On hearing of a death or calamity
إِنَّا لِلَّهِ وَإِنَّا إِلَيْهِ رَاجِعُونَ
Inna lillahi wa inna ilayhi raji'un.
“Indeed we belong to Allah (SWT), and to Him we return.”
Quran 2:156
Islam does not ask a grieving person to pretend the loss is small. It teaches words of return, patience, and hope for reward when news of death or calamity arrives.
Inna lillahi wa inna ilayhi raji'un.
“Indeed we belong to Allah (SWT), and to Him we return.”
Allahumma inni a'udhu bika mina-l-hammi wa-l-hazan, wa-l-'ajzi wa-l-kasal, wa-l-jubni wa-l-bukhl, wa dala'i-d-dayn, wa ghalabati-r-rijal.
“O Allah (SWT), I seek refuge in You from worry and grief, incapacity and laziness, cowardice and miserliness, the burden of debt, and being overpowered by people.”
