Understanding Death
Death, talking about death is like talking about tales that will not reach our feet, that will not reach peoples who near us, while as we breath constantly in our life, on that very time death crawling a step further closer to us.
Hasan Basri one of the Islamic scholar once say, there nothing so certain but people act upon it as something uncertain like death. It happen to anyone of us, no one escape from it, and each one of us once in his or her life time must taste it, but we never think or act upon it as something that will happen to us.
A Psychoanalysis, her name is Elizabeth if im not mistaken (well not as popular as Sigmund Freud or Jaques Lacan) once said, when she try to examine on her patient thought about that, each of them think they will live eternally and death will not approach them. This is what peoples believe unconsciously. They afraid of death and treat them as a sickness, as something unnatural. While by the fact it is hard to find the match on the naturality of death.
Death surround us, surrounding our family, surrounding our tv, even surrounding our very ownselves. When we walk at autumn, leafes are falling and scatters everywhere, they are death, each min cell in our body death and being replaced. If death is something so natural and something so necessary that no one will miss the chance of experience it, why we afraid death so much?
Is it simply because we afraid on facing something that we don't know? or is it because something more unconsciously, that we are not well prepare on facing death and our natural instinct afraid the consequences after death itself, the fear of it it come from the knowledge of our inner soul.
When you pass by the cemetery, have you giving yourself to think undoubtedly very logical thought that one day you will be also ending up there, being bury underground? As your physical existence decompose as protein and consume by worm and plant, while your psychological energy are not destroy but it remain in another form of existences? as law of physic in energy stated, the energy cannot be destroy it only transform into another form of energy.
Is there any possibility, the fear of that is base on that cause? Base on your instinct knowledge on what happen after that and they struggle to don't want to face it, because they not yet done what they should done?

Everyone upon the earth will perish, And there will remain the Face of your Lord, Owner of Majesty and Honor. Quran/ Ar-Rahman-26,27.
Whoever we are and whatever we do, we will die as all of the humanbeing. Allah is the most just , whatever happen in this life will be held accountable. Otherwise there would be no meaning of living a life.. So you are right sipatai, we are afraid of death because we are not ready for it, because we dont want to think about it, because many people dont know what will happen when we die.. As a muslim we know that there will be a second life which is eternal. Whether we go to hell or heaven it will be an endless life. The death will be killed so no more soul will die..
So; The intelligent is the one who hold his soul accountable before his death and prepare himself for hereafter, the weak is the one who hopes Allah ( hope heaven and the best) but lets his desires direct him wherever it goes..

Everyday i cant stop to thinking and understanding about death. it's really complicated. i realize death is mistery, certain to come, we cant deny it.
Talking about death is talking about what i believe, that is my religion, as a moslem i have to believe in Al-Quran, the revelation that tell us a lot about death.
Alquran describe what is death,what next step in our period of our life we will through here after, like izroil take our spirit out of our body, what will be happend after that, in cemetery ;darkness and punishment or brightness and reward, how izroil ask us some question about something like who is my Lord? what i have done in my life in the world before?. Can I explaine it all well?. After death we dont know where we are, what we will do, can we meet someone else? family or something we love before?how long time we will waiting for next step of our life? how about the paradise and the hell? We are really really dont know and no imagine about that.
So what the thing make me scare to face death is am i ready for this? how i close my age? with bad things or good things?suul khotimah or khusnul khotimah?
But as a moslem, i have to believe in Quran, that tell us how Allah is mercifull gracious, He will always forgive me if i always ask him to forgive me. it would be make me feel secure always when i thinking about death.
So in this occasion Please accept my apologies as your friend, Ied Mubarok, selamat hari raya idul fitri, wherever you are. Salam.

And when it come, it will not be delay a min or further a min, it will come to anyone of us and take each of us without permition and invitation. No need to seek death, death will seek u. :) assalamualaikum
