There are Hadiths regarding the remembrance of death, what do they mean? Do we remember those who have died or think about that we will die one day?
Answer:
These Hadiths refer to a person thinking about the fact that he too will pass away one day. Remembering death will curb one’s desire for this temporary abode.
(Refer: Faydul Qadir, Hadith: 1399, Mirqat, Hadith: 1607 and Hadith: 5352)
There are also deeds mentioned in other Hadiths like visiting the graveyard as this also causes one to remember death.
And Allah Ta’ala Knows best.
