Death: the end or the beginning of life

Ust. Faruq

Death is something scary to most people. Even death can be relived memorakporandakan sweetness of life world. He is like a thorn in the throat of man.

Man is not just afraid of dying, but they fear also heard the word grave. If we look at the different cultures of the world, we will find the impression of fear of death.

Let us examine the factor what causes human fear of death. Although there are a handful of humans, rather than fear, instead welcoming his return with a smile.

Why Fear?

There are several factors that cause people to be afraid to die. Which is interpreted, with mortal '.

Naturally every human afraid of nothingness (' adam). He ran away from the hospital because the pain is ' adamus-sihhah [absence of healthy]. Man run from the darkness because the dark is a lack of light and so on. Even humans fear sleeping roommate with the dead. Although the corpse was a friend of his own. But he was happy to sleep with him while still alive. Why is this so? Because death is the absence of life.

Of course, if we interpret the death is finished or the end of everything, then as a result we fear him. On the contrary, if we interpret the budding death of everything, then we will expect it (Ustadz Makarim Syirazi).

Two different views

We see there are two types of human beings. First, people are scared to death. Second, the man who welcomed death gladly. This arises because of their views about the death.

The first are people who do not believe in the existence of the world after death or they believe, but not wholeheartedly. Therefore, they consider the second death is the second parting with everything.

Whereas the second is people who look upon death as the new birth, from the narrow world to the world of the Almighty. The second is very missed. Imam ' Ali Ibn Abi Talib said, "for the sake of Allah, Ali missed the death exceeds the infant misses its mother's milk."

In a Persian poem said:

If the death of a man

Then shall I will call him

Please come!

So I can hug him tightly

Because I will take of it

The eternal spirit

While death will take away from me

Obsolete color scarves

It is not surprising if we see in the history, people such as Imam Husayn and his companions really missed death. Neared their martyrdom, their excitement growing. Their longing to meet more True Lovers are not bearable any more. Their faces more luminous because closer encounter with God.

When Ibn Muljam poison sword Abdurrahman had about the neck of the Imam ' Ali, when for the sake of the ongoing ' Ali is getting worse and more venom revealed his reaction. Companions of Imam become very moved and grieve. They can no longer withstand the drops of tears, even some of them are the screamed hysterically. However, they see the face of ' Ali as radiant and always smiling. He said:

"For the Lord of the Kaaba, I had success! What has hit me is not a thing that I. Absolutely not! Martyrdom in the way of God since already it is always me wishful angankan. And for me, what better and valuable than the syahadah worship? "

Assorted In Death

Qur'an and Hadith explained that there are four kinds of lifting lives:

1. the pious people die easily. Imam ' Ali as saying, "When godly people died, they were given the good news, so that they feel good and like death." 1

2. good people that died hard. Saww Prophet said, "death is the kaffarah sins of the believers. After that they will not feel the torture again. " 2

3. people who are not devout, but death is easy. Imam Al-Kazhim USA said, "Most people die easily due to a number of good deeds. Most Pagans have charity. Amal saleh that made easy. " 3

Immortality Of The Spirit

The rational argumentation and verses of the Koran and the Hadith, all of which prove that the human spirit is immortal. Destruction of the body does not make the spirit become damaged. Spirit stand alone, no relation to the body. The human personality relates to spirit. Not with the Agency. For example when small you ever struck by your neighbors.
