Death words!

Allah has decreed death and while it's hard no doubt to accept that reality and especially when it happens to someone close yet we have to accept that otherwise Faith is in crisis as fate and Faith are related. They are so related that one is like the breath and the other the lung.

The Quran says every soul will taste death. However the wisdom behind this is to test us who is better is good works.

3:185 Every soul shall have a taste of death: And only on the Day of Judgment shall you be paid your full recompense. Only he who is saved far from the Fire and admitted to the Garden will have attained the object (of Life): For the life of this world is but goods and chattels of deception.

The Prophet on whom be peace says that Death is a gift for the Believer. This is what gives us solace in the time of grief. That while we are attached so much to something so lovely and beautiful yet when it leaves it was meant to leave. Rather when it leaves us it goes to to place waiting for us for a better life eventually and that is heaven. So death is a gift for those who believe.
