ASSALAMU ALIKUM
IN THE NAME OF ALLAH THE MOST GRACIOUS AND MOST MERCIFUL
It is Allah that takes the souls (of men) at death; and those that die not (He takes) during their sleep: those on whom He has passed the decree of death, He keeps back (from returning to life),but the rest He sends (to their bodies) for a term appointed.Verily in this are Signs for those who reflect.
Quran, Chapter 39 verse 42
This means: every time you sleep, Allah takes your souls,amongst many other souls he takes during sleeping. Then Allah decides who is going to be given another chance. For those who are blessed with another chance, Allah will permit their souls to go back to their bodies, the rest he keeps back from returning to life i.e.they die.
This means: each time you go to bed you should never be sure you will get up again, you ONLY have 50% chance for coming back to life. This means: each time you go to bed you should be
prepared for your hereafter. so recite dua before sleep which means
‘In Your name my Lord, I lie down and I in Your name I rise, so if You should take my soul then have mercy upon it, and if You should return my soul then protect it in the manner You do so with Your righteous servants.’
‘All praise is for Allaah who gave us life after having taken it from us and unto Him is the Resurrection.‘
The Prophet said, ‘Surah al Mulk is the protector from the torment of the grave ‘[Sahihul Jamiea 1/680, Hakim 2/498 & Nasai]
May Allah forgive us all and bless us with a happy life in this dunya and the hereafter.
