Explanation & Benefits
Shaykh Dr. Abdur Rahman Freywai
Explanation:
1:
Thus, a servant travels toward that part of the earth to fulfill his need where Allah has decreed his death for him,
then, upon reaching there, his death occurs.
﴿وَمَا تَدْرِي نَفْسٌ بِأَيِّ أَرْضٍ تَمُوتُ﴾ (Luqman: 34) (“And no soul knows in what land it will die”)—this points to the fact that no one has any knowledge of which part of the earth their death will come in.
