Death in the state of Imaan

Everyone must die. No one came on this earth to stay forever. Thus, no doubt, death will come. There is no escape. And it will come at the fixed moment. And everyone will die at a specific time. It will not come in advance nor a little later. But what is essential in all this is that a person must make an effort to die in the state of Imaan. After this, the person will remain in well-being forever. There will be nothing that will annoy, trouble or upset him. This is success. People who really want success must know that this is the real success. There is nothing that deserves to be called 'success' besides this success. All success without this success is a real defeat. Just as any defeat with this success becomes a success finally.

The effort that a person must make to die in the state of Imaan is that he must always do whatever is good and refrain from whatever is not good. Good is that which Allah Ta'ala has declared as good. Likewise, evil is that which Allah Ta'ala has declared as evil. Thus, to die in the state of Imaan, a person must obey Allah Ta'ala.

This requires the will and this will can be achieved easily by being in the company of those who are on the right track and are sincere.
