After Allah sent Adam, Eve, and Satan all together down to Earth, with enmity one to another, Allah promised Adam, Eve, and their progeny after them that they would surely receive guidance from Him; whosoever follows God’s guidance will not go astray nor fall into misery. And whosoever turns away from God’s guidance he will verily lead a life of distress. And as he was blinded by this life and could not see the signs of God, he shall be raised up blind on the Day of Resurrection.
Allah ordained mankind to live and die on earth, generation after generation, and they shall be tested by both good and evil to see which of them is best in conduct. Life on earth is the most important phase in our existence. We shall be put into trials, and according to the deeds we earned, our eternal fate will be determined.
Our life in this world (الدُّنيا) begins when God commands the angel to blow the soul into the human fetus in his mother’s womb and write down four things: his means of livelihood, his life span, his actions, and whether he will be
happy or unhappy. Every human being shall stay in this world for an appointed time. Death ends up man’s life in this world. At the end of his appointed term, man’s soul will be separated from his body and be taken back to God not one hour earlier or later than his appointed time.
Death is our first step toward the Next-world.
