What to encourage the dying person to say

The dua in its Arabic wording from Hisn al-Muslim, with its English meaning.

بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ

Bismillahir-rahmanir-raheem

Each dua: the Arabic, then a transliteration to help you say it aloud, then its meaning.

  1. ((مَنْ كَانَ آخِرُ كَلاَمِهِ لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ اللَّهُ دَخَلَ الْجَنَّةَ)).

    Man kana akhiru kalamihi la ilaha illallahu dakhalal-jannah.

    i.e. those around the sick should instruct and encourage him to say the shahadah. (He whose last words are: (None has the right to be worshipped except Allah.) will enter Paradise.)
