Fathwa, - The best end for a believer's life

Question
In what situation for a righteous believer, is it best for Allah to
take his soul?
Answer
All perfect praise be to Allaah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify
that there is none worthy of worship except Allaah, and that Muhammad,
is His Slave and Messenger.
The best condition in which the soul of the believer is taken is
whenever he is doing a good deed or an act of worship. This will be a
good end for him, since what matters is one's final deeds. The
Messenger of Allaah, said: "When Allaah wills good for His slave, He
sweetens him." He, was asked, "What is this sweetening?" He said,
"Allaah guides him to do a righteous deed before he dies, then He
takes his soul whilst he is in that state." ]narrated by Ahmad in
Al-Musnad whose verifier deemed it:Saheeh li Ghayrih )sound because of
corroboratingevidence, i.e. due to the availability of other
goodchains of narration with the same content([
Also, it was narrated thatHuthayfahsaid: "Whoever says Laa ilaaha
illa-Allaah )there is none worthy of worship except Allaah(, seeking
the Countenance of Allaah thereby, and that was the last of his deeds,
will enter Paradise. Whoever fasts one day, seeking the Countenance of
Allaah thereby, and that was the last of his deeds, will enter
Paradise. Whoever gives charity, seeking the Countenance of Allaah
thereby, and that was thelast of his deeds, will enter
Paradise."]Al-Musnad - Shu'ayb Al-Arnaa'oot ruled it Saheeh li
Ghayrih[
Allaah Knows best.
