Doing something good for a non-Muslims hereafter

· 13 Shawwal 1442 AH1 min readEnglish

Question

I had a close non-Muslim friend. He helped me in all my difficult situations and helped me to grow in all possible ways. Now he is no more. How can I support him for his hereafter world?

Answer

Islam is a prerequisite for the benefit of the hereafter. Without Islam actions are not accepted.

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