Tazkiyah and Remembrance of Death

tradition, man will on that day stand before God and his feet will not move until he has answered all the questions God will ask him. Remembering death means remembering the most delicate moment of man’s life. He must keep thinking about the time – which is certainly going to come – when his eternal future will be decided. Such thinking must certainly produce an upheaval. It is a fact that one who thinks about death in this manner will be extremely concerned about tazkiyah. He will try to the ultimate extent to attain tazkiyah from every aspect before death overtakes him, for then he will have reached a point where there is no time left for reform.
