The Effect of Supplication on Postponing Death
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: Does supplication postpone death?
Answer:
Nothing postpones death. If Allah has decreed it for a specific time, it will not be delayed.[Al-A'raf 7:34] So you do not supplicate to Allah asking Him to postpone your death. Supplicate to Allah that He cause you to die upon Islam and upon the oneness of Allah, and that He make your ending good.
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: Does supplication postpone death?
Answer:
Nothing postpones death. If Allah has decreed it for a specific time, it will not be delayed.
So when their time has come, they will not remain behind an hour, nor will they precede [it].
فَإِذَا جَاءَ أَجَلُهُمْ لَا يَسْتَأْخِرُونَ سَاعَةً وَلَا يَسْتَقْدِمُونَ
