Derived from the word ‘ ﺳ َ ﻛ ْ ر َ ة ’ which linguistically means ‘intoxication or unconsciousness’ Agony of death: a situation of pain, endurances, weakness, difficulty, in between state of conscious and unconsciousness which one faces during the moments of the soul departing the body Sakratul Maut ADIL Knowledge Retreat | 27 March 2020

(Surah Al-An‘am 6:93) ADIL Knowledge Retreat | 27 March 2020
7. During Sakratul Maut ‘Aisyah r.a. reported that There was a leather or wood container full of water in front of Allah's Messenger s.a.w. (at the time of his death). He would put his hand into the water and rub his face with it, saying, "None has the right to be worshipped but Allah! No doubt, death has its stupors." Then he raised his hand and started saying, “(O Allah!) with the highest companions." (and kept on saying it) till he passed away and his hand dropped.“ (Narrated by Al-Bukhari) ADIL Knowledge Retreat | 27 March 2020
8. Reducing Pain of Sakratul Maut ‘Aisyah r.a. reported that I saw the Messenger of Allah s.a.w. when he was at the point of death. He had a drinking bowl with water in it. He would dip his hand into the bowl, and wipe his face. Then he would supplicate, "O Allah! Help me over pangs and agony of death." (Narrated by At-Tirmidhi) ADIL Knowledge Retreat | 27 March 2020

So if one is saved from it, then what comes after it is easier than it. And if one is not saved from it, then what comes after it is worse than it.” (Narrated by At-Tirmidhi) The Barzakh ADIL Knowledge Retreat | 27 March 2020
11. Questions in the Barzakh These questions will be asked by 2 angels: Who is your lord? Who made you aware of this? What is your opinion about the man who was sent on a mission among you? What is your religion? (Narrated by Abu Daud) ADIL Knowledge Retreat | 27 March 2020
12. The Favors & Affliction in Barzakh ‘Abdullah bin ‘Umar reported that Allah's Messenger s.a.w. said, "When anyone of you dies, he is shown his place both in the morning and in the evening. If he is one of the people of Paradise; he is shown his place in it, and if he is from the people of the Hell-Fire; he is shown his place there-in. Then it is said to him, 'This is your place till Allah resurrect you on the Day of Resurrection." (Narrated by Al-Bukhari) ADIL Knowledge Retreat | 27 March 2020
13. The Favors & Affliction in Barzakh “They receive good tidings of favor from Allah and bounty and [of the fact] that Allah does not allow the reward of believers to be lost” (Surah Ali ‘Imran 3:171) They will be exposed to the fire in the mornings and the evenings and on the Day of Judgment, they will be told, “People of the Pharaoh, suffer the most severe torment.” (Surah Ghafir 40:46) ADIL Knowledge Retreat | 27 March 2020
