The ruling on one who dies after the remembrance of Allah at the end of his night
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Abu Ahmad says: My father, and all praise is due to Allah for His favor upon him, was among the regular attendees of the mosque and among the people of devotion. He prayed the 'Isha' prayer and returned home, and he sat with us in his room. He was remembering Allah and glorifying Him, and on that night he was engaged in much dhikr. Then he lay down, and we thought he wanted to sleep. He fell asleep, and when we woke up for Fajr and wanted to wake him, we found that he had passed away. Will the last words he said be considered to be "La ilaha illa Allah"? Will the one who says "La ilaha illa Allah" enter Paradise?
Answer:
Yes, if you hear him saying La ilaha illa Allah, or if he utters it and you do not hear him, then a good ending is attributed to him. Yes.
