Fear of waswasah at the time of death
Question
If a person who suffers from waswasah, will he experience the waswasah when the angel of death is removing his soul?
Answer
Don't be overwhelmed with these types of stray thoughts and trust in Allah Ta`ala. The Quraan Shareef guarantees you that Allah Ta`ala will take care of you provided you have the right imaan and trust in Allah Ta`ala. When these thoughts occur then read "لا حول ولا قوة إلا بالله" understanding that nothing happens without the will of Allah Ta`ala.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

Where scholars differ, it’s safer to take the more cautious view.
