Sakarat Al Mawt - What is Sakrat ul Maut By Sayed Mujahid Raza


Sakrat ul Maut or Sakarat al-mawt  is a Quranic term which  means “unconsciousness when one is about to die, which signals one’s death.”

It is also mentioned in Quran that sakarat al-mawt will find those who escape from death, sooner or later. (al-Qaf, 50/19).

Agony of death (sakr al-mawt) means unconscious state of a person who is about to die. Materials which cause drowsiness in one’s mind are generally called “muskir” or “musakkir”. That word is also used to mean agony, love, sorrow, heedlessness or faint caused by a pain, and that state is called “sakr”, which is what we also mean here. That is to say; what is meant with “sakarat” which is the plural form of “sakr” is the agony and fainting when one is about to die.

Quran says  "The angel of death will take you who has been entrusted with you. Then to your Lord you will be returned." (Quran Surah 32:11)

The angels are not partners, associates, or rivals with Allah, nor are they His children; but one must still respect and love them. Allah says: "And they say: ‘The Most Beneficent (Allah) has begotten a child [from the angels].’ Far removed is He from every imperfection! They (the angels) are but honored slaves. They speak not until He has spoken, and [then] they act on His Command." (Quran Surah 21:26-27)

They spend their time worshiping and obeying Allah, glorifying Him and praising Him. Allah says: "They (i.e. the angels) glorify His praises night and day, (and) without slackening (to do so)." (Quran Surah 21:20) [1]

Also Watch Maut kya hai and Kya Hoga Qabr mein.
