Summary
Death is described as the minor resurrection based on a hadith narrated by al-Bukhari and Muslim from Aisha, in which the Prophet linked the coming of the Hour to the death of those present. Sulaiman al-Ashqar and Ibn Kathir explain that whoever dies has entered the rulings of the hereafter. The time and place of death belong to Allah, so people are urged to be ready by increasing righteous deeds.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Untuk itu, setiap yang meninggal, maka telah berlakulah kiamatnya.
