In Surah Almulk v 2, it is stated
67:2
ٱلَّذِى خَلَقَ ٱلْمَوْتَ وَٱلْحَيَوٰةَ لِيَبْلُوَكُمْ أَيُّكُمْ أَحْسَنُ عَمَلًۭا ۚ وَهُوَ ٱلْعَزِيزُ ٱلْغَفُورُ ٢
˹He is the One˺ Who created death and life in order to test which of you is best in deeds. And He is the Almighty, All-Forgiving.
— Dr. Mustafa Khattab, The Clear Quran
He created death and life to test us, to see who among us excels in doing good deeds.
We know death is certain, and we have a span of 70, 80, or 90 years of life.
Whether big or small, we must account for all of our deeds.
We are all aware of this, so let us strive to work on it.
May Allah (SWT) help us pass the tests of this entire life. Ameen.
With Salaam and Regards
