Seen anyone dying?

I hear that when you die the soul exits from your feet to your mouth and out.

So you start losing movement from your feet onwards when you die.

I was remembering Death yesterday and I remember seeing my Grandfather on his deathbed when I was like 13 years old.

He was in the middle of the room and everyone was reading the Quran around him. We had to keep the door slightly open, not sure why?

No one was sitting to his right, it was Muharram and was very hot. He was breathing very fast and sure enough he died. It was scary like hell.

Re: Seen anyone dying?

Few times, normal death, accidental deats etc etc. I dont want to talk about it. Makes me sick particularly few accidnetal deaths I saw.

I dont believe in not sitting on the right of dying person or leave the door open blah blah blah ... toh'maat, nothing more than that.

Re: Seen anyone dying?

never witnessed anyone dying. However, death is natural and a reminder- grieve for few minutes then get over it and worry for yourself.

Re: Seen anyone dying?

like.. no offence to you dude...but i really...i mean...i know everyone has to die one day...but talking about how people die...and their last reaction is pretty disturbing...

Re: Seen anyone dying?

quite true diya..........it is disturbing.........

Re: Seen anyone dying?

ya u r right diya but the thing is dat by talking abt death n its last reaction u may remember ur's one n u may do things according 2 law n shariah

Re: Seen anyone dying?

yes, it is :bummer:, but i think threads such as these keep reminding that death is eventual – so when the time arrives - its less of a shock.

Re: Seen anyone dying?

I saw a murder, suicide and an accident infront of my eyes and I can't seem to forget them. No it did't effect me at all in my daily life but I sure thank Allah (s.w.t) for every breath every minute I have.

Diya: talking about death brings one person more close to Allah (s.w.t). Realizing and having a fear of death keeps you away from the bad deeds and make u realize that one day you have to return back to HIM and have to be accountant for everthing that you have done in your life. I don't mind talking about death at all...its part of life.

Re: Seen anyone dying?

I remember some phrases of prayers when i was in Prep.

Thank you God for the world so sweet
Thank you God for the Food we Eat
Thank you God for every thing .

Re: Seen anyone dying?

I have never witnessed anyone dying nor have I ever seen a dead person myself. And I really don't know how I'll cope with it, if and when I ever do.

Re: Seen anyone dying?

I didnt' and i don't even watn to be in that situation.

I heard it from some where that every muslim has to give bath to 2.5 bodies.

2 bodies on your own and half means help out other people while they are giving bath. Just the thought of it gives me scary nightmares....

As far as i know Soul will be taken from back of your neck. I remember reading something on it where Prophet Muhammad PBUH asked Allah to make it less painful.

Re: Seen anyone dying?

Yea this uncle that I was meeting for the first time, saw him have a heart attack. He feel from the couch to the floor all of a sudden. It was scary.

Re: Seen anyone dying?

I worked my way through college as an orderly in a hospital. I saw lots of people die. The most horrible was a man named Gaylord G. (can't use the whole name here). Gaylord had Lung Cancer, and the cancer had metastastisized to his brain. He had a huge growth coming out of his head. The minute you walked into his room, you could smell the cancer coming up out of his lungs. Once you have smelled this you can never mistake it again.

During his last days he developed a type of breathing pattern called Cheyne-Stoking. This is where you take a few breaths, then completely stop, then suddenly resume. This is frequently a symptom that immediately precedes death. I had gotten to know this man well, so the family paid extra, and asked that I stayed past my normal shift and stayed only with him that night. The Cheyne-Stoking is the most is the most nerve wracking thing you have ever experienced. You literally think every breath is his last, and then breathing can restart nearly a minute later. Absolutely horrible. By dawn he actually took his final breath, and never resumed. It was an absolute blessing when he finally died.
