Question

My uncle had cancer for a number of years. Towards the ending of his life one day before he passed away He kept getting up despite him being unable to move talk, etc. He use to sit up and after praying salah, he use to sit up and start doing wudhu and he also use to write Allah on his hand. What could be said from this?

Answer

May Allah Ta`ala grant him a good place in the hereafter.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
