Question:
He says: We seek your guidance on this question: Are there signs of a good ending for the deceased?
Answer:
A good ending has causes; that is, one must persist in righteous deeds until death comes to him, because he does not know when he will die, so he persists in righteous deeds, persists in repentance to Allah, and asks Allah for a good ending. These are the causes. Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He, said:[Ali 'Imran 3:102] The Muslim asks Allah for a good ending and death upon Islam; this is among the causes of a good ending. Yes.

O you who have believed, fear Allah as He should be feared and do not die except as Muslims [in submission to Him].
يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا اتَّقُوا اللَّهَ حَقَّ تُقَاتِهِ وَلَا تَمُوتُنَّ إِلَّا وَأَنتُم مُّسْلِمُونَ
