how often do you fear death? is it normal if one experiences the fear of death constantly to an extent that he can’t function his day to day activities normally. like losing the sleep over this fear, constant thoughts that he will day the next moment and then thoughts like bad will happen to him in grave,in hereafter etc.
in my opinion, i see this type of fear where a person is thinking more in terms of bad will happen to him, is kind of negative and indicates that the person is losing trust and believe in the mercy of ALLAH who is all forgiving.
is it okay to be fearful that you will be punished after death because ALLAH has also promised rewards for the good souls and told that death is a step towards attaining the eternal life in Jannah(INSHALLAH)so when a person is focusing more on the punishment side and is fearing death constantly only thinking the negative, then is it a sign of weak Imaan? is it that these whispers are coming from the shaiytaan to him? if someone is experiencing this, then what is the best possible way to get rid of these thoughts?

Have you experienced a close one passing away recently? If so then you still may be deeply affected and in a state of shock. Get some help, this isn’t right.
