لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ
La ilaha illallah
There is no deity except Allah. (Encourage the dying person to say these as their last words.)
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.

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