The questioner : Is it possible for someone who is not on the verge of death if death comes suddenly?
The Shaykh : Perhaps yes. Death is sudden in reality, and in it, the dying process occurs: angels descend, and the Angel of Death commands the soul to exit, so it exits and He seizes it. But these are matters of the Hereafter, meaning they are beyond the sensory realm. Otherwise, a person would ask: if a person dies suddenly, how does this happen? How do the angels arrive? How does the soul speak? It is said that these are matters beyond sensation; they are not measured by the senses. They are matters of the unseen, and we must believe in them. Or we say: such conditions are exceptions. These conditions that come suddenly may be exceptions to the general rule. However, the original principle is that there is no exception. So here, two matters conflict: the first is the speed of the death of the one who died suddenly in an accident or otherwise...
