وعليكم السلام ورحمة الله وبركاته
Having already raised this enquiry in private (plans ongoing...), I now wish to bring it forward publicly to highlight the following benefit ⤵️ https://t.me/womensbenefits/1174 If someone is dying in front of you, observe the following steps: 1. Speak only good, positive words in the presence of the dying person. The Prophet ﷺ said: “When you are in the presence of a sick or dying person, say good things, for the angels endorse what you say.” 2. Encourage the dying person to pronounce the shahādah: لا إله إلا الله - “Lā ilāha illAllāh” - You can prompt them gently by reciting it yourself so that their last word is the shahādah. 3. Do not engage in innovations that are not supported by the Sunnah — for example, reciting entire surahs specifically for the dying person, or other rites lacking firm evidence. 4. After the person dies, carry out the immediate realistic duties: cover the body, close the eyes and mouth, straighten the limbs if possible, prepare for the washing, shrouding and burial.
