Causes of the agonies of death

Dear Islamic brothers! Everyone undergoes the agonies of death according to their deeds. If we spend our life performing good deeds, when death arrives, our soul will be easily removed and مَـعَـاذَ الـلّٰـه عَزَّوَجَلَّ if we commit sins throughout our life, then we will not be able to bear the painful agonies of death.

We think that this land is ours; no! We belong to it because one day we have to become a part of it. Children, friends and relatives know only how to lay down (the body) in the grave, then only deeds will be our companion there. The tears and sorrow of the people of this world will not
