We answered the question according to this Coranic ayah: ‘’And nobody knows as to where one would die.’’(31:34). In fact only Allah Ta`ala knows what will happen tomorrow(see same ayat). Destiny lies in His Hands only. Hence on a general basis nobody knows where and when one would die. But this does not prevent Allah to inform anyone of his last hour. May be your dear one was informed through strong thoughts in the heart. But nonetheless, this cannot be taken as a preset example, since these are exceptions. The general ruling is to prepare before death. The Holy Prophet(saw) said:’’The intelligent is one who control his desires and do actions for his betterment for the life after death. The stupid is the one who follow his desires and then hope on the mercy of Allah.’’(Tirmizi) As such one should always be in preparation of death rather than speculating his time of death. Wallahou a`lam. You may find the following Q&A on the web:
