The answer

We pray that this woman's end was good, for she performed ablution and prepared for prayer. Scholars have mentioned that among the signs of a good ending is death while in a state of obedience, as the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "When Allah wills good for His servant, He employs him," meaning He grants him success in performing a righteous deed before his death. The texts also indicate that people will be resurrected in the state of their deeds and condition at the time of their death, as the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "Every servant will be resurrected in the state in which he died."
