Website of the Office of Grand Ayatullah Saanei :: DEATH IN ISLAMIC CULTURE

DEATH IN ISLAMIC CULTURE

Death counts as a blessing for man, but Islam has allowed scholars, intellectuals, and scientists, and even recommended them to do their utmost in the prevention of death due to natural phenomena and disasters such as earthquakes and floods, and if they should have any shortcomings in that respect, the guilt will be on their shoulders to bear. The Compassionate God does not want man to be preoccupied with problems and worries, but the bearing of certain hardships are at the same time a kind of test for endurance, and help to build up man’s character and spirit.

Death, in Islamic culture, is not total annihilation but it is a kind of return and a new form of life: “But the abode of the Hereafter is indeed life,” (Al-Ankabut, 64).
