كُلُّ نَفۡسٖ ذَآئِقَةُ ٱلۡمَوۡتِۗ وَنَبۡلُوكُم بِٱلشَّرِّ وَٱلۡخَيۡرِ فِتۡنَةٗۖ وَإِلَيۡنَا تُرۡجَعُونَ
Every soul shall have a taste of death: and We test you by evil and by good by way of trial. to Us must ye return.
Kullu nafsin zaa'iqatu almawti wanabluukum bishsharri walxayri fitnatan wa'ilaynaa turja’uuna
We have not assigned everlastingness to any mortal before thee. If thou diest, will they be everlasting? Every soul shall taste death.When a speck of truthfulness appears in someone's heart, the reality of passion for death will show its head from his spirit, for the promise of encounter is there. What sort of spirit would forget the promise of encounter? What sort of heart would seek from someplace else the repose that comes only from contemplating the Real? “The person of faith has no ease without encoun- tering his Lord.”O dervish, no good fortune is more precious than death. Those who have the religion place the crown of magnificence and generosity on their heads at the gate of death. Those who reap the fruit of the Shariah will find the sigil of good fortune at the door of death. Death is the sanctuary of “There is no god but God.” Death is the doorstep of the kingdom of the resurrection and the passageway to the visitors of the Real. Death is the center of the exaltation of the recognizers, the place anticipated by the spirits of the proximate. Death is the vanguard of solicitude and the prelude to endless kind favor. In the two worlds no one has the ease that the tawḤīd-voicer has in the grave with the One. He took along with him into the dust the banner of the submission and the kettledrum of faith in the resurrection. At the resurrection he will come out of the dust with the banner of the submission and the kettledrum of faith, just as kings enter into their own city.Dāwūd ṬāÌī was one of the great jurists in outward knowledge. His truthfulness was such that on the night he left this world a call came from the middle of heaven: “O folk of the earth! Surely Dāwūd ṬāÌī has stepped forth to his Lord, and He approves of him.”One of his disciples said that he saw Dāwūd in the throes of death in a ruined house, intense heat, fallen flat on the earth with his head on a piece of brick, reciting the Qur'an. He said to him, “O Dāwūd, what if you were to go out into the open air?” What would happen if you were kind to yourself for an hour and go out into the open air, so this heat would have less effect on you?Dāwūd said, “My friend, I want to do that, but I am ashamed before my Lord-that I should move my feet in that in which my soul is at ease.

This soul of mine has never had the upper hand over me, and in this state it is even more appropriate that it not have it.” It was in this state, lying in the dust, that he emptied his frame.Junayd said, “Whoever lives through his Lord will be transferred from the life of his nature to the life of the root, and that is life in reality. God says, 'We shall surely give him to live a goodly life' [16:97].”

Hadiis
It is narrated on the authority of Abu Huraira that the Messenger of Allah said to his uncle (at the time of his death): Make a profession of it that there is no god but Allah and I will bear testimony (of your being a Muslim) on the Day of judgment. He (Abu Talib) said: Were it not the fear of the Quraysh blaming me (and) saying that it was the fear of (approaching death) that induced me to do so, I would have certainly delighted your eyes. It was then that Allah revealed: " Verily thou canst not guide to the right path whom thou lovest. And it is Allah Who guideth whom He will and He knoweth best who are the guided" (xxviii-56).

Duwaaji hannde

اللَّهُمَّ أَحْيِنَا مُسْلِمِينَ ، وَتَوَفَّنَا مُسْلِمِينَ ، وَأَلْحِقْنَا بِالصَّالِحِينَ.

اللَّهُمَّ أَبْرِمْ لِهَذِهِ الْأُمَّةِ أَمْرَ رُشْدٍ ، يُعَزُّ فِيهِ أَهْلُ طَاعَتِكَ ، وَيُذَلُّ فِيهِ أَهْلُ مَعْصِيَتِكَ ، وَيُؤْمَرُ فِيهِ بِالْمَعْرُوفِ ، وَيُنْهَى فِيهِ عَنِ الْمُنْكَرِ.

اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ وَسَلِّمْ وَبَارِكْ عَلَى عَبْدِكَ وَرَسُولِكَ مُحَمَّدٍ وَعَلَى آلِهِ وَصَحْبِهِ أَجْمَعِينَ.

Ya Allah, hokku min nguurdam bana juulbe, wadda min maayde bana juulbe, hawtu min bee gooŋga'en.

Yah Alla, hokku ndee leñol haala peewal, ɗo yimɓe ɗooftaare maa teddinee, yimɓe ɗooftaare maa hersineede, moƴƴere yamiraa. Kadi bonannde ina haɗaa heen.

Yaa Allah, yoo barke maa e kisal ngon e dow maccuɗo ma e nelaaɗo Muhammadu e dow ɓesngu mum e sehilaaɓe mum fof.

اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ زَوَالِ نِعْمَتِكَ وَتَحَوُّلِ عَافِيَتِكَ وَفُجَاءَةِ نِقْمَتِكَ وَجَمِيعِ سَخَطِكَ.

Yah Alla, miɗo ɗaɓɓa reentaade e maa ngam majjude moƴƴere maa, waylude wellitaare maa, ɓuuɓde ňawu maa, e tikkere maa fof.

"لَّآ إِلَٰهَ إِلَّآ أَنتَ سُبۡحَٰنَكَ إِنِّي كُنتُ مِنَ ٱلظَّٰلِمِينَ⁠ ". [الْأَنْبِيَاءُ - 87].

Reweteeɗo alaa si wanaa An. Senayee wonanii Maa. Mi laatike jeyaaɗo e tooñooɓe. [Al-Anbiyaa: 87]
