For those who do not have a firm belief in the Hereafter, for them death is a depressing subject, but for the Believer, death is a subject that motivates, because it puts in perspective what life is really about. It basically puts us on the right course if we are not on it. A strong reminder.
of us, sal Allahu alayhi wa sallam. He said, while dying: None has the right to be worshiped by Allah”(like a way of swearing), “surely, death has its pangs/agonies.”
