Merits of the Remembrance of Death

Know, O dear brothers, that the man, who is engrossed in the world and cheated by its charming coquetries, is unmindful of the remembrance of death. He does not remember death and when he is reminded of it, he does not like it. Allah has said regarding such a man: "The deaths from which you flee away will meet you. Thereafter you will be led to the knower of the world seen and unseen. You will then be informed of what you did."
