously. :p )
