Throughout the Qur’an, Allah describes the situation of death in a number of places:

“Verily it is we who give life and death; and to us is the final goal.” -The Holy Qur’an 50:43

 

“Say: ‘It is Allah Who gives you life, then gives you death; then He will gather you together for the Day of Judgment about which there is no doubt.’ But most men do not understand. One day we all will return to meet our creator Allah…subhanahu wa ta’ala (“May He be Glorified and Exalted”). As you are reading this please think and ponder how you have prepared for the moment when the angel of death will come. It is human nature not to think about this moment or prepare for it but as Allah says in surah Ankaboot Surah 20: Verse 57.” -The Holy Qur’an 45:26
