21. Keeping death in mind

In any society, no topic is more basic and thought pro-
voking than death. However although people witness other
people’s death, they rarely think about their inevitable end.
Instead, they prefer to avoid thinking about it by trying to
convince themselves that they will never die. They never
mention it and spend their lives in great heedlessness:
Say: “Death, from which you are fleeing, will certainly
catch up with you. Then you will be returned to the
Knower of the Unseen and the Visible, and He will
inform you about what you did.” (Surat al-Jumu‘a: 8)
On the other hand, believers often think about death
and, knowing that they will give an account of their deeds,
act in a way that pleases Allah. For those who are starting
to learn about religious morality and coming to know Allah,
the knowledge that they may die at any time and place
raise their awareness and cause them to live a pure and
religiously moral life.
Thus, it is essential to make people think about death,
as it will make them understand the transtitory nature of life
and embrace the religion.
