We ask God to envelop your father in His mercy. The abdominal illnesses he suffered make him a martyr, according to the hadith: "And the one who dies of an internal ailment is a martyr." Furthermore, his righteousness, his perseverance in prayer, and his utterance of Tawhid before his death are signs of a good ending, for the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "Whoever's last words are 'There is no god but Allah' shall enter Paradise."
