"Everything happens according to a Divine decree, and in the deaths of others are morals and lessons."
It is incumbent upon everyone to realize that death is hovering above us. At any moment, day or night, death can come.
Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) expressed in lucid terms the reality of our life: "The Hereafter is traveling towards us and this life is traveling away from us, so be from the children of the Hereafter and not from the children of this world. For today is action without reckoning (judgment), and tomorrow is reckoning without action."
From this saying, we can learn how imperative it is for us to improve ourselves, to renew our repentance, and to know that we are dealing with Allah, Who is most generous and All-Powerful.
Death does not ask a person for permission prior to arrival, nor does it give one an early warning about its being on its way:
No person knows what he will earn tomorrow. And no person knows in what land he will die.
