Assalamu aleikum,
Some thoughts or questions in connection with life and death.
Can WE decide when our time is out?
Can WE decide HOW we will die?
If the answer is NO – WHO makes these decisions?
Why do some people die in disasters instead of dying in their bed while sleeping?
Why do some die young and others when they have reached an old age?
Do you think Allah, SWT is trying to tell us something when things like this happen?
Can we say that we can conquer death?
If we cannot do anything of these things, does it then not mean that we are submitted to the will of the One that can – Allah, SWT?
And the one that submits can be called a slave or a servant?
This is the teachings of Islam - just take some moments to reflect on these questions...
Wasalam
