Publisher’s Note
All praise is due to the Rubb (Lord) of the worlds. And may Allah exalt the mention of His veracious and trustworthy Prophet Muhammad, his household and all of his Companions.
The book 'Lahzat Sakinah' or Silent Moments deals with the science of death, which is the research work of brother Abdul-Malik Al-Qasim, a renowned and a pious scholar of the Qur'an and the Sunnah as will as Arabic language. He has studied a number of books on Zuhd (modesty, living a simple life) and soft advices written by As-Salaf As-Salih and collected important statements of the Companions of the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh), A'immah and religious scholars of the Ummah.
Nowadays, these worthy books are hardly available and due to their being in large volumes, people have no time to get benefited from them.
About death and after death, there is a sound creed in Islam and it has been mentioned and discussed many times in the Qur'an and the Sunnah. As Hasan Basri (Rahmahullah) said at his death time:
"A weak soul, but a tremendous calamity to come. Certainly, we are all for Allah and to Him shall be our return."
In view of its importance, Darussalam has rendered 'Lahzat Sakinah' (Silent Moments) into the English language with the prior permission from the author. We have translated so many books from the same author for the English readers which are appreciated by the readers all over the world.
Finally, I am grateful to all brothers who have contributed in bringing about this valuable book, and present this work as a humble effort of ours for His sake.
