Death Does Not Come Before Its Appointed Time

Question

Does death come before its appointed time or not?

Answer

Death does not come before the time that Allah the Pure has appointed for each one’s death; everyone dies precisely at his own time: [ar]كُلٌّ عِنْدَهُ بِأَجَلٍ مُسَمًّى[/ar] “Everything with Him is for an appointed term” (hadith).
