SHAFAQNA – It is narrated that death for believers is like smelling an apple but for Muslims the easiest state is like (the blow of) hundred strikes of sword on a body at the same time. That is why dying is difficult because each sin will add to diffiuclties of death and the pressure of the grave. It is narrated from the Prophet of Islam who said: The impact (force) of death is like hundred strikes of the sword [1]. In another narration, The Prophet (PBUH) said: Of the people of hell, the ones whose torment is the easiest are those who are wearing shoes of fire which boil their brains from the heat of their shoes [2].
