إِنَّ لِلَّهِ مَا أَخَذَ وَلَهُ مَا أَعْطَى وَكُلُّ شَيْءٍ عِنْدَهُ بِأَجَلٍ مُسَمًّى
Inna lillahi ma akhadh, wa lahu ma a'ta, wa kullu shay'in 'indahu bi-ajalin musamma
To Allah belongs what He took, and to Him belongs what He gave, and everything with Him has an appointed time.
When the Prophet ﷺ was informed that the child of one of his daughters was dying, he sent these words as consolation. They acknowledge that everything — life, death, wealth, loss — belongs to Allah and occurs by His decree at an appointed time.
