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.
