In our rooted tradition, litanies - known as adhkār (singular: dhikr) or awrād and wazīfahs - hold potent spiritual, psychological and social significance. These repeated invocations of Allah’s names, praises or Qur’anic phrases are more than devotional formulas; they are tools for transforming the heart, disciplining the self, and drawing nearer to Allah (S.W.T). One form of dhikr is the remembrance of death and taking practical steps to prepare for it. 

Taken from A Tentative Guide to Islamic Invocations by H.R.H. Prince Ghazi bin Muhammad, this brief and invaluable collection offers what one needs to recite when approaching the threshold of truth and death. Drawing from the vast sea of Qur’anic verses and Prophetic supplications, it provides only the most essential litanies. A reader can be assured that this is all that is required as a loved one’s death, or even their own, approaches.
