Remembering Death
His Eminence the Great Scholar and Imam
Shaikh Abdul-Aziz bin Baz
(رحمه اللّه)

Question: 
I am often distracted and think about death, is there a problem with this?

Ruling: 
Thinking of death is something which is requested from the hadeeth, "Increase in remembering the destroyer of pleasures (i.e. Death)".  Remembering death contains benefits and preparation for the next life and readiness for the meeting with Allah the Mighty and Majestic.  So it is recommended for the Muslims to increase in remembering death and to be on his mind so that he will prepare for the next life.
