Remember Death and Life Motivation
It is told in a hadith that "when Allah is in existence pulls out the spirit of a believer, an angel of death (Izrail) comes from the direction of his mouth to carry out Allah's iradat, then dhikr comes out and says:
There is no way for you from this direction, because the remembrance of Allah always crosses the mouth.
So, the angel of death moved towards the hand, but the hand of the believer refused, because he was always used to extend alms, love orphans, write knowledge and take up weapons of fighting fighting to defend the religion of Allah.
Furthermore, the angel of death glanced at his feet, but whether the power of the legs also refused, the reason is that the feet are often used to walk to attend congregational prayers, Friday prayers, meetings of the taklim assembly, wirid at night etc.
Likewise, his ears are often used to listen to the recitation of the Koran, listen to advice about goodness, etc.
Finally, the angel of death wanted to pull his spirit out of the eye, but the eye also refused, the reason was always used to pay attention and observe the greatness of God, to see God's books and other good views. (Duratun Nasihin).
From various directions in the bodies of believers who always do good deeds and determine goodness, the angel of death has a very difficult time bringing out his spirit.
Finally Allah ordered the angel to write down His asthma, smacking his hand, to be shown to the spirit of the believer. So, the power of God who has the spirit is added to the love of the spirit for God.
So, he can get out of the body easily. That is the work process of the angel of death in taking a life, if the body is full of goodness, godliness, solid faith, etc.
So, even the person who takes the life will be confused to separate him from the body, it is because of Allah's permission that anything can happen. Then what about the infidels who are always deniers, hypocrites and even atheists?
Clearly, Izrafil was very happy to separate the spirit from the body, because there was no obstacle that made him complain to God.
Death, or death, is the absolute provision of Allah Aza Wajalla for all living creatures. Death is scary, even if it's just a matter of talk. But actually talking / discussing about death in all its conditions will give a very strong sign, it will even leave a very deep mark.
Of course in this case it must be done continuously and seriously. Remember that death is very beneficial to further increase our deeds of worship to Allah in the times to come. In Islam, the earth and its contents, including the spirit and human body, are absolutely the property of God.
So, when the one who has the spirit wants to transfer it to another world, no one from any nation or group has the power to block it, even though the body and spirit are placed in a strong fortress. So, we shouldn't lament too much and cry over things that don't belong to us.
We should be aware and weep, what preparations have we prepared to welcome the death? Why do we often ignore every obligation that Allah imposes for our own good, even if we deliberately leave it? This question must always be asked of each of us.
Obviously, all of this belongs to Allah and will definitely return to Allah in a very secretive period, both in the form of goodness (heaven) and in the form of evil (hell).
This life is a vast wilderness, so we often hear, a wilderness where we achieve all our desires, that's how human beings are created, they have many desires, all of which are generally guided by a necessity that is created, must be successful in all matters and fields, must be happy and physically and mentally. must-have to be different.
Unfortunately, how many people have been successful, but forget that in fact success is a gift from God. Finally, the success and fame that they get often drag the person down, the wrong way, arrogant, arrogant, greedy, greedy, even like to be abusive and arbitrary.
If this kind of behavior thrives in the heart, various forms of abuse will flourish everywhere. Whereas Islam as the only teaching that instructs its people to apply tawadu 'by always forging brotherhood between mankind is increasingly being neglected day by day.
Riots here and there, hatred that never goes away, children are angry with their parents, parents who are no longer willing to accept their child's presence, etc.
Is this what Islam has taught us so far? In addition, our officials are increasingly busy managing their offices, while the interests of the people are increasingly being neglected, prices for basic necessities are increasing, poverty and unemployment are increasing and so on.
In fact, in the current situation and condition, it is easy for the government to say that this is all the result of various disasters that occur, how come disasters are blamed, aren't calamities and disasters sent down by Allah due to the actions of humans and even the officials themselves?
Disasters can be minimized only by avoiding all kinds of causes. This debate will never end if each person is not willing to reflect on what he has done for the preservation of this nature, self-correcting and must fear only Allah alone.
To fear Allah is to be truly afraid. Allah says ". O you who believe, fear Allah, you truly taqwa (fear) Him, and do not ever die other than in a Muslim state ”. (Surah Ali Imran-102). So, it is clear that this intense fear of Allah will give birth to the value of true faith and devotion.
Dzikrul maut is very beneficial for us, so that there are reminders and self-admonishment when we start falling into the wrong path in pursuing life goals. It is in this whole purpose and task of life that each person will find many temptations, seductions, obstacles and obstacles.
The first temptation to be on the lookout for comes from the Devils and Satanists, who are currently more and more in the form of humans through tricks, seductions and big talk. Allah Almighty confirmed ". Every one who is alive will feel death ... (Surah Ali Imran-185).
That's why he always reminded him. " Do more to remember the destroyer of pleasure (death). Because death must separate a person from anything and whoever he likes, and throws anyone into a hole the size of a body that is pitch black. "
Writers, readers and all of us without exception, are currently waiting for our turn to go to that narrow and pitch black hole, and only good deeds will be able to widen and light our way to His presence.
In essence, remembering to die is very important to contemplate, but sometimes don't encourage the birth of a life motivation to be even more active in goodness, hasten repentance, reduce istiqfar, stay away from despicable behavior and keep trying to always raise points of the scales of charity in any field. according to ability.
If something like this can be implemented in everyday life. So the great benefits of doing dhikrul death, like the beginning of the discussion above, we can already pocket, so that the release of the spirit from the body, God willing, will be smooth and not too heartbreaking. Allah Hu A'llam.
