Page 301 - Learning from the Qur'an

You were longing for death before you met it. Now you have seen
it with your own eyes and you look (at it). (Qur'an, 3:143)
Those who believe say, 'If only a sura could be sent down.'But
when a straightforward sura is sent down and fighting is
mentioned in it,you see those with sickness in their hearts looking
at you with the look of someone about to faint from fear of
death.More fitting for them… (Qur'an, 47:20)

THE BELIEVERS DESIRE TO DIE AS MUSLIMS
You are only avenging yourself on us because we believed in our
Lord's Signs when they came to us. Our Lord, pour down
steadfastness upon us and take us back to You as Muslims.'
(Qur'an, 7:126)
My Lord, You have granted power to me on earth and taught me
the true meaning of events. Originator of the heavens and earth,
You are my Friend in this world and the Next. So take me as a
Muslim at my death and join me to the people who are righteous.'
(Qur'an, 12:101)
Say: 'My prayer and my rites, my living and my dying, are for
Allah alone, the Lord of all the worlds, (Qur'an, 6:162)

ALLAH DOES NOT ACCEPT THE REPENTANCE
OF THOSE WHO DO NOT BELIEVE,
YET WHO REPENT WHEN THE MOMENT
OF DEATH COMES
There is no repentance for people who persist in doing evil until
death comes to them and who then say, 'Now I repent,' nor for
people who die while they are unbelievers. We have prepared for
them a painful punishment. (Qur'an, 4:18)

ALLAH WILL PUNISH THOSE WHO DIE AS UNBELIEVERS
As for those who do not believe and die while they are unbelievers,
the whole earth filled with gold would not be accepted from any
of them if they were to offer it as a ransom. They will have a painful
punishment. They will have no helpers. (Qur'an, 3:91)
