Likumar:

We call this in St. Lucia, 'Lanmò-Sibit.' You should understand that a person may leave his home in the morning go to work, and never return to his home. So the appearance or the state of good health, does not exclude the angel of death from extracting the soul when his time has arrived; when the term of Allah arrives, it cannot be delayed, if you only knew. So to suspect “foul play” simply because he was strong is perhaps the most nonsensical statement I've heard to date.

Surah Al-Waqia

That this is indeed a Qur'an most honourable, (77)
In a Book well-guarded, (78)
Which none shall touch but those who are clean: (79)
A Revelation from the Lord of the Worlds. (80)
Is it such a Message that ye would hold in light esteem? (81)
And have ye made it your livelihood that ye should declare it false? (82)
Then why do ye not (intervene) when (the soul of the dying man) reaches the throat (83)
And ye the while (sit) looking on― (84) But We are nearer to him than ye, and yet see not (85)
Then why do you not if you are exempt from (future) account― (86)
Call back the soul, if ye are true (in your claim of Independence)? (87)
Thus then, if he be of those Nearest to Allah, (88)
(There is for him) Rest and Satisfaction, and a Garden of Delights. (89)
And if he be of the Companions of the Right Hand (90)
(For him is the salutation) "Peace be unto thee", from the Companions of the Right Hand. (91)
And if he be of those who treat (truth) as Falsehood, who go wrong (92)
For him is Entertainment with Boiling Water, (93)
And burning in Hell-Fire. (94)
Verily, this is the Very Truth and Certainty. (95)
So celebrate with praises the name of thy Lord, the Supreme. (96)

Surah Nooh
In the name of Allah Most Gracious Most Merciful.

Lo! We sent Noah unto his people (saying): Warn thy people ere the painful doom come unto them. (1) 

He said: O my people! Lo! I am a plain warner unto you (2) 

(Bidding you): Serve Allah and keep your duty unto Him and obey me, (3) 

That He may forgive you somewhat of your sins and respite you to an appointed term. Lo! the term of Allah, when it cometh, cannot be delayed, if ye but knew. (4) 

He said: My Lord! Lo! I have called unto my people night and day (5) 

But all my calling doth but add to their repugnance; (6) 

And lo! whenever I call unto them that Thou mayst pardon them they thrust their fingers in their ears and cover themselves with their garments and persist (in their refusal) and magnify themselves in pride. (7) 

And lo! I have called unto them aloud, (8) 

And lo! I have made public proclamation unto them, and I have appealed to them in private. (9) 

And I have said: Seek pardon of your Lord. Lo! He was ever Forgiving. (10)

 He will let loose the sky for you in plenteous rain, (11) 

And will help you with wealth and sons, and will assign unto you Gardens and will assign unto you rivers. (12) 

What aileth you that ye hope not toward Allah for dignity (13)

 When He created you by (divers) stages? (14) 

See ye not how Allah hath created seven heavens in harmony, (15)

 And hath made the moon a light therein, and made the sun a lamp? (16) 

And Allah hath caused you to grow as a growth from the earth, (17) 

And afterward He maketh you return thereto, and He will bring you forth again, a (new) forthbringing. (18) 

And Allah hath made the earth a wide expanse for you (19)

 That ye may thread the valley-ways thereof. (20) 

Noah said: My Lord! Lo! they have disobeyed me and followed one whose wealth and children increase him in naught save ruin; (21) 

And they have plotted a mighty plot, (22) 

And they have said: Forsake not your gods. Forsake not Wadd, nor Suwa', nor Yaghuth and Ya'uq and Nasr. (23)

 And they have led many astray, and Thou increasest the wrong-doers in naught save error. (24) 

Because of their sins they were drowned, then made to enter a Fire. And they found they had no helpers in place of Allah. (25) 

And Noah said: My Lord! Leave not one of the disbelievers in the land. (26) 

If Thou shouldst leave them, they will mislead Thy slaves and will beget none save lewd ingrates. (27)

My Lord! Forgive me and my parents and him who entereth my house believing, and believing men and believing women, and increase not the wrong-doers in aught save ruin. (28)
