Invocation for the bereaved
إِنَّ للهِ ما
أَخَذ، وَلَهُ ما أَعْـطـى، وَكُـلُّ شَيءٍ عِنْـدَهُ بِأَجَلٍ
مُسَـمَّى.فَلْتَصْـبِر وَلْتَحْـتَسِب
162. 'Inna lillaahi maa 'akhatha, wa lahu maa 'a'taa, wa kullu
shay'in 'indahu bi'ajalin musamman . . . faltasbir waltahtasib .
Surely
, Allah takes what is His , and what He gives is His , and to all things
He has appointed a time ... so have patience and be rewarded.1
Also good to say:
أَعْظَـمَ اللهُ
أَجْـرَكَ،
وَأَحْسَـنَ عَـزاءَ كَ، وَغَفَـرَ لِمَـيِّتِكَ
'A'dhamallaahu
'ajraka, wa 'ahsana 'azaa'aka wa ghafara limayyitika.
May
Allah magnify your reward, and make perfect your bereavement, and
forgive your departed.2
