worshipped, fear Him as He alone is to be feared, and love Him and His Prophet Muhammad with a

complete love that is rivaled by nothing besides them. Let them obey Him and hold fast to His Shari'ah

(laws). Let them die only in a state of complete submission to His will. I remind them that no man or

woman dies before his/her time. The exact duration of each life span is precisely determined before we

are born, by the All-powerful Creator, may He be exalted. Death is tragic only for the one who lived

out his/her life in self-deception without submitting to the Creator and preparing for the final return to

Him. So, do not preoccupy yourself with my death, but instead, make the proper preparations for your

own. Maintain patience and self-composure as the religion of Islam requires. Islam permits female

relatives to mourn no more than three days, although a widow is allowed to mourn for four lunar

months and ten days, until her iddah (period of waiting) is completed. Wailing and excessive

lamentation is forbidden by the Creator, and it only reflects lack of understanding and dissatisfaction

with the will of the Creator, may He be exalted. Finally, I ask my relatives, friends, and all others,

whether they hold the same beliefs as mine or not--to honor my Constitutional rights to those beliefs. I

ask them to honor these documents which I have made, and not try to obstruct it or change it in any

way. Rather, let them see to it that I am buried as I have asked and let my properties be divided as I

wanted them to be divided.
