Condolence

Inna lillāhi mā akhadh, wa lahu mā a`tā, wa kullu shay'in `indahu bi ajalin musammā . . . faltaṣbir wa ‘l-taḥtasib . [Also good to say: ] A`ẓamallāhu ajrak, wa 'aḥsana `azā'ak, wa ghafara limayyitik.

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 May Allah magnify your reward, and make perfect your bereavement, and forgive your departed.2
