As a Muslim, the thought of death is not something to be feared or panicked about, as we believe in the words of Allah (SWT) in the Quran:

"And We will test you with something of fear and hunger and a loss of wealth and lives and fruits, but give good tidings to the patient" [2:155]

Rather, it is a natural and inevitable part of life that is accepted with faith and submission to Allah's will. The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said:

"Indeed, the soul is between the two fingers of Allah, and He returns it when He wills." [Muslim]

This belief in the afterlife brings a sense of comfort and peace to Muslims. The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) also said:

"Whatever you have been given, spend it on yourselves and your families. And whatever you have earned, earn it for yourselves and your families." [Bukhari]

This encourages Muslims to prioritize their relationships with Allah and others, as they strive to earn the blessings of Allah in both this life and the next. However, this does not mean that Muslims are indifferent to death. Rather, it is a reminder to make the most of their time on Earth. As the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said:

"Whosoever has been blessed with righteous children, let him pray for them (to Allah) for they are a source of comfort for one another in this world and an aid against each other in defending one's religion." [Bukhari]

In short, as Muslims we believe that death is not the end of existence but rather a transition to the next life. We strive to live a righteous and virtuous life, prioritize our relationships with Allah and others, and make the most of our time on Earth in preparation for the hereafter.
