From the teachings of Hazrat Maulana Shah Abdur Raheem Sahab Dard (Rahmatullah Alaih)
Meaning
Al-Mumeet means the Bringer of Death: the One who has created death and who takes life at its appointed time.
Understanding the Name
Life and death are both in Allah’s hands: “It is He who gives life and causes death, and He has power over all things” (Al-Hadid 57:2). Allah “created death and life to test you, which of you is best in deed” (Al-Mulk 67:2). The Prophet ﷺ advised us to remember often “the destroyer of pleasures”, meaning death.
For the Sufis, this Name also points to the “death” of the ego: the lower self (nafs) must be subdued so that the heart can truly live. This is why the treatment below is for controlling the nafs.
Effects and reflections
Our life depends on the will of Allah; if He wills, we lose both life and its comforts.
Whoever knows that his destination is the Hereafter and that death cannot be avoided welcomes it calmly when it comes. Such a person is happy and content in every situation, saying: Alhamdulillahi ‘ala kulli hal, “Praise be to Allah in every condition.”
Treatment (Amal)
A person who cannot control his inner self (nafs) should place his hands on his chest and recite “Yā Mumīt” 60 times (and continue) until he falls asleep. Insha’Allah, he will soon gain the strength to control his nafs.
