What is the fate of one who did not say "La ilaha illa Allah" as their last words, and does that mean they will enter Hellfire?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

The scholars have two opinions regarding the meaning of the hadith: "Whoever님의 last words are 'La ilaha illa Allah' (There is no god but Allah) will enter Paradise":

1. Everyone who concludes with the word of Tawhid (monotheism) will enter Paradise, either immediately or after punishment, and this is not exclusive to those whose last words were it. 2. Whoever님의 last words are "La ilaha illa Allah" will enter Paradise directly, even if they had mixed good and bad deeds before that. This is in contrast to other monotheists who had mixed deeds, for they are under the will of Allah.
