For us Muslims, we should take a lesson from the deaths of people, especially young people, and realize that at some point death will also come upon us - not when we are ready for it, but when it has been decreed for us. Many people today focus on how to live longer and how to enjoy their lives to the fullest, but they neglect correcting their own selves until it is too late. At the time the Angel of Death comes to any one of us, we certainly will not be able to say, "Not now, I'm not ready."

Far from being a weakness or social anxiety, it is considered a fundamental branch of faith that guides individuals away from indecent actions and helps them maintain self-respect, dignity, and a strong consciousness of Allah.
