Balance of Hope and Fear in Facing Death

When facing death, it is crucial to strike a balance between hope and fear. Imam Ibn Qayyim mentions that throughout life, one should lean slightly more towards fear to motivate self-reflection and hard work. However, as death nears, the wing of hope should rise, emphasizing reliance on the mercy of Allah. This balance encourages repentance and a positive outlook towards meeting one's creator.
