Reality of Death

IN THE NAME OF ALLAH, MOST GRACIOUS, MOST MERCIFUL

No one knows when and where one will die. No one even knows how someone is to die. In this respect Allah says in the Qur'an
"Nor does anyone know what it is that he will earn on the morrow: Nor does anyone know in what land he is to die. Verily with God is full knowledge and He is acquainted (with all things)" (Surah Luqman:-31:34)

Almighty Lord Allah (swt) says in the Qur'aan
"Blessed be He in Whose hands is Dominion: and He over all things hath Power; He Who created Death and Life the may try which of you is best in deed: and he is the Exalted in Might, Oft-Forgiving;.... (Surah Al-Mulkhat -67:1-2)
Every one of us has to die. In this regard Allah mentioned in the Qur'aan that everyone has to die including the Prophet himself:
Allah says in Holy Quran

"Truly thou wilt die (one day), and truly they (too) will die (one day)."
Surah Al Zumar (39:30)
Allah also said that every soul shall taste the death:
"Every soul shall have taste of death; In the end to us shall ye be brought back
.(Surah Al-'Ankabut The Spider 29:57)
