Description
A sobering reminder about the reality of death and the moment when a person realises their time has come.
**There is one moment you cannot escape. No matter who you are.**
Young or old. Rich or poor. Muslim or non-Muslim. Righteous or sinful. Every one of us will face the reality of death.
In this powerful reminder, Abu Mussab reflects on the words of Allaah in Soorat Qaaf:
*“And the intoxication of death will bring the truth. That is what you were trying to avoid.”*
— Qur’aan 50:19
Why does Allaah describe the agonies of death as *sakaraat*? And what happens when a person reaches the final moments of their life?
Abu Mussab explains how the dying person comes face to face with a reality that can no longer be avoided. In Soorat Al-Qiyaamah, Allaah describes the moment when the soul reaches the collarbones, people desperately ask who can help, and the dying person realises that the time of separation has arrived.
We spend our lives trying to avoid death, protecting ourselves from danger and making plans for tomorrow. Yet none of us knows when our final moment will come.
**Death is not a distant reality reserved for the elderly. It is a certainty awaiting every soul.**
The question is not whether we will face death, but whether we are preparing for what comes after it.
May Allaah grant us a good ending, keep us firm upon the truth, and prepare us for the meeting with Him. Aameen.
