SIGNS OF A BEAUTIFUL MAUT & ELIMINATION OF IMAAN
SIGNS OF A BEAUTIFUL MAUT
Taufeeq to render good deeds is a sign of the bounty of a beautiful Maut.
It is said in the Hadith: “When Allah Ta’ala desires goodness for a person, He sends an Angel to that person one year before his Maut. The Angel exhorts him to do acts of virtue. He thus dies with goodness. People then praise such a person who has died in this manner.
When the time of his Maut arrives, he sees the bounties whichAllah has prepared for him. He thus desires to attain those bounties. At that moment he loves to meet Allah, and Allah loves
to meet him.
When Allah wills evil for a person, He appoints for that person a shaitaan one year before his death. This shaitaan deceives and misleads him. He then dies in the worst of states.
May Allah Ta’ala save us.
ELIMINATION OF IMAAN
Imaan is snatched away at the time of Maut from three types of persons:
• One who persists in bid’ah
• One who makes haraam lawful (halaal).
• One who claims that he has a haal (a spiritual state) with Allah whilst he has no such haal.
