Life ends with death. Mola Aliaswssays1 every grain you eat ispredestined for you and you arethe diet of the death, withpunishment for the unsuccessful
and reward for the successfulones, as Allahazwj Says in thefollowing Verses:

Every soul will be tasting death:You will merely be repaid your

Say: If a home in the Hereafterwith God is exclusively yoursinstead of [other] peoples thenlong for death if you are sotruthful.
A non-believer will be reluctantto leave this world and will notlook forward to the life afterdeath. However, for amomin/momina this life is like a
prison and he/she alwaysdesires for transferring to his/hereternal residence where aluxurious life with countlessbounties and blessings havebeen guaranteed, but moreimportantly an eternal proximityto Masomeenasws is the reality,
which makes a momin restless

A person requested Amir-ul-momaneenasws to explainimplications of death, Imamaswsreplied: A person wouldencounter one of three scenariosafter death, either he gets good
news about eternal blessingsand peace, or is given bad newsfor everlasting punishment or(the third one) remains in griefand fear without being informedabout his fate in the hereafter-without knowing which categoryhe belongs to (Kafir or momin).

but our enemy will be told onlyabout his never endingpunishment. The one who willnot be told about his fate will bethat Momin who had pollutedhis/her soul with Allahazwjsforbidden deeds and will be indoubt about his future and willperceive terrible outcome aftergetting ambiguous and fearfulmessages. Allahazwjwill not puthim together with our enemiesbut will release him from hell firethrough our intersession. Thus,O my followers, keep on doinggood deeds, obey Allahazwj, anddo not become careless throughself-reliance (on your deeds).Do not underestimate Allahazwjswrath because there will besome among third categorysinner musrafeen (who were
careless) who will not get our

die? Imamasws replied becausethey are unaware of reality ofdeath and its bounties. Surely,they will like it if they are truebelievers and obey Allahazwj andwould recognise life in thehereafter is far better than whatthey are used to (in this world).They may be exemplifying bysuch a child or an insane personwho would not like to take amedicine, although it is going tocure his illness and provide himcomfort. If they knew how muchbetter off they will be in thehereafter they would certainlywish to die, their desire would bemore intense as compared withthat patient who is desperate forhealth and life.3
