Book Name:From Illness to Death!
stated, ‘مَنْ کَانَ آخِرُ کَلَامِہِ لَا اِلٰہَ اِلَّا اللہ دَخَلَ الْجَنَّۃَ’ ‘The one whose last words are ‘لَا اِلٰہَ اِلَّا اللّٰہُ’ will enter Jannah’. (Abu Dawood, vol. 3, pp. 255, Hadees 3116)
Regarding the above-mentioned blessed Hadees Mufti Ahmad Yar Khan رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه has stated: ‘Though one recited Kalimah throughout his life, he must recite Kalimah at the time of death because he will be forgiven by its blessing’. (Mirat-ul-Manajih, vol. 2, pp. 446)
It has become obvious that when a person’s last hour arrives, the people present around her should recite Kalimah Tayyibah, do the Zikr of Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ and recite the Holy Quran, so that she may also remember to recite Kalimah.
The people who succeed in reciting Kalimah Tayyibah despite going through the agonies of death and depart this life in the same state are very lucky.
Remember. In spite of doing Talqeen, if a dying person did not recite Kalimah, we could not say that ‘she did not die in the state of faith’.
The enviable death of the Beloved of Attar
Haji Muhammad Mushtaq Attari, late Nigran of Markazi Majlis-e-Shura of Dawat-e-Islami, had been ill for some time and passed away of the same illness. The Islamic brothers, who were with him at his death bed, have said: At that night, when the condition of Haji Muhammad Mushtaq Attari رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه started to get worse he رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه said: Turn me towards Qiblah. As per his order he was turned towards Qiblah. He رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه closed his eyes and started reciting Salat and Salam and Kalimah Tayyibah. He رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه remained busy doing Zikr and reciting Salat-‘Alan-Nabi for a long time in the same way. Then he رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه started reciting Kalimah Tayyibah ‘لَآاِلٰہَ اِلَّااللّٰہُ مُحَمَّدٌ رَّسُوْلُ اللّٰہ’ loudly. While reciting Kalimah Tayyibah loudly he went through agonies of death and after some time departed this life.
