Doing something good for a non-Muslims hereafter
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.
