I want to be honest. I am not afraid of death, I am just afraid of the way I might die. I dont want to die an agonizing death (no drowning for sure, inshallah :D).
Second fear is untimely death. I pray for the life of my kids and my wife and myself. I want to live long enough till my kids are grown up and on their own.
What intrigues me about death is that it will give me a chance of finding out so many unknowns and mysteries of after life.
what are your fears and attractions (if you have) of death?
Fears
1. Qabar ka azab...
2. Offcourse saza aur jaza
3. it may sound stupid but i always wonder or fear when i die, off course my family won't forget me but what about my niece and nephew, will they remember me or just forget me (because they are just 5 or 3 yrs old)
Attractions:
If i die before my family, it would be all attractive for me..... because i want to die before them (sounds filmy but true)

ditto
but for the most part I'll be honest, the concept of living forever and ever and ever..............scares the heck out of me, that and of course all of the punishments
i think about death all the time. What will happen to my loved ones after I'm gone. The punishments i will receive for my sins. The rewards I will recieve for my good deads. i think about the Day of Judgement a lot..about what will happen and how it will all play out.
I think about the period between the Day of Judgement and my death. What type of punishment am I gonna get in my grave? And if I’m gonna have anyone to hang out with ?
i think about death all the time. What will happen to my loved ones after I'm gone.
yes, that is another of my fear. The thought of their emotional instability because of losing a love one is what makes me more emotional than the fear of my own death.
Fears:
What if I die tonight in my sleep?
I don't have enough good deeds to get even a little spot in Jannah.
What if I won't be able to answer the questions I'll be asked in the grave?
The tight grave, the punishments.
Attractions:
Heaven, meeting the Creator.. if He allows me to!
Being with loved ones who have passed away and are hopefully in the good place I want to end up in.
Getting every thing I wish for.
No more worries...
oh boy, you guys keep reminding me of my fears. This is definitely one of my biggest fear but its tied up to the one that I already mentioned 'fear of untimely death'
We don't know when we'll die.. so every death will be 'untimely'.
untimely not from my point of view but from the surviving family point of view (logistics, not emotional) ..
Like when my father passed away, that was very sudden, I talked to him to in the afternoon and late night I got the news that he died. Now that was shock but our of four siblings, my sister was married and I was in USA, already working. So at least half of the family was taken care of.
Unlike this, when one of our close uncle passed away, his kids were only 12 and 8 .. that is what I called untimely
I want to live long enough to be a dulhan and have kids… and attend my grand children’s weddings Allah mian jee uske baad bula lena!
Qabar ka azaab and jahannum are definitely my biggest fears… :hinna: Also afraid of the various different tests we’ll be put through on the day of judgement such as having to walk over al-sirat, the hair-narrow bridge over hell :no:
I'm afraid of the qabr ka azaab. As for ways of dying....there are so many that I find terrifying...drowning especially. But it's mostly the what happens after death that scares me.
