Muslims have been charged to always prepare for their permanent home as death is inevitable.

He described life as a temporary place, saying “our permanent home is hereafter and good deeds and sacrifices in the cause of Almighty Allah would be keys to enter Alijana Firdausi for all.”
The Qoreeb Missioner described the late Hajia Ramatallahi as a devoted Muslim, who will be missed among her family, community, especially the Qoreeb family in Kwara and Nigeria.
