Do you guys ever imagine yourself being dead and going through the test of qabar (grave)? If you do, than what do you feel or what exactly do you try to imagine? A person knows himself better or his/her Rub (Allah, God) knows him/her better so based on that one would try to imagine if he/she will be tormented or will be having the comfort of Janah (Paradise) while that person spends his/her time in qabar (grave) till the day of judgement.
There is a hadeeth that the first 3 questions in the qabar (grave) will be asked are…
Mun RabuKa (Who is your God)
Mun Deen’uKa (What is your religion)
Mun Nabi’uKa (Who was the last prophet)
And it is said a pious person will be able to answer these 3 questions easily but a sinner will not be able to anser and thus will go through the azab (torment) of qabar.
Hazart Usman (ra) used to cry so much every time he visit the qabaristan (graveyard) and people used to ask him O ameer-ul-momineen why are you crying so much when you already have the glad tidings of Janah (Paradise) and you are one of the Ashra Mubashra? He used to reply that the Janah comes later the first place after deth is the qabar (grave) and and who so ever pass the test of qabar will be able to pass everything else.
Death is a reality and we all will die one day. After the death we all will face the truth. It is said that as soon as the person dies everything becomes visible to him, the Malaika’s (angels), and all other unseen becomes visible and the very first moment that a soul realise what he/she missed and what was the truth but than you know the only thing that a soul could do at that time is “regret” but nothing else. As per Hazar Ali’s saying “we are sleeping and we will be awake when we die”.
So based on this my friends did you ever think for a moment where are you heading to? What have you been doing and what you should be/suppose to be doing? I’d say its time to do a self check and realise what we are missing in order to pass the test or else even a regret or repentance will not do any good.
On the day of judgement even Iblis (satan) will say O Allah I am ready to prostrate whom ever you say but than it will be too late.

I have had conversations with people in their old age who say they experienced what seemed to be the internment during their dream...
And on the Day of Judgement .........Not only IBLIS but many who follow him will also say.......send us back for just one Day......:(
I have heard that apart from these questions we would also be asked to read/recite the quran. When we will be given the azaab for our bad deeds the quran and namaz that we have performed during our life time would come and stand in between us and the Azaab.
Yes death is a reality you cannot change the time , date and manner of it. Nor you can avoid it. Then why fret about it ?
Yes you should be prepared for it but you do not need any special prepration for it. All you have to do is to spend each moment of your life within the framework Allah has provided you in Quran and through sunnah. You do not have to be in Sajdah 24x7 but you should be leading the life of a Muslim 24x7.
^ A digression but I wanted to point out that Sajdah comes from SJD which means to submit/bow/become-humble in adoration. It is not necessarily a physical activity, but a state of mind. If you come to truely accept the Message of the Quran then you are a SaaJiD (he who does SaJDah: Only adores God with utmost humility and submission) 24x7 because your mind itself becomes a maSJid (place/time/surrounding of SJD)... This is the explanation from an individual perspective.
From a collective point of view, a maSJiD is a place/institution of Submission to His Message to the community, to obey the Laws set forth i.e. a court, assembly, community centres and administrative institutions that implement the Quranic constitution.

I am using this word Sajdah in the context of its daily usage for the puposes of my comments.
