“Every human being is bound to taste death”. This verse appears in the Holy Quran in chapters Al-Imran, Ankabut and
Al-Ambia.
The most appropriate words have been used in the Quran for describing the fact that we will one day die. God is
telling us that the only sure thing in this life is death.
Day to day awareness of death can assist us in living life fully.
As human beings, we spend much of our lives seeking happiness, wealth, health and other luxuries of life, imagining
that they can best be found by ignoring our own mortality. Yet, the Quran has reminded us that everyone is going to
taste death, a simple, un-scary and human way of mentioning the ultimate fact of each individual’s existence on this
earth.
The Quran has discussed, in many chapters the topics of, the day of judgment, life after death and death itself as
guidance for a healthier and more God conscious life in this world. Talking about death will not kill us, but, this talk
and discussion can help us streamline our lives through discipline, honesty and righteousness.
Many a times, the Imam in the mosque would turn towards the congregation before starting the prayer and say, “ Pray
as if this is your last prayer”. The purpose of this prompt is to remind our selves that the flame of life may extinguish
before the arrival of the time for the next obligatory prayer. No one is aware of the time of death. By remembering
death while standing in front of Allah - engaged in prayer we are putting ourselves in a frame of mind that will allow
us to see the positive side of engaging our feelings about death.
While praying we must remain focused, concentrate on submitting to Allah and seek Allah’s forgiveness. The greater
sense of preciousness of life can be experienced by openly engaging our feelings about death. It has been found that
majority of the people don’t want to discuss death.
By saying that every human being will taste death, Allah, is telling us to look at life and reflect on death, not when a
dear one is near death or out of it. He is encouraging us to speak of it while we are in the flower of good health. We
must envision our life by recognizing that it is finite.
An insurance agent, once said “Insurance is all about death; we talk about everything; paying premiums, settling
claims, making payments in hundreds of thousands of dollars, issuing premium default notices, etc, but never mention
death or say if you die, your family gets the insured money. Insurance is all about death “.
The Holy Quran says: “Say, Behold, the death from which you are fleeing is bound to over take you and then you will
be brought back unto Him who knows all that is beyond the reach of a created beings perception as well as all that
can be witnessed by a creatures’ senses or mind, whereupon He will make you truly understand all that you were
doing (in life)”
