What are the Signs of a Good End?

A good end only comes to those who are inwardly and outwardly upon the straight path, and an evil end comes to those who are corrupt and sinful, remaining so until they die without repenting. There are signs of a good end, some of which are seen by the dying person as he is dying, and some which may be visible to other people.

A good end means when a person was guided before his death to keep away from that which angers the Lord and to repent from sin, and to focus on doing acts of worship and good deeds, and then he died in this good state. The Messenger of Allah sallallaahu `alayhi wa sallam ( may Allaah exalt his mention ) said: “When Allah wills good for His slave, He uses him.” They said, “How does He use him?” He said: “He guides him to do good deeds before he dies.” [Ahmad]

The Messenger of Allah sallallaahu`alayhi wa sallam (may Allaah exalt his mention) also said: “When Allah wills good for His slave, He sweetens him.” He was asked, “What is this sweetening?” He said: “Allah guides him to do righteous deeds before he dies, then He takes (his soul) whilst he is in that state.” [Ahmad]
The signs of a good end that appear to the dying person are the things that give him glad tidings as he is dying, that Allah The Almighty is pleased with him.

These signs include the following:

1. Uttering the Shaahadah (testimony of faith) when dying
2. Dying with sweat on the forehead
3. Dying on the night or day of Friday
4. Dying as a fighter for the sake of Allah The Almighty
5. Dying of the plague
6. Dying of a stomach disease
7. Dying by being crushed by a falling wall or by drowning
8. Dying in childbirth or pregnancy
9. Death caused by burning, pleurisy and tuberculosis
10. Dying to defend one’s religion, one’s wealth or one’s life
11. Dying guarding the borders of Islam for the sake of Allah The Almighty
12. Dying whilst doing a righteous deed

These are the good signs which point to a good end, but despite that we cannot be certain that a specific person is one of the people of Paradise unless the Prophet sallallaahu`alayhi wa sallam (may Allaah exalt his mention) testified that he will go to Paradise.

Some examples of a good end from the lives of the righteous predecessors:

Safwaan ibn Saleem may Allaah have mercy upon him entered unto Muhammad Ibn Al-Munkadir may Allaah have mercy upon him during his last moments before death and said to him, ‘O Abu ‘Abdullaah! I see that death is difficult for you’. Then he kept consoling him until his face became as bright as a glowing lamp, then Muhammad may Allaah have mercy upon him said, ‘If you see the situation I am in now you would be thrilled’, then he died.

Muhammad ibn Thaabit Al-Banaani may Allaah have mercy upon him said, ‘I went to remind my father to utter the Shahaadah during his moment of death and said to him: ‘O father! Say laa ilaaha illallaah’ so he replied: ‘O son! Leave me, I am saying my usual sets of supplications, and I am in the sixth or seventh of them.'

When ‘Abdur-Rahmaan ibn Al-Aswad may Allaah have mercy upon him was dying he cried, so people asked him about the reason why and he replied, ‘I cry for the inability to pray or fast anymore,’ and then recited the Quran until he died.

‘Aamir ibn ‘Abdullaah may Allaah have mercy upon him heard the call for prayer during his death sickness and said, ‘Take me by my hand to the mosque’. He entered the mosque, joined the congregation in the Maghrib prayer, and managed to pray one Rak’ah (unit) before he died.

On the other hand, there are some examples of a bad end (we seek refuge in Allah The Almighty from that). For example:
A man was told to say the Shahaadah: ‘laa ilaaha illallaah’ at the time of his death, but he started to sing because he was obsessed with music.
Another person who loved to drink alcohol said, ‘Give me a glass of alcohol’.

May Allaah make us end doing beneficial good deeds that will make us earn Jannah and not Jahannam!

I think this is very close to answering your question. Just contributing to the OP's msg.

It was narrated that Mu’aadh ibn Jabal (may Allaah be pleased with him) said: I heard the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) say: “If a person’s last words are Laa ilaaha ill-Allaah, Paradise will be guaranteed for him.” Narrated by Ahmad, 21529; Abu Dawood, 3116; classed as saheeh by al-Albaani in Irwa’ al-Ghaleel, 687

It was narrated from Anas that the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) visited a man from among the Ansaar when he was sick and he said: “O maternal uncle, say Laa ilaaha ill-Allaah.” He said: “Maternal uncle or paternal uncle?” He said: “Maternal uncle.” He said: “Is it better for me to say it?’ He said: “Yes.” Narrated by Ahmad, 13414. Al-Albaani said in Ahkaam al-Janaa’iz: its isnaad is saheeh according to the conditions of Muslim.

