What really separates the Muslim, the Muttakhi, the Mursin is the conscious and constant realization that this world is temporary and eventually we all have to leave and that is why the Quran and Sunnah remind us to think of death.

You know one of the most powerful verses in the Quran about Da'aww which is rarely used?

Allah says in the Quran this is an early Muttakhan Surah Surah Yunus.

If you doubt whether my religion is right or wrong, I don't worship your false gods.

I am worshipping the God that will cause you to die.

Our religion is true because the God that will cause you to die, Subhanallah, the kafir can deny Islam, the kafir can deny Astaghfirullah, the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam, but even the kafir cannot deny death.

Even the kafir cannot deny death so the Quran brings in death as an argument for the religion.

I'm not worshipping your false gods, I'm worshipping the God that will cause you to die.

This is the reality of what religion brings to the table.

What religion does is that it teaches us, life doesn't finish with death.

And when we remind ourselves to think of death, it's not so that we become morbid, it's not so that we become depressed,

it's so that we understand that our transitory life will come to an end and our eternal life, the ultimate life will begin.

So we prepare for that ultimate life, the life of the hereafter, that is the real life, the real life.

Our Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam told us,

frequently think of that which is going to destroy all of your pleasures.

Frequently think, akhfirul, qathir, always think about death.

And why should we think about death so that we live a productive life?

The purpose of thinking about death, as I said, is not to become morose or sad or to go into some depression.

No, when we realize that we are going to leave this world, we have to start thinking,

well, what am I doing? What's going to happen? Am I ready?

Well, Allah, we should be thinking about this.
