لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ

La ilaha illallah

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

SahihSahih Muslim 916, Abu Dawud 3117

The Prophet ﷺ said: "Prompt your dying ones to say La ilaha illallah." And: "Whoever's last words are La ilaha illallah will enter Paradise." This is not forced upon the dying — but gently encouraged. The person attending should recite it near them so they may be reminded.

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.

Admit him to Paradise and protect him from the punishment of the grave and the torment of the Fire.
