Death can find one anywhere. It wouldn’t be right to hide in houses because one is afraid of death. Everyone should go out as usual.

A person might think he is avoiding bombs, but might get accidentally electrocuted at home. If death is in destiny, it cannot be avoided.

It is very wrong to suggest that schools should be closed or life should stop because of terrorism threat. Death can come anywhere.

We are all moving towards death. Everyone has to prepare with serious effort for the hereafter every day and each passing minute.

Some people assume they will live for all eternity in this world but they will certainly pass away in quite a short period of time.

For Muslims, youth and old age are both blessings. Hypocrites, on the other hand, are terrified of aging and death.

Muslims do not get offended with each other. The heart of a Muslim is always together with God. The world is a short, temporary course, a place of education; this is no place to make a name for oneself, to claim to be superior, to claim to be intelligent and so forth. When observed from outer space, the world looks like a speck of dust. Go further and you cannot even see it anymore. Mankind is only a particle within the speck of dust. A pitiful creature indeed. So from where comes this arrogance? We will soon be dead and gone.

People become obsessed with this world in vain. This world is hollow and a very difficult place of trial. In the end everyone ends up in a coffin.

It is meaningless to look for ugliness. No one is perfect. Even if one is perfect, everyone will eventually die and be buried. Perfection is in Heaven.

The Dajjal movement wants people to consider life as pointless and vain. It wants people to have the sole purpose of getting rich and married or just procreation and watching soccer games, etc. Those people usually live without thinking about the Hereafter, remembering it only on their deathbed.

Even the prettiest, the most beautiful person will decay under the ground [when they are dead]. Life is very short: We thank God for what He gave to us but it would be wrong to get attached to this body. Think about a very beautiful lady: Open her grave years later and you will see only a skeleton; a skull, arms and legs. Or think about all those heroes, the lions of the past: Even their bones are gone now.

Some try to use diseases and death as an argument for the non-existence of God. People with weak intelligence fall into this trap God creates evidence that only intelligent people can notice but those with weak intelligence fall into His trap.

Neither the Last Day nor death would have any aspect that would make Muslims uneasy. It would offend God if Muslims think that they would be persecuted or suffer somehow. That is because God says, "Trust Me, if you are good no harm would ever touch you." Muslims should always think good and well about God.

There is no such thing as the torment of the grave. You pass to a different dimension when you die. At the moment you die, you are made to feel that you are Muslim and you would instantly understand. From that peaceful feeling you feel, from your comfort you instantly get it and God would certainly never persecute His servants. There is no such thing. May God forbid, God is far beyond such an unjust, cruel understanding. He is Infinite Wisdom and Endlessly Compassionate.

There can be no joke regarding religious issues. A Muslim is obliged to reflect on his state at death bed and his state in the Hereafter.

Man is created as very weak. One can die in an instant because of a flu or a sudden decrease in blood pressure.

Every man dies at the time preordained in destiny by God. This is the truth that never changes.

Hypocrites want to pull Muslims away from remembering God by making them fall into blindness. They are adrift in blindness despite the fact that time of death is so close. “Mankind’s Reckoning has drawn very close to them, yet they heedlessly turn away.” (Qur’an, 21/1)

Some people forget about aggrieved Muslims all over the world and fall into blindness by making excuses of worries of making a living. This is relentlessness. Those who fall into blindness worrying over making a living forget that they will leave everything behind with death. They are sort of in a race of blindness.

For one who spent all his life as a Muslim, it would be the whispering of satan to be concerned saying something like, "Would I be able to preserve my faith at the moment of death?" There is no need to take that serious. No such thing would happen. I mean a wholehearted, subconscious faith is the basis. Or else something might happen to one's mind, such whisperings have no validity. God would look at one in all his integrity.

No matter whose, every funeral should be respected. There should be no humiliation in any funeral; once one is dead, once his soul is gone and there is only flesh and bone behind to decompose, it should be respected regardless of who it belongs to.

The longer one remains in this world, the more one might have the means to improve in the spiritual sense. After one passes away, after one goes to Heaven, there would be no need for courage, loyalty and everything else. They only eat and drink and have fun, praise God and become like the angels. That is why being in this world for a long time is rewarding as well; that is because when you remain in this world, you acquire millions of good deeds.

Humans have nothing to be arrogant about. You are a being, made up of flesh and bones and blood, you have natural needs, why is it that you put on airs? You are going to die eventually, why are you putting on an act? And life ends in a very short while. Every dead body bloats and explodes inside the grave. There is nothing for you to put on airs about; humans are piteous beings.

Humans are created very weak. They can easily die, even due to a simple flu.

Death is like waking up from a lucid dream. Once awake, the person is in the Hereafter and there will be no coming back.
