The religious bequest: submission until death

Sha'rawi holds that a bequest is spoken at the end of life, when the one who bequeaths speaks truthfully, and that the bequest of Abraham and Jacob to their sons was the religion God had chosen, so that the believer must not leave submission before death comes, since its time is not known.
