I am sorry sister Irum, but Allah saves the lives of all human beings, as He wills, when He wills. If their time is not up, they are not going anywhere.
We take medicine when we are sick. The meds are only a means to the cure. The cure itself is from Allah. We have to do what we have to do in order to preserve our bodies, and THEN leave it to Allah.

Here’s another good one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xx6v9CNcQ04
(though not as artistic!)
It really bugs me when Muslims use ‘i’ll die when it’s written for me’ as an excuse for doing something unsafe or whatever. I’ve heard people use it to put down delf defence classes or a healthy lifestyle, or as an excuse for doing stupid things like smoking or driving dangerously. You might as well wander onto the motorway and make dua, if you think things work that way.

Using seat belts is all well and good.
What I object to is being compelled to do so by the state and suffering penalties for it.
Who the hell do they think they are?

Putting on your seat belt is tying your camel, ofcourse Allah saves the lives of Muslims, and non-Muslims

@theManOfFewWords
The state compels you because the state has to pay for a large portion of the medical care and rehabilitation of anyone injured. Not only do seat-belts “save lives” – they also reduce critical injuries.
In other words, it’s the price you pay for living in a nanny state.

At first I thought the souls that left the bodies quick were the believers souls and that last guy was a non-believer who’s soul didnt want to leave and was fighting to stay but the Angel of Death was pulling…..Unfortunatley I was wrong :(

Yeah, who are THEY to tell us what to do, trying to save lives and all that?! I mean, what’s next? Making us stop at red lights or something?!
