This book on "Death and tomb life" is, like the other works of Imam As-Suyûtî, astonishing in its exhaustiveness, it deals with a capital subject in the doctrine of the Muslim faith, because death is really the door to the beyond, it opens the obligatory passage (barzakh) towards the future life.

This is why the Prophet (SwS) enjoins us to think often about this death which comes inexorably, to prepare ourselves for it through repentance and good deeds. For the believer, death is not an end, but a good start; Death is the destroyer of the futilities of life here below. It helps the believer to refocus on the essential; for which God created it.

The strength of the details provided by Imam as Suyûtî in this book (one of the most complete on this subject), will help you to awaken your heart if unconsciousness has settled there, which will make you move forward towards God.
