As one of the basic problems of humanity, death has been a subject, which philosophers, men of god and scientist have been working on for centuries. Debates, which started with Socrates and Plato, on soul and death have been developed by stoic philosophers, and solutions to defeat the fear of death have been sought with the help of philosophy and wisdom. The death has not been perceived as a source of fear for the stoic philosophers, but as a philosophy of life. Thus, the meaning assigned to death has been tried to be understood with philosophy. The effect of the ancient Greek thought tradition, which had continued through epicurean, stoic, neoplatonic and then scholastic philosophers on many subjects, had also been reflected on Islamic thought. Plato's and Aristoteles' studies on soul had been developed by stoic and neoplatonic eclectic thoughts. Stoics accepted that the death is a necessity of natural law. Since there is no solution for death, what matters for them is to seek a solution for the fear of death. Mental solutions, which had been developed by stoic philosophers for this matter, guided Islamic philosophers, as well. Indeed, there are works in Islamic world like Risâle fi'lHile li-def'i'l ahzân, fî Hikmeti'l-mevt ve'l-hayât as the 15th epistle of İhvân es-Sâfâ from AlKindi, el-Havf mine'l-mevt from Ibn Sina (Avicenna), et-Tıbbu'r-rûhânî from Muhammad ibn Zakariya al-Razi, Kitabu Zikri'l-mevt and ma ba'dehu from Gazzali. When we look at these works we see that there are similarities with the thoughts of stoic philosophers, especially with the thoughts of Cicero, Seneca, Epictetus and Marcus Aurelius about the death and the fear of death. In this manner the article discusses how stoic philosophers influenced the Islamic philosophers' thoughts on death and the fear of death, and it brings assessments on this matter.
