What to Say When Your Are on Your Death Bed
When one is on his deathbed, one
should pray as the Prophet did. He should read as much Qu’ran as possible, and
do as much remembrance as he can. On his deathbed, the Prophet said:
/ma’al-ladeena an’amal-laahu alaihim
minan-nabiyyeena,
waS-SiDDeeqeena, wash-shuhadaa-i, waS-Saaliheen, wa-hasuna
ulaa-ika rafeeqaa/
(“With those unto whom Allah hath shown
favour, of the Prophets and the saints and the martyrs and the righteous. The
best of company are they!”) [Surat
An-Nisaa’, Ayah 69]
He alsoprayed: /allaahumma-ghfir lee wa-rhamnee,
wa-alhiqnee bir-rafeeqil-a’alaa/
Translation
(O Allah! Forgive me, have mercy on
me, and let me join the Highest Company).
