📖 QUR’ĀNIC VERSE
📌 Surah Al-Ḥajj 22:66
“And He is the One who gave you life; then He causes you to die; and then He will bring you back to life. Indeed, man is ungrateful.”
📚 Tafsir (Ibn Kathir, Al-Qurtubi, Al-Sa‘di)**
- This verse highlights:
- Three stages: life → death → resurrection
- All are under Allah’s sole authority
- Al-Mumīt is the One who:
- Determines the exact moment of your death
- Ensures no soul dies early or late
- Brings death not randomly, but with divine qadar, tied to justice, mercy, and accountability
Death is not the end — it is Al-Mumīt’s gentle hand calling the soul to the next chapter.
🪞 Tafhīm (Relatable Understanding)
- You fear death — its pain, its suddenness, its separation.
Al-Mumīt says: “I will not take your soul a moment too soon. And I will hold it Myself when it leaves you.”
📜 HADITH REFERENCE
📌 Sahih al-Bukhari 6502
Narrated by Usāmah ibn Zayd (the Prophet’s ﷺ beloved companion and freed servant):
The Prophet ﷺ said:
“No soul dies except that it has completed its appointed time and received its full provision. So fear Allah and be moderate in seeking provision…”
📚 Tafsir (Ibn Hajar, Ibn Rajab)**
- This hadith shows:
- Death is not negotiable
- Risk, provision, and lifespan are fully written
- Al-Mumīt ensures:
- Your life ends exactly when it was meant to
- Nothing in dunya can delay what He has decreed
Worrying about death won’t prevent it — but remembering Al-Mumīt can prepare your heart for it.
🪞 Tafhīm (Relatable Understanding)
- You ask: “What if I die before I’m ready?”
Al-Mumīt says: “I have already written your last breath. Use the rest to prepare for it with peace, not panic.”
🌍 EVIDENCE IN TODAY’S WORLD
1. Unexpected Death That No One Could Predict
- Young, healthy, vibrant — gone suddenly.
Al-Mumīt wrote it that way — and no one can rewrite what He seals.
2. Someone Was Kept Alive Against All Odds
- Terminal illness, yet they lingered in dignity.
That’s Al-Mumīt — life ends only when He says so.
3. You Attended a Janāzah and Felt Your Own Mortality
- Someone you knew is now in the grave — silent, still.
That’s Al-Mumīt — reminding you to live not in fear, but in remembrance.
4. A Near-Death Experience Softened You Spiritually
- Illness, accident, grief — and you turned to Allah again.
That was Al-Mumīt — not taking you, but awakening you.
❤️ EMOTIONAL ANCHORING
Al-Mumīt is the One who says:
“Do not fear Me. Fear meeting Me unprepared. For when I bring your soul home — I do so with truth, mercy, and full knowledge of your journey.”
He:
- Ends no life without wisdom
- Never surprises Himself — only us
- Holds the soul in transition
- Allows no death to be meaningless
The next time you hear of a death, don’t just fear —
Remember Al-Mumīt, and say: “He brought them home. One day, He will bring me too.”

Not from the Prophet’s exact words — but drawn from authentic meanings
Yā Mumīt,
Let me live a life worth returning from.
Let my death be gentle, my soul ready, and my deeds enough.
Do not let me fear the grave more than I long for You.
And when You bring my time, let me meet You with peace in my chest and hope in my heart.
