Death and Resurrection

Death and Resurrection

Question
Even though I am a Muslim (thank Allah) I want to know about death and resurrection and so on because I like to read about those things. Can you send it to my email whenever you have new things or topics to do with that?

Answer

Praise be to Allaah.

Praise be to Allah, the Lord of the World; and may His blessings and peace be upon our Prophet Muhammad and upon all his Family and Companions.

Death means taking away the souls (of people, …) and transformation from the present life to the world of al-Barzakh (the interval between one's death and resurrection).
Allah, The Exalted, has ordained that all souls, everyone, shall die. He, The Great and Almighty, Says: {Everyone is going to taste death, …} [21: 35]. Allah has assigned the Angel of Death and his helping Angels to take the souls.
Allah Says (interpretation of meaning): {Say: "The angel of death, who is set over you, will take your souls, …} [32: 11]. He also Says: {…, until when death approaches one of you, Our Messengers (angel of death and his assistants) take his soul, and they never neglect their duty.} [6: 61].
As for the way of taking away the souls, it is reported in a Hadith of al-Baraa Ibn 'Azib (Radiya Allahu Anhu) that the Prophet (Sallallahu Alaihi wa Sallam) said: "When a believing slave comes close to the Hereafter and nearer to the end of the present life (i.e. at a state of last breath), angels descend to him; their faces are shining as if the sun is on them; they have a shroud from the shrouds of the Paradise and scent for embalmment from the scents of Paradise. They sit far from him at the distance that they can see him. Then the Angel of Death comes nearer to him till he sits near his head and addresses him: O good soul! Come out to Divine pardon and consent. The Prophet (Sallallahu Alaihi wa Sallam) added: The soul of the believer comes out flowing as a drop of water runs out from the mouth of a water skin.
When the disbelieving slave comes close to the end of the present life and nearer to the Hereafter (i.e. at a state of last breath), Angels descend to him from the heaven; whose faces are black. They have al-Musuh (a kind of harsh clothes); they sit far from him at the distance that they can see him. Then, the Angel of Death comes nearer to him till he sits near his head and addresses him: come out, O wicked soul! Come out to Divine discontent and wrath. The soul goes in a different direction from his body. Then the Angel plucks it out as a skewer is extracted from wet wool" . [ Ahmad and Abu Dawood ].
As for resurrection, it means the rising of all the dead from their graves. Believing in resurrection is one of pillars of the Islamic creed.
The Qur'an presents such a pillar of Iman (faith) in many ways to establish its rightness due to some people's denial of it. Among these methods are: (1) clear direct presentation of its coming, (2) reminding people of their creation the first time, (3) drawing attention to bringing land rebirth by plants, (4) Qur'anic stories, e.g. the people of the cave, and (5) other methods.
The resurrection starts with the blowing of the trumpet and the blowing for the raising from the graves (resurrection).
Allah Says (interpretation of meaning): {And the Trumpet will be blown, and all who are in the heavens and all who are on the earth will swoon away, except him whom Allâh will. Then it will blown a second time and behold, they will be standing, looking on (waiting).} [39: 68].
It is proved in Sahih Muslim from 'Abdullah Ibn 'Amr (Radiya Allahu Anhu) who said: "Then the trumpet would be blown and no one would hear that but he would bend his neck to one side and raise it from the other side and the first one to hear that trumpet would be the person who would be busy in setting right the tank meant for providing water to the camels. He would swoon and the other people would also swoon, then Allah would send or He would cause to send rain which would be like dew and there would grow out of it the bodies of the people. Then the trumpet would be blown and they would stand up and begin to look (around)" .
