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

Allahummaj'al khayra 'umuri akhirahu, wa khayra 'amali khawatimahu, wa khayra ayyami yawma alqak

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.

HasanAt-Tabarani, Al-Haythami in Majma' Az-Zawa'id

This du'a asks for a good ending — that our final chapter be our best chapter. The Prophet ﷺ said: "Actions are judged by their endings" (Sahih al-Bukhari 6493). A life that ends well, with good deeds and faith, is the greatest success.
