It's a title of a kind of old thread that has been revived 
.
Since I can't reply in that thread http://www.religiousforums.com/forum/agnostic-dir/93432-mosque-roof-collapses-killing-40-a.html, I am going to do it here and reply to some points made in that thread about God and His worshipers.
People die, this is a fact. The important question for the believer is your status when death comes to you...your last moments. You might die while cheating, having adultery, etc. and you might die while fighting for your people, prostrating to God, helping an orphan...and if you were doing these good things sincerely for the sake of God, then this is the best way to die ever and in that case, you're a martyr. You might die while God is displeased with you and you might die while He is pleased with you.
And these last moments reflect the rest of your life and we believe that on the day of judgment, you'll be resurrected in the same status in which you died.
Actually, I envy those who died while they were mentioning God's name and prostrating to Him...I wish that this will be how I die...if those who died in the mosque didn't die, they would die from a heart attack, in a car accident...they would die in a different way some day...death is death whether by roof collapse or by a disease but what makes the difference is your status before death; the status of your heart with God and and your last deeds.
And because for us this world is not our goal at all and it's not the end for us...death for the believer is like a tunnel that takes us from this temporary trivial world to the real life when we will see God forever and live in the shades of His love and pleasure eternally and this is the utmost pleasure to us.
So this accident doesn't suggest there is no God who cares about His worshipers, on the contrary, it shows His mercy for the sincere believers by giving them the honor of dying while mentioning Him. And those believers are not really dead, they are martyrs. Nothing is greater than this.
"It's death whether by killing or by cancer; it's the same thing. Nothing will change if it's an Apache (helicopter) or cardiac arrest. But I prefer to be killed by Apache." Martyr Al-Rantissi who was killed by an Israeli Apache.
