2585. Ibn 'Abbās narrated that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ recited this Āyah: Have the Taqwā of Allāh as is His due, and do not die except as Muslims.[1] And the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: "If only a drop of Az-Zaqqūm were to drip into the abode of the world, it would spoil the peoples' livelihood, so how about the person for whom it is his food?" (Ṣaḥīḥ)
[Abū 'Eisā said:] This Ḥadīth is Ḥasan Ṣaḥīḥ.

Commentary
'Have Taqwā of Allāh as is His due' means: Keep in mind the Greatness of Allāh and His Exaltedness as well as being the Creator and Lord of the universe. Obey His Exaltedness commands and be watchful of the bounds (prohibitions) set by Him. And since nobody knows the time and manner of his death, let everyone spend each moment of his life in obedience of Allāh so that he but dies in a state of Islam.
