Muslim says "Allah is he who creates life and causes death. God created you and he has appointed a time of your death. Whether it is on the battlefield or in your home you cannot escape the time and place of death that has been appointed for you."

How do we Christians explain this according to Christianity?

Thanks and God Bless...

Edit: I posted on a wrong forum... I am not a non-believer, I am a Christian.

The Bible says death is our enemy.
The Bible says Death is 'gain'
The Bible says we are appointed once to die

Seems to me like we were not created to die. We were created to life in a perfect sinless earth. Then we sinned. At this point I think death is actually here because of God's mercy. Without it we would live in a messsed up crappy world forever. Now death is actually a release - For those who believe.
That's why Paul could say "death is gain"
