Does my death occur in a slumber? I fret about an unavoidable stare at death. I wish I could be one of those individuals that are ok without the consistent need to know what comes after. Death makes me wonder if after life I’ll be ecstatic or if I will be in a constant wonder about how I could have lived life better. I don’t know but the idea of death fills me with consternation. Death is the fear that consumes me.

The cure would be to live life to fullest, cherish life while it’s still there, and do things that issue satisfaction. Also instead of one’s self consumption of this fear, know how to have the value of life distract other thoughts.

I had mixed feelings when I woke up today. I was both annoyed and excited because college was going to stat again from today. After I took s shower and had lunch it was already 4:30.  It took me a few more minutes to get ready and I rushed out of my house. I did not want to be late on the first day of the new semester.  I ran to our subway station but missed a 7 train by a few seconds as it sped past me . Fortunately another train followed shortly and I quickly hopped in. I found an empty seat and   quickly sat down. I noticed a bright red light reflecting on a window in front of me. It was beautiful. I wanted to go up and sit facing the sunset but felt uncomfortable thinking what the person sitting there would think. Before i could make up my mind it got dark. I nodded off soon after and barely got up in time to get off at Jay street metro tech.

My fears is about life after death. As a Muslim I belives their is life after death. We have two option either Haven or Hell. I am worried about Hell.In Islam, Hell is described in very graphic terms in both the Koran and the Hadith. Their theology teaches that there are several levels of Hell. The first level of Hell is reserved for Muslim sinners, the second is for idolaters who were polytheists, the third level is for worshippers of fire, and the fourth level is for atheists. By the time you get to the fifth and sixth levels you find out who are the real enemies of Islam because the fifth is reserved for Jews and the sixth for the Christians. The seventh and last is for hypocrites which could include Muslims. All Muslims who have not pleased God will also fall into one of the hells, but by the grace of Allah, they can be brought out. It is true that as Christians, we have a fiery Hell as a part of our theology, but we concentrate more on Heaven than on Hell. In the holy writings of Islam there are very graphic descriptions of the pain and torment that will be experience by those in Hell. Such graphic details as skin being slowly peeled off the body only to grow back again and peeled off again and again, bloated stomachs exploding because of the liquid they drink, and other painful experiences are vividly described. Reading such descriptions only elevate the fear level in believers.

    To overcome my fears what I do practice Islam as much as you can, respect yours parents, find a teacher, keep away from debates and arguments, understand Islam’s organic nature, maintain your identity, force myself go to masjid, avoid loneliness, stay away from extremism, and do not despair.

I have a fear of not able to see someone who is close to me ever. When we are too attached to another, we never want to break that bond. Humans are sensitive creatures. Not a lot of our kind can deal with death. Death is like cancer, but worst.

However there are some stuff we can do to reduce the risk, and we can think better rather than the cons.

Fear- My all time fear would be death. Death is something that can occur In no time. Having to lose our loved ones make a tremendous impact on our life as a whole. We tend to give up on things and lose motivation. Our ambitions and goals start to disappear. Life is short, therefore we have to make the best outcome with our loved ones.

Cure- The cure to this would be to stay strong all the time in our life. We have to adapt in critical situations and have the motive to live our life till on. Best thing to do would be show love in every way we can when our loved ones are in present.

When it is the time to be in front of the others (audience) and all attention to me, then that will be fearful to me. Insects, their weird skin is nauseous and scare me too not all of them but most of them.

In case I overcome my panic, I imagine my presence in every scene of my fears.

I am afraid of death of loved ones. Don’t want them to be sick, don’t want to face with death itself. I also have other fears such as: snakes, drunk men, to be alone, dark room. However, death is one of the sad and fearful occasion. Death is a moment at which life ends and whatever we did in this life wont matter.

We may escape presence, pureness and praying.
