Is not fearing death considered reprehensible in Islam?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
Disliking death and fearing it is a natural human inclination. A Muslim should leverage this fear, making it a healthy one. As for whoever does not fear death, there is no blame upon them. However, they must prepare to meet Allah and fear what comes after death: the questioning, the accountability, and the trial of the grave.
