Death & Afterlife

اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ عَذَابِ الْقَبْرِ وَمِنْ عَذَابِ جَهَنَّمَ وَمِنْ فِتْنَةِ الْمَحْيَا وَالْمَمَاتِ وَمِنْ شَرِّ فِتْنَةِ الْمَسِيحِ الدَّجَّالِ

O Allah, I seek refuge in You from the punishment of the grave, from the torment of the Fire, from the trials of life and death, and from the evil of the trial of the False Messiah.

اللَّهُمَّ اغْفِرْ لَهُ وَارْحَمْهُ وَعَافِهِ وَاعْفُ عَنْهُ وَأَكْرِمْ نُزُلَهُ وَوَسِّعْ مُدْخَلَهُ وَاغْسِلْهُ بِالْمَاءِ وَالثَّلْجِ وَالْبَرَدِ وَنَقِّهِ مِنَ الذُّنُوبِ وَالْخَطَايَا كَمَا يُنَقَّى الثَّوْبُ الْأَبْيَضُ مِنَ الدَّنَسِ وَأَبْدِلْهُ دَارًا خَيْرًا مِنْ دَارِهِ وَأَهْلًا خَيْرًا مِنْ أَهْلِهِ وَزَوْجًا خَيْرًا مِنْ زَوْجِهِ وَأَدْخِلْهُ الْجَنَّةَ وَأَعِذْهُ مِنْ عَذَابِ الْقَبْرِ وَعَذَابِ النَّارِ

O Allah, forgive him, have mercy on him, grant him well-being, pardon him, honor his reception, expand his entrance, and wash him with water, snow, and hail. Cleanse him of sins and wrongdoings as a white garment is cleansed of filth. Grant him an abode better than his home, a family better than his family, and a spouse better than his spouse. Admit him to Paradise and protect him from the punishment of the grave and the torment of the Fire.

اللَّهُمَّ اجْعَلْ خَيْرَ عُمُرِي آخِرَهُ وَخَيْرَ عَمَلِي خَوَاتِمَهُ وَخَيْرَ أَيَّامِي يَوْمَ أَلْقَاكَ

O Allah, make the best of my life its last part, the best of my deeds their conclusions, and the best of my days the day I meet You.

اللَّهُمَّ اغْفِرْ لَهُ وَارْحَمْهُ وَأَدْخِلْهُ الْجَنَّةَ وَأَعِذْهُ مِنْ عَذَابِ الْقَبْرِ

O Allah, forgive him, have mercy on him, admit him to Paradise, and protect him from the punishment of the grave.

لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ

There is no deity except Allah. (Encourage the dying person to say these as their last words.)

إِنَّ لِلَّهِ مَا أَخَذَ وَلَهُ مَا أَعْطَى وَكُلُّ شَيْءٍ عِنْدَهُ بِأَجَلٍ مُسَمًّى

To Allah belongs what He took, and to Him belongs what He gave, and everything with Him has an appointed time.

اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ حُسْنَ الْخَاتِمَةِ وَأَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ سُوءِ الْخَاتِمَةِ، اللَّهُمَّ اجْعَلْ خَيْرَ أَعْمَالِنَا خَوَاتِمَهَا وَخَيْرَ أَيَّامِنَا يَوْمَ نَلْقَاكَ

O Allah, I ask You for a good ending and I seek refuge in You from a bad ending. O Allah, make the best of our deeds their conclusions and the best of our days the day we meet You.

اللَّهُمَّ اغْفِرْ لِحَيِّنَا وَمَيِّتِنَا وَصَغِيرِنَا وَكَبِيرِنَا وَذَكَرِنَا وَأُنْثَانَا وَشَاهِدِنَا وَغَائِبِنَا

O Allah, forgive our living and our dead, our young and our old, our males and our females, our present and our absent.

اللَّهُمَّ إِنَّهُ عَبْدُكَ وَابْنُ عَبْدِكَ وَابْنُ أَمَتِكَ، كَانَ يَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ وَأَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا عَبْدُكَ وَرَسُولُكَ، وَأَنْتَ أَعْلَمُ بِهِ

O Allah, he is Your servant, son of Your male servant, son of Your female servant. He used to testify that there is no deity except You and that Muhammad is Your servant and messenger, and You know him best.

اللَّهُمَّ اجْعَلْ قَبْرِي رَوْضَةً مِنْ رِيَاضِ الْجَنَّةِ وَلَا تَجْعَلْهُ حُفْرَةً مِنْ حُفَرِ النَّارِ

O Allah, make my grave a garden from the gardens of Paradise, and do not make it a pit from the pits of the Fire.

اللَّهُمَّ ثَبِّتْنِي عِنْدَ السُّؤَالِ، اللَّهُمَّ ثَبِّتْنِي بِالْقَوْلِ الثَّابِتِ فِي الْحَيَاةِ الدُّنْيَا وَفِي الْآخِرَةِ

O Allah, keep me firm at the time of questioning. O Allah, make me firm with the firm word in the life of this world and in the Hereafter.

اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ فِتْنَةِ الْقَبْرِ وَمِنْ عَذَابِ الْقَبْرِ

O Allah, I seek refuge in You from the trial of the grave and from the punishment of the grave.

اللَّهُمَّ أَجِرْنِي مِنَ النَّارِ، اللَّهُمَّ أَجِرْنِي مِنَ النَّارِ، اللَّهُمَّ أَجِرْنِي مِنَ النَّارِ، اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنَ النَّارِ

O Allah, save me from the Fire. O Allah, save me from the Fire. O Allah, save me from the Fire. O Allah, I seek refuge in You from the Fire.

اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ الْجَنَّةَ وَأَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنَ النَّارِ

O Allah, I ask You for Paradise and seek refuge from the Fire.

اللَّهُمَّ إِنْ كَانَ مُحْسِنًا فَزِدْ فِي إِحْسَانِهِ وَإِنْ كَانَ مُسِيئًا فَتَجَاوَزْ عَنْ سَيِّئَاتِهِ

O Allah, if he was a doer of good, then increase his good deeds, and if he was a wrongdoer, then overlook his misdeeds.

اللَّهُمَّ لَا تَحْرِمْنَا أَجْرَهُ وَلَا تُضِلَّنَا بَعْدَهُ

O Allah, do not deprive us of his reward, and do not lead us astray after him.

اللَّهُمَّ اغْفِرْ لَهُ وَارْفَعْ دَرَجَتَهُ فِي الْمَهْدِيِّينَ وَافْسَحْ لَهُ فِي قَبْرِهِ وَنَوِّرْ لَهُ فِيهِ

O Allah, forgive him, raise his rank among the guided, make his grave spacious, and illuminate it for him.
