How can we stop death?

Almighty Allah has created every thing in the universe. We believe on Paradise & life after death. First we need to find the main causes of death. In other words we need to define the death. What is death? There are different diseases which causes death. The reason is that Allah made the death the part of life & every body has to die after some time. But the time will come when all we will have dooms day & at that time every body will be alive again. As we find treatment to minimize the death by curing different diseases. We need to consult Allah in order to find the solution for this problem. The present time has shown different indications for dooms day but still there are something which has to be happened before the dooms day will occur. We can minimize the death tolls by curing different diseases & by getting more & more knowledge about each & every thing which is created by Allah. The modern science will help us to minimize death tolls. I can give you as an example of road accidents that occurred in Pakistan because of illiteracy. The people who drives on road have no sense. They never take training but get licence by giving bribe. People get certificates & degrees by paying money not after getting education. In my opinion we need to set up Educational Banks all over the world & education can minimize the death tolls & average life expectancy may be increased by getting more & more education. We don't bother about education & we don't have awareness that is the main cause beside the reason the reason that Allah has made it necessary for every one to die. But I am sure we can save every thing by promoting education to all parts of the world.
