Iman Ki Hifazat

Book Name:Iman Ki Hifazat

would remain distressed in regards to protecting their faith at the time of death.

Sayyiduna Mansoor bin Ammar رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ عَلَيْه states: When the time of death approaches a person, his state is of 5 types:

1.   Wealth for his inheritors.

2.   His soul for the angels of death.

3.   His flesh for the insects.

4.   His bones for the soil.

5.   Good deeds are for those who request their right on the Day of Judgement.

He further states: If an inheritor takes the wealth, it is bearable. Likewise, it is fine if the angel of death takes our soul. But, if only the Devil does not take our Iman at the time of death, otherwise we will be separated from Allah Almighty. We seek refuge in Allah from this because being distant from our Lord is an unbearable separation to which nothing can compare.[1]

Dear Islamic brothers! If the mercy and grace of Allah and His Messenger صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم do not accompany us at the time of death because of our sins, the Devil may overcome us and destroy our faith. I swear by Allah! We will be subjected to disgrace and we will be thrown into the blazing fire of Hell for eternity, and our fragile bodies will never be able to endure the severe punishment of Hell.

It is mentioned in verses 105-107 of Surah al-Kahf:

اُولٰٓىٕكَ الَّذِیْنَ كَفَرُوْا بِاٰیٰتِ رَبِّهِمْ وَ لِقَآىٕهٖ فَحَبِطَتْ اَعْمَالُهُمْ فَلَا نُقِیْمُ لَهُمْ یَوْمَ الْقِیٰمَةِ وَزْنًا(۱۰۵) ذٰلِكَ جَزَآؤُهُمْ جَهَنَّمُ بِمَا كَفَرُوْا وَ اتَّخَذُوْۤا اٰیٰتِیْ وَ رُسُلِیْ هُزُوًا(۱۰۶) اِنَّ الَّذِیْنَ اٰمَنُوْا وَ عَمِلُوا الصّٰلِحٰتِ كَانَتْ لَهُمْ جَنّٰتُ الْفِرْدَوْسِ نُزُلًاۙ(۱۰۷)
