Every soul shall taste death
كُلُّ نَفْسٍ ذَآئِقَةُ الْمَوْت
(Qur'an 21:35)
Meaning: Each soul shall taste death This phrase appears 3 times in the Qur'an. It means exactly what it says. Every soul will die, and every living thing will taste death
Hadrat Hasan Basri (mercy of Allah-be upon him) is reported to have said that when a person dies and the members of his family start weeping, the angel of death stands at the door of the house and says that he has not deprived the dead person of his livelihood. So long he had to benefit himself out of his ‘subsistence, he did. He has not cut the span of his life short. He is bound to visit the house again and again till all the members of the household would taste the cup of death. Hadrat Hasan (May Allah be pleased with him) is reported to have sworn to the effect that if the members of the bereaved family could have a look at the angel of death and hear him, they would have forgotten the dead body and turned to their own selves.
