”My Lord, Creator of the heavens and the earth!You are my Protector in this world and in the Hereafter. Cause me to die as a Muslim and join me with the righteous.”
رَبِّ فَاطِرَ ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٰتِ وَالْأَرْضِ أَنتَ وَلِىِّ فِي الدُّنْيَا وَالْآخِرَةِ ۖ تَوَفَّنِي مُسْلِمًا وَأَلْحِقْنِي بِٱلصَّـٰلِحِينَ
Rabbi faatiras-samaawaati wal-ardi anta waliyyee fid-dunyaa wal-aakhirati tawaffanee musliman waalhiqnee bissaaliheen
Surah Yusuf ,verse 101
This is the prayer of Prophet Yusuf Alaihissalaam.
It can be recited for the following purposes.
- Piety and righteousness
- To seek Allah’s Protection in this world and in the akhirah [hereafter]
- Protection of your faith
- To seek the death of a believer
This is the invocation of Yusuf, the truthful one, to his Lord the Exalted and Most Honored. He invoked Allah after His favor was complete on him by being reunited with his parents and brothers, after He had bestowed on him prophethood and kingship. He begged his Lord, the Exalted and Ever High, that as He has perfected His bounty on him in this life, to continue it until the Hereafter. He begged Him that, when he dies, he dies as a Muslim, as Ad-Dahhak said, and to join him with the ranks of the righteous, with his brethren the Prophets and Messengers, may Allah’s peace and blessings be on them all. It is possible that Yusuf, peace be upon him, said this supplication while dying.
In the Two Sahihs it is recorded that `A’ishah, may Allah be pleased with her, said that while dying, the Messenger of Allah was raising his finger and said – thrice,
(O Allah to Ar-Rafiq Al-A`la ﴿the uppermost, highest company in heaven﴾.)
It is also possible that long before he died, Yusuf Alaihissalaam begged Allah to die as a Muslim and be joined with the ranks of the righteous.
