Is it to be ruled that whoever dies and is unable to pronounce the Two Testimonies when prompted has met an evil end?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

There is no doubt that uttering the two testimonies (Shahadatayn) at the time of death is one of the signs of a good ending, due to the Prophet's (peace and blessings be upon him) saying: "Whoever's last words are 'La ilaha illa Allah' (There is no god but Allah) will enter Paradise." However, the absence of signs of a good ending does not indicate a bad one. Therefore, one cannot definitively conclude that someone who did not utter the two testimonies at death had a bad ending, for knowledge of that is with Allah alone.
