Why are you afraid of death? Belief in God is enough to get over death.
Most people, if not all, are afraid of death. They abhor death and speaking about death. It is a cold subject that gives the shivers. Most people avoid to symmetries at night. They are afraid of ghosts. But in reality ghosts do not exist and dead people do not roam about like zombies after sun set. Death is a natural phenomena exactly like life. It happens to everybody. Like life and ageing, development, growing, maturity and adulthood as well as old age, death takes away all these things and turns man into ashes and atoms.
People are afraid of death because they thing it is the permanent end for them. They shall perish at death and they are afraid of perishing. Ending into nothingness is frightening, but people do not remember that they were nothing, coming from zero into being, into a human adult and mature, active and energetic.
They think they shall suffer at death and they do not want to put an end to their life. Life is a dear think for everyone. Death is an abhorring thing for everyone. Only those who believe in life after death, where all humans shall be brought back again to be held to account for their deeds in their earthly life, these are not afraid from death.
On the contrary, if they have done good and believed in God they welcome death. Some, and there very few of them, we have those who duffer a lot in their lives and to release themselves from suffering they wish to die and put an end for their agony. Death becomes a savior from suffering.
Belief in God gives enough strength to welcome death, if belief in God is strong and certain. For the end of every individual is death. It is the inevitable, unavoidable final step in man's being. It is the unknown that makes humans afraid of death.
If humans do not know what is going to happen to them then they become afraid, whether in their life or in meeting death. Death does not mean perishing permanently. Our body disintegrates and turns to its original structure namely atoms.
Then when humans are resurrected, for the believers in the Last Day and doomsday, the they are back in their old soles but with new body structure that is eternal. Death is a long sleep, but felt for as long as an hour, for believers in God and resurrection. It is a transitory short period of time waiting for resurrection.
But death is one of the last waiting events in our lives. We all are waiting fro something, like growing up, finishing school, getting a job, buying a flat, a car, growing up children, having a good retirement, getting recovered from an illness.
We all are waiting for one thing or another in our lives. Look at yourself and see the long list you are waiting to realize in your life. Death is the long awaited event in all your life. We all wait for death, but do not want to acknowledge it.
So we all preoccupy ourselves with one thing or another.
But in reality, this metaphysical phenomenon is the end point of our waiting list.
Unless you believe in God and day of resurrection you shall always be terrorized by death.
