It was during the time of Propeht Muhammad SAW. A Christian man once came to the Prophet SAW during a battle, he asked the Prophet: “Should I become a Muslim or should I fight along with you”?
The Prophet did not delay him a minute and told him: “Embrace Islam than fight”, so the man embraced Islam by uttering the Shahadah (La Ilaha Illallah Muhammadun Rasulullah) with the intention of embracing Islam, and so he became Muslim. Than that brand new Muslim went to fight and he got killed in the battlefield.
The Prophet was informed about that and He said about him: “He accomplished a little yet gained tremendous amount of reward” That meant that the man did not pray, fast nor work on gaining deeds, but before his death by short time, he sincerely embraced Islam and died as a martyr in which he gains lots of reward in the hereafter; and you know what a Shaheed is and how much reward he gets! But if he had died before embracing Islam he will not see Paradise at all.
Only Muslims enter paradise, non-Muslims will enter hellfire with eternal punishment. Dying as a Muslim whether the person was a jew, Christian or any other religion, once they embrace Islam, Allah accepts their submission if they are sincere. No matter how much sins a Muslim believer commits, if he died without repentance, he will deserve the punishment in hellfire, but he will not remain there forever because he is a Muslim, eventually he will come out of hell and get washed by a river near Paradise and than he will enter paradise, and once he enters he will forget all pain and hardship he had and the enjoyment will start!!.
We call upon every freind in here that is not a Muslim to save his life in the hereafter from hellfire by embracing Islam imediately by saying: I bear witness that there's no God except Allah, and I bear witness that Muhammad Is the messenger of Allah, and with the intention of embracing Islam, one becomes a Muslim.
We ask Allah to let us die as Muslims and to protect us from the punishment of hellfire. Ameen.
