"And I [Allaah] created not the Jinns and Men except that they should worship Me [alone]"

Soorah az-Zariyat (51): 56  

This life, which we are living, is the testing ground for which there shall be only two consequences, Paradise or Hellfire. Unfortunately more than often we disregard death, as we are so attached to this world and the love of which has been established in our hearts. 

"Certainly, they see it as distant, but We see it as near"

Soorah al-Ma'arij (70): 6-7 

Death only becomes a reality when a close beloved one dies. The heart feels heavy, the eyes shed tears and there is, at that moment, a present fear of death. If we were to spend even a single moment each day thinking about death, it would bring forth many concerns? The greatest being our Hereafter: 

"He Who has created death and life, that He may test you, which of you is best in deed."

Al-Mulk (67):21
