Is death considered a blessing?

Answer

In the name of Allah, if death is a bridge used for passing to paradise, then it is a blessing, but if it is leading to entering the hell, then it is not a blessing. That is why the prophet (PBUH&HF) chose death over the eternal life when he was asked to choose between going to the hereafter and staying for whatever period he wants. He (PBUH&HF) said that he would go to the dominion which means Allah ‘the hereafter’. Allah knows best.
