The Angel of Death
Imam Ḥasan Baṣrī said, “When the Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم mentioned the agonies of death and how it lingers in an individual’s throat, he said, ‘This pain is equal to 300 strikes of a sword.’”[1]
It is further mentioned in another hadith, “A very easy death is like a thorny twig stuck in wool; when the twig is extracted, some wool will certainly come with it.”[2]
Imam Ghazālī رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ عَـلَيْه details:
The agonies of death directly affect the soul and then spread to the entire body. The soul is pulled from every vein, muscle, joint, hair and pore, head to toe. Do not ask of how painful this is. Pious elders have said this is more intense than the strike of a sword, the piercing of an awl, and the cutting of scissors.[3]
Imam Awzāʿī رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ عَـلَيْه said, “It has been relayed to us that the pain of death stays with a person from their death until the Day of Judgement.”[4]
الامان والحفیظ الامان والحفیظ
O those who love Allah’s Messenger! What will happen to us at that time? Our death comes closer every second, as does our grave.
Just imagine for a moment; you are holding your faith against your chest as tightly as you can, protecting it from anything and everything. From one side, the nafs ammārah is attacking your faith, whilst on the other, Satan makes plan after plan to ruin it. This is not all.
