on a serious note, yes if Qabar life is the negative one, we all would feel the length of it (allah hum sab ko azab-e-qabar se bachaa’ay), and id its a postive life then we wont feel it as we would be sleep through like a newly wed bride (hadees ke alafaz)
Personally I dont fear the inevitable. An untimely death particularly at a younger age scares me… I wont have completed all my missions yet.
Would like to die for a cause and particualarly at the critical point when I achieve a goal such as a heroic defence or sacrifice then I could die in happiness.
Dont really want to die in ignomy, i dont mind dying as a common person but would hate to die in a shamefull manner… and cant stand being mutilated after death or during life for that matter. I have known pain but pain beyond death does worry me… sure one can argue that since I would be dead I wouldn’t feel would I?.. but I am not sure. Also I hate the idea of not having a body to revive into at some point.
I dont think I will be wanting to be cremated or anything like that because I want to be able to get up fast when the call comes… I think in the afterlife I will still have a duty to do. And I cant afford to dilly dally.
As for the manner of death, boil me broil me id dont matter much so long as theres a body left at the end that can be buried… the pain would hurt yes but then theres an eternity of pain at the other side so what is wordly pain compared to that?
I fear desecration of my body though once my soul has left it…
and what if you cease to exist after death. so much so that you don’t even know you existed? so much so that all the remains of you is your bones…there was no soul. how would you ever know about that
ok, i hate this topic …n the above causes me despair
