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.
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.
