Question:
What is the meaning of the trial of life and death?
Answer:
The trial of life is in this world, because as long as a person is alive, he is exposed to trial. As for the trial of death, it is said to be what befalls a person at the time of death, when the soul is being extracted. Satan comes to him and whispers to him, so he may die upon disbelief if Allah does not make him firm. It is also said that it refers to the trial of the grave, the trial of the grave and the questioning by the two angels. The apparent view, and Allah knows best, is that this encompasses what occurs at the time of dying and in the grave. Yes.
