For the faithful, the world is like a jail.

For the faithful, the world is like a jail." [Sayyid, Hadi Husayn (1988).] Imam Muhammad Baqir [A.S.] said: "Death is like Sleep" "Death is like sleep; The only difference is that while sleep is of a short duration, death continues till the Day of Resurrection." [Sayyid, Hadi Husayn (1988)] Imam Jafar As-Sadiq [A.S.] said: "Death is Like a Sweet Fragrance" "For the faithful death is like a sweet fragrance which bestows freshness and delight upon him and removes all worldly vexation and dejection.

The pain at death time is as if all the parts of the body are being torn apart and nails are being hammered thereinto. In death the torture is as if a delicate silken cloth has been thrown on a thorny bush and dragged through it, and its fibres are torn apart. But death for a faithful is not severe." "Infidels are Recompensed for Their Good Deeds in this World" "For the infidel who has done good in this world, God creates ease at the time of death, and he does not suffer.

Allah grants him recompense for his good deeds in this world, but in the hereafter he is dealt with severely." [Sayyid, Hadi Husayn (1988)] "The Difficulties at the Time of Death for a faithful" The soul of a faithful leaves the body with difficulty.

This is because he may go purified from this world and so be saved from the chastisement of the next world." [Sayyid, Hadi Husayn (1988)] Imam Musa Kazim [A.S.] said: "Death Cleanses the Faithful" "For the faithful the example of death is like a dirty cloth being beaten on a stone slab, in order to clean it. Similarly, at the time of the agony, the faithful is subjected to severity to purify him." [Sayyid, Hadi Husayn (1988)] Imam Ali al-Rida [A.

S.] said: "Love of the Ahle Bait Decreases Pain at Death Time" "If the faithful avows his love for us (Ahle Bait) and freshens his faith, then the pain at death time decreases." [Sayyid, Hadi Husayn (1988)] Imam Muhammad Taqi [A.S.] said: "Why One Dislikes Pangs of Death?" "Some of the faithful dislike the pangs of death, because they are not fully aware of the comfort after death.

Just as children and the insane dislike to take bitter medicine and make a wry face, though the bitterness of the medicine is a forerunner of benefit (to health)." [Sayyid, Hadi Husayn (1988)] Imam Ali al-Naqi [A.S.] said: "Death removes dirt from the soul" "Once I went to ask the welfare of an ailing faithful, he was much afraid of death.
