AsSAlaamu Alaykum!
A friend of mine who is a convert to Islam was asking me a really good question:
"Since I am a caregiver to old people on their death beds, if one of them asks me to read to them from the Bible, what should i do?"
I didn't know what to tell her because these people are about to die..and is she helping them die as non-muslims?..please advise me on what I should tell her, I really appreciate it. JazakAllahukhairan.

As Saalamu Alaikoum,

Praise be to Allah.

We do not read the Bible to anyone.. not even ourselves. The reason being is because there is little in it that is truth and whatever truth there is is in the Quran:

Allah, Subhanahu Wata�ala, says, �It is He who has sent down the Book ( the Qur�an ) to you ( Mohammad ) in truth, confirming what came before it. � therefore, everything useful in this Book is mentioned in the Qur�an.

We do not aid in a person dying in a state of disbelief. Read Quran to them instead..

AND ALLAH KNOWS BEST
