A video of an Indonesian woman who died while reciting passages from the Holy Quran has gone viral on social media.
The video is believed to be from a religious gathering showing the woman slowly falling back as people rush to resurrect her.
The video, which is 22 seconds long, shows her suffering from a possible cardiac arrest, as she could not complete the recitation.
The woman was later attended by medics but was announced dead later.
Social media users who shared the footage praised the receiver's death saying, “it was an honorable way to die” and prayed to Allah to grant her a place in paradise.
In 2021, a Pakistani preacher died while interpreting a Holy Quran verse during a lecture.
The video, which showed the moment of the death of the Pakistani Islamic preacher, Sheikh Abdulmateen Asghar, while delivering a lecture on the merit of the Prophet’s companions, may God be pleased with them, also went viral on social media.
It was learnt that the Sheikh passed away while he was interpreting a Holy Quran verse, which says, “Indeed, those who lower their voices before the Messenger of Allah — they are the ones whose hearts Allah has tested for righteousness.
“For them is forgiveness and great reward.”
[Verse No.3 of Surat Al Hujurat]
