It doesnt matter if you are rich or poor you are going to end up in the same place.
[Every soul will taste death. And We test you with evil and with good as trial; and to Us you will be returned.]
كُلُّ نَفْسٍ ذَائِقَةُ الْمَوْتِ وَنَبْلُوكُم بِالشَّرِّ وَالْخَيْرِ فِتْنَةً وَإِلَيْنَا تُرْجَعُونَ
Al-Quran 21:35
The likes of the greatest people to walk the face of the earth were promised to taste death. Amongst the pious, the noble, the strong and the wealthy still... every soul shall taste death. Your life is momentary. This world is transitory. This promise is inescapable. Every soul shall taste death. Take note of the lecture that makes every cell in your body stand up and listen. What are you preparing for?
The Prophit (PBUH) said the Hadith reported by imam Ahmed in Muslim, that the angel of death visits a person five times a day (in other narrations seven times in an other narration two times and in an other narration three times a day )
Imam kutubi says that the angels call out in the morning and says
" O men of forty (40) take provision, do good deeds before its too late "yet again when a person reaches a age of 50, the angels call out and say
" O men of fifty (50) your time is coming to an End, your life is coming to an end repent before its too late
" yet again when a person reaches the age of sixty (60) the angel call out " O Men of 60 have you forgotten the punishment of Allah, have to forgotten the Almighty Allah, you forgotten that you are going to meet Almighty Allah remember! down that day there will be no helpers
The Great Imam Qurtubi Says: That The Angel Of Death Is So Frightening, Is So Scary That All The Angels In The Heaven Fear The Angel Of Death More Than One Of You Fears A Lion Fears A Beast. And When The Angel Of Death, It Comes To A Faajir, It Comes To A Kaafir, It Comes To A Munaafiq, It Comes To A Zaalim, It Will Come In Such Force, That Its Feet Are On The Ground And Its Head Is In The Heaven, 12 Eyes, Black Face, Fire Leaping Out Of His Mouth Coming Out From His Nose And His Got 500 Angels Behind Him With Whips And Embers Made Out Of Fire. And When It Comes To A Faajir, When It Comes To A Kaafir And When It Comes To A Munaafiq Or A Zaalim, It Wouldnt Greet Him With AsSalamuAlaikum. It Will Strike His Forked Iron Rod On Him And His Forked Iron Rod Will Enter His Body And Will Enter Every Single Veins, Every Single Joints.
"Everything happens according to a Divine decree, and in the deaths of others are morals and lessons."
It is incumbent upon everyone to realize that death is hovering above us. At any moment, day or night, death can come.
Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) expressed in lucid terms the reality of our life: "The Hereafter is traveling towards us and this life is traveling away from us, so be from the children of the Hereafter and not from the children of this world. For today is action without reckoning (judgment), and tomorrow is reckoning without action."
From this saying, we can learn how imperative it is for us to improve ourselves, to renew our repentance, and to know that we are dealing with Allah, Who is most generous and All-Powerful.
Death does not ask a person for permission prior to arrival, nor does it give one an early warning about its being on its way:
No person knows what he will earn tomorrow. And no person knows in what land he will die. (Qur'an 31: 34)