May Allah guide us aright..

If someone does differ prophet Muhammad in belief in Allah. . Which is divided into 3.

Huluhiyah - in worshipping of Allah alone
Rububiyah - That HE is the creator of everything and has power of everything
Asmaulah wasifat - To believe in HIS attributes and HIS names.. To believe the things HE told is about HIMSELF e.g. HE has HANDS , FEET, HE descends from heaven everyday day at 3rd part of the night and others.. Also you should call HIM by the names HE said it's HIS OWN .e.g. do not call him god or olohun or eledumare or so . Non of those names fit any of his 99 names

My point is saying shahadah doesn't make anyone a Muslim but acting upon that shahadah .


A sufi that died saying shahadah.. That shahadah is not useful for him at all .


.
And saying shahadah before dying is no where to be found.. Be it during the death of rosul or any of his sahabahs nor tahabin or salafs..



Saying shahadah without its conditions is null and void. .


Would have posted the hadith where rosul said khawarij recites quran, fast, perform salah and they say la ilaaha ila Allah . . Still rosul said they are kufar..

But can't seem to find the hadith now

aril:



Ok...Where did the OP's msg contradict these beliefs?

However, can you explain what Olohun meant in your mother's tongue?

It has several meanings.. And olorun, eledumare, aseda, orisa and others are name of idols..

Those names are the names our fore father that are pagans give their idols

He said it plainly Just like tableeg always does. ..


..
That as long as you die saying shahadah , or died in jihad and natural disaster. . You are granted al jahanah..



..

And the signs of death.. He's wrong. He has no proof to defend it..especially 2,3,10..wealth

The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) was also present when the Jewish boy who used to serve him was dying. He said to him: “Become Muslim” – according to the report narrated by Ahmad (12381): “Say Laa ilaaha ill-Allaah.” Narrated by al-Bukhaari, 1356.

Bro.... i have been using my local language to speak with my God (Allah).... When u hear me say Olorun my definition is solely saying Allah. Whatever meaning others call it doesnt bother me. My intention matters.

I didn't mention salah.. What i meant is narwafil prayer during sujud and do this all the time. again.. i have been making dua's both in my language and arabic.... I make length Dua's in my local language and i knew Olorun, GOD Allah His everly listening.

Allah means THE DIETY WE WORSHIP .

intentions doesn't mean squat in ibadah.. Do everything exactly the way rosul did it.. If your intentions are good and your ibadah or belief is against kitab wa sunnah.. That's null and void.


To cut the story short..


Give hadith that allows you to call Allah another name apart from Allah and HIS 99 names.

Give hadith that allows you to speak in another language apart from Arabic during nawafil.

Asmaulah wa sifat.. Names and attributes of Allah is tawheed...

Calling Allah other than the names HE said HE answers to is shirk.. .
Saying what rosul didn't say on salah is shirk..




If you insist on speaking yoruba.. . Then call HIM "ENI TI A N JOSIN FUN"


Besides why is your Heart so hard to follow simple sunnah..

Rosul called HIM Allah, sahabahs called HIM Allah, salafs called HIM Allah..


Kilo take e ko pe Allah?

Absolutely nothing




Nawafil , obligatory. . Both are salah.





For better understanding.. Read 4 principles of tawheed by imam Muhammad bin abdul wahab .

The prophet said, in an authentic hadith reported by Imams At-Tirmithi and Ibn-Majah, that, “A person may say a word that is pleasing to Allah (S.W.T.) and he may not think much of it, but Allah (S.W.T.) will, (because of that word), bestow his pleasure upon him on the Day of Judgment, and a person may say a word that is displeasing to Allah (S.W.T.), and he may not think much of it, but Allah will have, (because of that word) put his wrath and anger on him on the Day of Judgment.”

Abdullah ibn Mas’ud reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “The believer does not taunt others, he does not curse others, he does not use profanity, and he does not abuse others.”

You said what the OP posted is wrong i brought forth hadith that point to where Rosul himself ask someone to say it at the point of death, what do you make of that? Show your hadith too and your source.

My Dua's are directly to my God either in the best form i understood it or the little way i know how to supplicate to Him in arabic.. You said Olorun doesn't mean God... that's up opinion. My definition of my God, Allah is Olorun in my mother tongue.

Did you know that non muslim in Malaysia refer to their god as Allah.. Even their prime ministers have been looking for ways to ban it but they haven't succeeded. I have been there, i have friends who refer to their god as allah during conversation but i know they ain't talking about my Allah.

Now do you think they re referring to same Allah as we muslim do?
