The Minor Day of Judgement-AL Mowt

Al-Mowt- Allah Says Three times in Quran “Every soul shall taste death.”

(1) 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. (Aali Imraan: 185)

(2) Every soul shall have a taste of death: and We test you by evil and by good by way of trial. to Us must ye return. (Al-Anbiyaa: 35)

(3) Every soul shall have a taste of death in the end to Us shall ye be brought back.(Al-Ankaboot: 57)

AlBukhari narrates that some Bedouins came and asking the Prophet saws about the Hour. RasulAllah would point at the youngest amongst them and say, “By the time he reaches his old age, your day of judgement will already have started.” When a person is dead, that’s it. He is counted on the other side.

Anas b. Malik reported that a person asked Allah’s Apostle (may peace be upon him): When would the Last Hour come? Thereupon Allah’s Messenger (may peace be upon him) kept quiet for a while. then looked at a young boy in his presence belonging to the tribe of Azd Shanilwa and he said: If this boy lives he would not grow very old till the Last Hour would come to you. Anas said that this young boy was of our age daring those days. (Muslim 41/7052)

There is no way around death. Everyone will die.Everyone on it will die and only the Face of Allah will remain.

Allah subhaana wa ta’aala says: “And call not, besides Allah, on another god. There is no god but He. Everything (that exists) will perish except His own Face. To Him belongs the Command, and to Him will ye (all) be brought back. (Al-Qasas: 88)”

Everyone will die. The term is fixed for death. It is an appointed time. It cannot change. It cannot be later than the appointed time. And no person can ever die, except by Allah’s leave and at an appointed term.

and every nation has an appointed term. When their term comes, neither can they delay it, nor can they advance it.  Allah is telling us not to try to run away from death.

Allah says: “Where so ever you may be, death will overtake you, even if you are in fortresses built up strong and high.”

Allah tells us a story of some people who tried to run away from death: "Oh! how shall Allah bring it (ever) to life, after (this) its death?"(Al-Baqara: 259)

Umm Habibah (the wife of RasulAllah) made a du’aa`. She said, “O Allah, give me pleasure by giving a long life to my husband RasulAllah and to my father Abu Sufyan and my brother Mu’awiyah.” RasulAllah said to her: “You are supplicating towards Allah in regards to fixed terms and counted days and ordained provisions that are already divided. If you would have asked Allah to save you from the Hell Fire and the punishment of the fire, that would have been better for you.” (Muslim)
