Are you afraid of Death?

No, I am not afraid of death but I prepared to face what is after it. I have worries about my family and that is my right.
My religion tells me that there is another life after death and that is going to be eternal one.
Death is a must. But no one can expect when his or her death is, and here comes the wisdom of God.
Of course, I have to think about my family after death and they have to be ready for this moment.

You cannot experience death until in your last moment and there is no chance to know how it looks like. Death is the only agreed fact in life. I don't think that I need to be frightened of it and worry about it as everyone should die one day. Death is very natural thing and obviously no one can predict how and when it comes.
I accept this fact and just try to live passionately not to regret my life after death, in case there's world after my death. Some people believe that your soul continues existing after your body is dead but nobody knows about what's going to happen after he or she dies. This belief is just based on an illusion of people who is still alive.

No, I am not afraid of death, maybe because of a bad experience that I faced four years ago. Then, I was inches away from death when I was involved in a car accident here in Doha. I was in the front passenger seat and I was hospitalised in a critical condition for almost two months. I can say that I have had a handshake with death. However, God wanted that I live more but it is a matter of time before it really happens. Such an experience was useful for me to know that life could be shorter than we expect and to an extent, to be ready for this moment. I think about my family after it happens but I have to prepare them for this moment.

No, because we came to this world and we are going back surely, so we need to be ready and prepared. We can live and enjoy our life as much as possible, be happy and help others because life is so short, so we must enjoy this beautiful world for as long as we live.
Instead of being scared of death, I think the best thing is to always remember death and be aware that it would come whether we like it or not and while doing this, we should also be thinking of our life and be grateful.
I am a Catholic Christian and I believe in the principles of my religion that every soul shares death. We also believe that there is life after death.

No, I am not afraid of death because that is the reality of life and being a Muslim, this is our very strong belief that everybody will die one day, but I hope and wish that I live a fulfilled life and die as a believer.
For me, I think in preparation for death, one must do good at all times as the reward would be good for the doer in the life after because what you do here will definitely have impact on you on the day of reckoning.
Our religion also teaches us to uphold five pillars which are; believe in oneness of Allah, five times daily prayer, alms giving, fasting in the month of Ramadan and haj pilgrimage to Makkah. If we are able to this, then we can say we have the key to paradise and there is no need to be afraid of death.
