Question:
The listener al-Jarabi also has a question. He says: When I go to bed, I recite some of the dhikr (remembrance of Allah), and then I say: “O Allah, if You keep me alive, keep me alive in obedience to You and upon the Sunnah of Your Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him). And if You cause me to die, let me die while You are pleased with me, and make my last words: There is no god but Allah, Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah.” Is this saying correct? Please give us a ruling, and may you be rewarded.
