Duas for illness, death, and funerals
Duas when visiting the sick, for pain, instruction for the dying, condolence, funeral prayer, placing in the grave, and visiting graves.
Death is a teacher. The Prophet ﷺ taught us how to speak to the sick, how to instruct the dying, how to bury, and how to visit graves — turning grief into service.
The chapters gathered here cover: visiting the sick, the excellence of doing so, the dua of a sick person who has lost hope of life, the instruction for the dying (talqin), the dua for one afflicted by calamity, closing the eyes of the deceased, the funeral prayer (janazah), the dua for the advancement of reward during the funeral prayer, condolence, placing the deceased in the grave, after burial, and visiting the graves.
Each element comes with the Arabic text, translation, and source (al-Bukhari, Muslim, an-Nasa'i and others).
