Question

I read in the book spectacle of death that Husart Esa A.S. suffered pangs and agonies of death and a women who had done good deeds also suffered them in her grave. can u tell me if this is true and explain in more detail what pangs and agonies of death really are.

Answer

Whilst Rasulullah (Sallallaahu Alayhi Wasallam) was in the throes of death, he commented, 'Verily there are difficulties at the time of death.' The comment is indicative that every person experiences the pain of death. That, however, is not a sign of any evil.

and Allah Ta'ala Knows Best
