Thinking about death

[SisterM]

Salaam,

I hope someone here can advise me as this is really getting me down. Lately, i keep thinking about death, it started off with me thinking how i would cope with someone in my family dying but its come to the stage where i just keep thinking of my own death.

Because of this, i find it really hard to sleep and these thoughts just keep going round my head.

As a psychologist, i know that i've come to associate going to bed with having these types of thoughts and that it is a cycle im going to have to break but i need some advise to do that.

Is there anything i can read to get rid of these negative thoughts? I make dua to Allah everyday, asking him to rid me of such thoughts and it does work to an extent but then i still cant help it. I make dua for Allah to protect me and my entire family and for him to keep tragedy away from us but is there anything else i can do?

I'm sure alot of people go through periods where they think like this, but like i said, its really getting to me now.

Jazakallah khair for taking the time to read this, its mmuch appreciated.

I used to have these exact same thoughts, it got to a really bad state, all i read now is kursi, the last to ayahs of baqarah, also do 33 subhanallahs, 33 alhamdulilah, 34 allahu akbar, 3 times falaq, 3 times naas, 3 times ikhlaas, and but blow into your hands first then rub over your body, and read surah mulk every night for protection from the grave, but the most thing that helped me to get over it was my time is written so if its gonna happen its gonna happen nothing i can do about it, so why fret? and make sure your not doing any sins thats perhaps causing fear, thats all i can suggest i hope it helps

use the thoughts to open youre heart to allahs greatness and mercy.
thinking about death is a quality..not a curse


though it is sometimes linked to depression

give sadaqah daily..even if its just 10p

it cools allahs anger ..none of us are angels..but allah is MOST MERCIFUL


HUZOOR S.A.W. SAID..

if you remembered youre death you would laugh less and cry more

maybe allah has great things in store for you in the future
the future and now is very challenging
special people will be chosen
you may be one

ALLAH KNOWS BEST
