Among the premises of the last day there is death, which is the small upright position, when the term of each one will arrive, which will make us pass from here below to the water beyond. Allah reminds servants of death, for when death comes, the deeds of man are finished and it cannot be postponed.

Allah, the Most High said:

"[9] O believers! Do not be distracted by your riches and your children from the remembrance of God! Those who do so will be the real losers. [10] Give therefore in charitable works part of the goods which We have provided for you, before death comes and surprises one of you and he says: "Lord, grant me a short time to give alms and to be of the number of the virtuous!" [11] Now, God never grants a respite to a soul whose term has expired. God is well informed of what you are doing."

(Surah 63: The Hypocrites (Al-Munâfiqûn))
