The Death Of A Sincere Believer

إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ قَالُوا۟ رَبُّنَا ٱللَّهُ ثُمَّ ٱسْتَقَٰمُوا۟ تَتَنَزَّلُ عَلَيْهِمُ ٱلْمَلَٰٓئِكَةُ أَلَّا تَخَافُوا۟ وَلَا تَحْزَنُوا۟ وَأَبْشِرُوا۟ بِٱلْجَنَّةِ ٱلَّتِى كُنتُمْ تُوعَدُونَ

Indeed, those who have said, “Our Lord is Allāh” and then remained on a right course – the angels will descend upon them, [saying], “Do not fear and do not grieve but receive good tidings of Paradise, which you were promised.

(Fussilat 41:30)

This Ayat explains the glad tidings of the believer during death. Here, the believer is the one who believes in Allaah (ﷻ), and worship Him alone, and believes in the Islamic monotheism, stands firm on the religion, obeys His commandments, shuns what He forbade and strives harder to attain the love of his Lord.

Attaining this level is not an easy task to the hypocrites, and it is also not attained by wishful thinking.

A believer is tested in many ways and comes across lots of temptations in life, but the reward at the end is receiving glad tidings of Jannah from the Angels; this alone will make you forget all the trials of life.

So why don’t you strive to be among those the Angels will give this great news of paradise.

According to Ibn Kathir,

It was said that the angels will come down to them on the Day when they are brought out of their graves.

Zayd bin Aslam said,

“They will give him glad tidings when he dies, in his grave, and when he is resurrected.”

This was recorded by Ibn Abi Hatim, and this view reconciles all the opinions; it is a good view and it is true.

In the next Ayat Allaah (ﷻ) says;

نَحْنُ أَوْلِيَآؤُكُمْ فِى ٱلْحَيَوٰةِ ٱلدُّنْيَا وَفِى ٱلْءَاخِرَةِۖ وَلَكُمْ فِيهَا مَا تَشْتَهِىٓ أَنفُسُكُمْ وَلَكُمْ فِيهَا مَا تَدَّعُونَ

We [angels] were your allies in worldly life and [are so] in the Hereafter. And you will have therein whatever your souls desire, and you will have therein whatever you request [or wish]

(Fussilat 41:31)

Ibn Kathir explained this Ayat in his tafsir,

نَحْنُ أَوْلِيَاوُكُمْ فِي الْحَيَاةِ الدُّنْيَا وَفِي الاْخِرَةِ

We have been your friends in the life of this world and are (so) in the Hereafter.

means, the angels will say to the believers when death approaches:

“We have been your friends, i.e., your close companions, in this world, protecting you and helping you by the command of Allaah, and we will be with you in the Hereafter, keeping you from feeling lonely in your graves and when the Trumpet is blown; we will reassure you on the Day of Resurrection and will take you across the Sirat and bring you to the Gardens of delight.”

وَلَكُمْ فِيهَا مَا تَشْتَهِي أَنفُسُكُمْ

Therein you shall have (all) that your souls desire,

means, `in Paradise you will have all that you wish for and that will delight you.’

وَلَكُمْ فِيهَا مَا تَدَّعُونَ

and therein you shall have (all) for which you ask.

means, `whatever you ask for, it will appear before you as you wish it to be.’

Brothers and sisters, we should put more effort to please Allaah (ﷻ) so as to gain His rewards and pleasure.

May Allaah (ﷻ) make us among those who will receive this great news during our last breath.
آمين يارب العالمين.
