PHENOMENON DEATH'S DOOR

By : Nanang Sufratna, Student of UIN Sunan Ampel Surabaya

"And death's door came with truth .That's what you always run away from him". (Qs: Qaf : 19 )

               Before we discuss about how the process of death's door, better we reflect on how the process of man so that he can be a caliph in the earth. Man was created from the ground, and then returned to the ground: the dead, and from the land of Man will also be revived. Earth that all people trampling each day produces herbs and foods containing albumin, iron calories, and various vitamins that are all necessary for the survival of a creature called man.
In it there is also a hormone substances that enrich the blood to produce sperm. After the allotted time runs out, then you are returned to the soil. Corpses were burned to become dust and disposed to definitely return to the land and the sea. On the day of Judgment, all human beings, regardless of religion or not, will be revived.

               But before we are become a corpse that will be judged by God, every man would have had the name death's door. All will feel it, the king and slave, leader and led, the rich and the poor. Really lucky people who prepare themselves to deal with it.

               Death will meet every human being, while the process of dispossession of human life will be preceded by seconds stressful and hurtful. These events are familiar with death's door. Ibn Abi Ad - Dunya narrated rahimahullahof Shaddad bin Aus radi ' anhu , he said :

"Death is the horror of the most powerful in the world and the Hereafter for those who believe. Death is more painful than scratches saws, scissors cuts, heat of boiling water in a vessel. If there was a body is raised and tell the world population about the pain of death, undoubtedly the world's inhabitants are not be comfortable with his life and not soundly in his sleep".

               Prophet Muhammad felt of death and death's door as well as other human perceived. In the authentic history of his death is mentioned that the Prophet took his shirt off and put them on his face. When he was death's door and sweat profusely he said: " O God, make it easy for me.Nothing death's door has the right to be worshiped but Allah. Indeed, death has moment deathbed. "(Narrated by Bukhari)

               The general condition of the process of taking the life of a believer is more lightweight. But sometimes suffer death’s door also whack some pious. The goal is to remove the sins and also raise position. As experienced by the Prophet. He Shallallallahu 'alaihi wa sallam feel the pain of death's door. Ibn Hajar said: "misery (in) death's door is not an indication of the humiliation of dignity (someone). In the context of the believers can add to his good or delete mistakes"

               According to Al Qurtubi enormity of death and death's door that befell the Prophets contains several meanings:

               First: In order for people to know the levels of illness and death  he(death's door) invisible. Sometimes there is a person sees someone else who will die. No movement or turmoil.Looks soul out easily. So he thought, this case (death's door) light. He did not know what happened to the bodies (in fact). When the prophet, preaching about the enormity of the suffering in death, although they are precious in the sight of Allah , and simplicity to some of them, then the people will be convinced by the pangs of death he would feel and faced deceased absolute, based on the word of the prophets are honest unless the martyrs .

               Second: It may be conceived in the minds of some people, they are beloved of God and His prophets and apostles, why suffered severe misery this?. Though God is able to relieve it for them?. The answer , that the most severe ordeal in the world are the prophets then people who resemble them and people are more similar to those of our Prophet as saying . God wanted to test them to complete their degree of virtue and improvement in his side. It is not a disgrace for them it is also not a form of torture. God wants to close their life. Although able to alleviate suffering and reduce the (level of suffering) them with the aim of promoting their position and increase their merits before dying. But that does not mean that God complicates the process of their deaths exceeds the pain of people who engage in immoral acts. Because (pain) is the punishment for them and sanctions for crimes then they can’t be equated, the death's door people to breathe his pious people often commit adultery".

               Although humans have understoond that death will surely come, but humans are not the same in react, there are two classes of how humans respond to death's door:

               Firstly, they who prepare themselves fully, they have prepared themselves to death with righteous deeds and pure repentance in the morning and evening. So people who like this spirit will come off easily and lightly. Angels will come to them who like this with a good impression again encouraging.

               Secondly, they forget, they die in a state of neglect and disobedience. While the unbelievers, the spirit will come out with great difficulty, he tormented her. That is, the angel stretched out his hands to beat and tortured until their life out of the body. Therefore, the angels said: "Take your life". Because the pagans who had come death, the angel will give bad news to him in the form of doom, doom, shackles and chains, hell jahim, boiling water and wrath Ar Rahman (Allah). Then his life crumbled in his body, do not want to obey and reluctant to come out. The angels hit that his life out of his body. Immediately , the angel said : " In this day you met with a very humiliating torment , because you always say to God ( words ) that are not true and ( because ) you always brag to verses " means that on this day , you will be humiliated with insults that are not measurable because the deniers of God and ( because ) of the arrogance of you in following His verses and subject to his apostles . When the moment of death comes, pagans turn to be restored in order to convert to Islam. While a bad person please returned to the world to repent, and pious deeds. But of course, they will not be true demand.

               Everyone who was careless in this world, either with infidelity or other immoral acts will be affected by the roll of regret,and will be returned to the world despite asking only for a moment, to be a human person pious Muslims. But the chance of that is gone, maybe not followed anymore. Thus, the preparation should be done early while pleading for us all in a state of holding reluctent can be killed God. Allaaha'lamubishshawab .
