Death is one of the things many people fear the most. In such people's eyes, death is the end of everything. They are unaware of the reality of the life of the hereafter. They are thus strongly attached to the life of this world and imagine that they will lose everything when they die for which reason they refuse to reflect on it. The fact is however that death will come at the time and in the form God wills. Nobody has the power to postpone or advanced this. The Prophet recommended that people think about death and the true life to follow.

''Those who are most aware of death and prepare themselves for it. They are the wisest of people.''
