unable to express their pain or seek help.

Death dominates the ability to think and understand, leaving the person bewildered and confused. It silences the tongue and renders the body lifeless. Even if the dying person tries to cry, scream, or seek help, they cannot do so. If some strength remains, all that can be heard is a rattling from the throat and a sound resembling the bellowing of a bull.

The complexion of the face becomes pale, resembling clay, as though the person's origin from clay is revealed at the moment of death. The soul is pulled from every vein, causing agony inside and out. The eyeballs roll upward, the lips dry out, the tongue dries up, and the fingers turn blue.

The state of the body, from which the soul has been extracted from every vein, is unimaginable. If pulling out a single vein causes extreme pain, consider the agony of the soul being extracted from every vein simultaneously! Gradually, death overtakes every part of the body. First, the feet grow cold, then the calves, followed by the thighs. The body endures hardship upon hardship and agony upon agony until the soul is finally drawn up to the throat.

This is the moment when the dying person loses all hope in this world and its inhabitants. The door to repentance has already closed moments before, leaving the person surrounded by regret and remorse.^[1]
