The parable of Lazarus and the rich man tells a different story of life after death in which the rich could recount a lot of things that happened prior to his death . Please read your bible and stop being in the fold of the ignorant
You are a big ignorant here.

Amigo, parable is not real life event. All characters and objects have symbolic meaning. That is why it is called parable.
Re: Why Do Many People Fear Death? by micflo28(m): 12:01pm On Oct 10, 2021
People are afraid of death for the following reasons
1. Unfulfilled goals and visions
2. Quest to grow to a ripe age
3. Hope of a better tomorrow
4. Uncertainty of their fate after death
5. Scared to die in Sin
6. Dying without purpose
7. Afraid to end the enjoyment of an amassed wealth
The fact remains that we must all be ready for Death. It often times does not take permission to come to anyone just as you did not get permission to be born into the world.

Am not afraid of death, the only thing I'm afraid of, is not making it to heaven after all the struggles and temptations.
Re: Why Do Many People Fear Death? by Kokaine(m): 12:04pm On Oct 10, 2021
Every soul shall taste death. And then shall you be united with the All knower of the unseen and the apparent, and you shall be informed of what you did.

Do not be deceived by the displays on the land by those who disbelief. A brief enjoyment for them, then after that is a home in hell fire, and how bad is that end!

Fear Allah and believe in all His prophets. Do not judge a book by its cover. Investigate properly what choices you are making before death meets you and you discover that the media image of Islam is all you had.

[quote author=Omooba77 post=106604382]Why do many people fear death? ]

Day of death is better than day of birth. Better to go to a funeral home than to go jaiye in a club. At the moment of my death I will wear the biggest smile on my face and feel the greatest joy in my heart. Have a party at my funeral,let everybody rock it. Anything that causes fear is borne out of ignorance. No space for fear in my life. Bliss all the way.

And for your information, Jesus Christ only spoke about heaven once but spoke about Hell fire about 11 times . In fact , Hell was the object of His ministry. Which why He said" Depart from Me into the everlasting fire(Hell) prepared for the Devil and his Angel's (Matt25:41). And if you think this was another parable, read the book of Revelation and see the final judgement of Satan .

As Isaac Asimov said, death is peaceful, it's the transition to death that's hard.

The lake of fire is a symbol of eternal destruction. It is the same as Gehenna, but it is different from hell, which is the common grave of mankind.

Lake of fire is not a literal lake.
The five Bible verses that mention “the lake of fire” show it to be a symbol rather than a literal lake. (Revelation 19:20; 20:10, 14, 15; 21:cool The following are cast into the lake of fire:

The Devil. (Revelation 20:10) As a spirit creature, the Devil cannot be harmed by literal fire.​—Exodus 3:2; Judges 13:20.

Death. (Revelation 20:14) This is not a literal entity but represents a state of inactivity, the absence of life. (Ecclesiastes 9:​10) Death cannot literally be burned.

“The wild beast” and “the false prophet.” (Revelation 19:20) Since these are symbols, doesn’t it seem reasonable to conclude that the lake they are thrown into is also a symbol?​—Revelation 13:11, 12; 16:13.

Fire is a symbol of eternal destruction
The Bible says that the lake of fire “means the second death.” (Revelation 20:14; 21:cool The first kind of death mentioned in the Bible resulted from Adam’s sin. This death can be reversed by resurrection and will eventually be eliminated by God.​—1 Corinthians 15:21, 22, 26.

There is no release from the symbolic lake of fire

The lake of fire represents a different, or second, kind of death. Although it too represents a state of total inactivity, it is different in that the Bible says nothing about a resurrection from the second death. For example, the Bible says that Jesus has “the keys of hell and of death,” showing that he has the authority to release people from the death brought by Adam’s sin. (Revelation 1:​18; 20:13, King James Version) However, neither Jesus nor anyone else has a key to the lake of fire. That symbolic lake represents eternal punishment in the form of permanent destruction.​—2 Thessalonians 1:9.

Why do humans fear? You writing this post is scared as a human. The reason for your fear is the reason for your cling to religion. Whoever has or think spirituality and money is a sin to humanity. Death is a painful truth and the sweetest love I have seen. No death no life. Death comes before life
