Death Is a Promise of Certainty Definitely Comes
Death is something that will surely happen to any human being in the world, believers or hypocrites or those who disbelieve, scholars or laymen, men or women, young or old, rich or poor, the officials or the masses and so forth, undoubtedly they will all die.

Then the deaths will surely come to every soul in various circumstances, whether it is death because of fighting the religion of Allah with the form of jihad with wealth, oral and soul, fatigue when doing some worship of religious worship, help and invite others to join participate in the upholding of Islam as the most unpretentious religion and so forth. It is a death of glory. Whether he died or was defending the falsehood he had been guilty of, he committed various disobedience which he had long enjoyed, helped and invoked others to resist and against the truth he had hated and abandoned and so forth. This is the death that invites desolation. Dead beheaded or glorified in death, that is the two choices that every human must take that will go beyond and choose one of the two.
Death Is the Secret of the Creator
Death is certain for all humanity in this world. this death regardless of age, sex, caste, and so on. but the problem with death is when and how do we as humans die? Only Allah SWT knows the record of destiny of death. God keeps human death secret without reason, but God has the implicit purpose of hiding or redifying human death. why did God hide the time of human death?

Making people smart
Smart humans are humans who can think that life in the hereafter is far more eternal than life in the world, and intelligent people will also think that heaven is their main goal after facing death later. Smart people are people who want to humble themselves and do good deeds for life after death, while ignorant people are human beings who always follow lust and hope with you empty people.
So that humans work hard
Seeing people die, certainly will make our hearts become afraid, afraid to be taken by God in a quick or short time. With this fear we will be motivated to be able to work hard in this only short world and gather all the acts of worship for the entrance ticket to heaven later.
Charity with sincerity
The reason God keeps the humanity's next secret a secret is that humans can charity sincerely. When we remember the afterlife, death, hell, and other uncertain things, automatically we will get closer to Allah SWT. From here we can realize that charity with sincerity is very important so that when death picks up, we already have enough pockets to enter the heaven of God.
Prevent immoral acts
Every person certainly wants to be DEVOTED (in a state) THE BEST, because it can make us enter God's heaven. This is the reason God keeps the death a secret, the death will continue to haunt humans and make humans afraid to do evil. Because if they die while committing immorality, God will give a reward in the form of hell.
What Are Our Preparations for Facing Death?
Preparation is a natural thing before someone wants to travel. In fact, preparation is a must. What happens if someone who wants to make a long journey while he does not prepare himself by preparing what supplies he will need later on the way? it seems he will be hassles and difficulties. Yes, if there is a trip there is someone who provides assistance. Maybe the difficulty will disappear. However, do we know that in the future we will have someone who generously gives us help?
Therefore, it is imperative for every living person to prepare themselves for death. In fact, the preparation must be done optimally. Why? there are at least two reasons:
- Death is a long journey. A journey that only God knows exactly how long. Even that is the journey to eternal life.
- Death comes suddenly, and no one knows when it arrived. He is part of a supernatural case that only Allah knows when it comes, wherever a person is in the middle he may come suddenly.
Then what provision must be prepared to face death and a long journey afterwards so that he will arrive at his destination safely and embrace a happy life at his destination? THE PIOUS PRACTICE that is based on true faith in God is the provision that must be prepared. The more pious deeds he does, the better his charity scale in the hereafter will be heavier. The heavier the scales of goodness, the lighter the scale of badness, then this person is in a state, he will get good luck.
We are always faced with the choice of the world and the hereafter, between mortal glory or eternal glory, between loving life or loving death, between pursuing a comfortable life or pursuing a comfortable death, between filling in world savings, or filling in the afterlife savings.

Remembering dead gives two great benefits. First, our deep understanding of the impermanence of life will lead us to the wisdom of life and the sincerity of devotion. Second, remembering death is a bidder for excessive world love. Therefore, when tempted by sin and immorality, remember to die.
Today it's time we can do charity, without counting, later in the hereafter we can only count charity without being able to do charity anymore.
Good stuff but the super rich and very smart are trying to change this. They might be very vain thinking they can but they are trying. To move the mind into the cloud. So your mind can live on. It sounds crazy but they are getting close. How will that change the idea of death?
