Wishing for Death

SUMMARY: The Last Hour will not come until people wish they were in the graves of others.

Abu Huraira reported Allah's Messenger as saying: The Last Hour would not come until a person would pass by a grave of another person and he would say: I wish it had been my abode.
حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ مَالِكِ بْنِ أَنَسٍ، فِيمَا قُرِئَ عَلَيْهِ عَنْ أَبِي الزِّنَادِ، عَنِ الأَعْرَجِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ ‏ "‏ لاَ تَقُومُ السَّاعَةُ حَتَّى يَمُرَّ الرَّجُلُ بِقَبْرِ الرَّجُلِ فَيَقُولُ يَا لَيْتَنِي مَكَانَهُ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith speaks about the coming of the Last Hour and how it will be preceded by a sign. According to this hadith, when the Last Hour is near, people will pass by a grave and wish that it was their own abode instead. This shows how much despair and hopelessness people will feel when they realize that the end is near. It also teaches us to appreciate life and all its blessings as we never know when our time may come. We should strive to make our lives meaningful so that we can look back on them with satisfaction rather than regret or sorrow.
