The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) exemplified immense patience in the face of adversity, teaching that it holds great importance in faith. Muslims are reminded to embrace patience, trusting in Allah’s reward for their steadfastness.

So be patient indeed the promise of Allah is truth

Islamic Quotes on Death

In life, one of the most challenging truths we face is the inevitability of death, not only for our loved ones but also for ourselves. The Quran, in Surah Baqarah Ayat 156, reminds us that when calamity befalls us, we should acknowledge that we belong to Allah and shall return to Him. This verse serves as a powerful reminder of our mortality, prompting us to redirect our focus and efforts toward what truly matters. Often, we become oblivious to the limited time we have on this earth, getting entangled in distractions.

In Islam, death is not the end but a transition to another form of life. This worldly existence is a test, and death marks its conclusion. It becomes our responsibility to ensure that before this test concludes, we have strived to do all that is necessary to succeed, just like a test with no possibility of cheating.

21. Indeed, the death from which you flee – indeed, it will meet you. Then you will be returned to the Knower of the unseen and the witnessed, and He will inform you about what you used to do.
Surah Jumuah verse 8

22. Allah causes you to live, then causes you to die; then He will assemble you for the Day of Resurrection, about which there is no doubt, but most of the people do not know.

The Last Hour will be most bitter and terrible.
