Death & Janazah
On any loss or calamity
إِنَّا لِلَّهِ وَإِنَّا إِلَيْهِ رَاجِعُونَ اللَّهُمَّ أْجُرْنِي فِي مُصِيبَتِي وَأَخْلِفْ لِي خَيْرًا مِنْهَا
Innaa lillaahi wa innaa ilayhi raaji'oon. Allahumma-jurnee fee museebatee wakh-luf lee khayran minhaa
Truly, to Allah we belong and truly, to Him we return. O Allah, reward me in my affliction and replace it for me with something better.

Consoling the bereaved
إِنَّ لِلَّهِ مَا أَخَذَ وَلَهُ مَا أَعْطَى وَكُلُّ شَيْءٍ عِنْدَهُ بِأَجَلٍ مُسَمًّى فَلْتَصْبِرْ وَلْتَحْتَسِبْ
Inna lillaahi maa akhadh, wa lahu maa a'taa, wa kullu shay'in 'indahu bi-ajalin musammaa, faltasbir waltahtasib
To Allah belongs what He took and to Him belongs what He gave, and everything with Him is for an appointed term — so be patient and hope for His reward.
— Sahih Bukhari 1284

اللَّهُمَّ اغْفِرْ لَهُ وَارْحَمْهُ وَعَافِهِ وَاعْفُ عَنْهُ وَأَكْرِمْ نُزُلَهُ وَوَسِّعْ مُدْخَلَهُ
Allahumma-ghfir lahu warhamhu, wa 'aafihi wa'fu 'anhu, wa akrim nuzulahu, wa wassi' mudkhalahu
O Allah, forgive him and have mercy on him, grant him wellbeing and pardon him, honour his arrival and widen his entrance (grave).

When visiting graves
السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكُمْ أَهْلَ الدِّيَارِ مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَالْمُسْلِمِينَ وَإِنَّا إِنْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ بِكُمْ لَاحِقُونَ نَسْأَلُ اللَّهَ لَنَا وَلَكُمُ الْعَافِيَةَ
Assalaamu 'alaykum ahlad-diyaari minal-mu'mineena wal-muslimeen, wa innaa in shaa'allaahu bikum laahiqoon, nas'alullaaha lanaa wa lakumul-'aafiyah
Peace be upon you, O dwellers of these abodes from the believers and Muslims. Indeed we will — if Allah wills — join you. We ask Allah for wellbeing for us and for you.
