The lessons that should be taken from the death

The lessons that should be taken from the death

The people should take lessons from the death and deal with it seriously not like any usual event which pass without any effect on them , they mustn't be inattentive toward it , we will speak about the death through four levels
First level : The effect of the death on the person in the present life even before his death , he may feel of the following
First : The death is a certain fact not doubtful thing even though the people be inattentive to it
Second : The death is a kind of obedience because it is a door to the afterlife in which there is a reward for the obedience & punishment for the sin so the people will work hardly to be rewarded and avoid the punishment
Third : The death has no specific time but it depends on God's will only , it may happen in any time with or without reason and this will negate the long hope of people
Fourth : It makes people leave the life and all worldly things , it likes the borrowing ( the age of the person has a specific time then it returns to God the real owner of it ) so they shouldn't give the worldly things a great importance
Fifth : The body leaves the person at the death , God gave the body to the people in order to help them in obedience , repent and ask for God's forgiveness not to use it in disobedience or oppressing the others
Sixth : The body doesn't have any value after death , it becomes carrion then turn to soil , all people will be equal after death ( the rich & poor , scientist & ignorant , Muslim & disbeliever
