Sudden Death and the Ending of Its Owner

Question:
He asks: What is sudden death, from which the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) sought refuge? And does one who dies suddenly mean that his ending is bad?

Answer:
It has come in some hadiths what indicates that sudden death will be common in the last times. It is a seizure of anger for the wicked person and a relief for the believer. A believer may be struck by sudden death through a stroke or something else, and it becomes a relief for him and a blessing from Allah, because he has prepared for death and made himself ready for it and striven in good, so he is taken in a good state, in a righteous and good condition. He is thus relieved from the distress of death, the fatigue of death, and the hardships of death. As for the wicked person, that seizure is a seizure of anger upon him. Yes. May Allah reward you.
