(Ꜥārifīn), to the extent that your weeping and lamentation become prolonged due to it and you remain perpetually sorrowful.”

Further on, he states:

You should remain occupied in preparing for a good end. Be constantly engaged in the dhikr of Allah Almighty, remove the love of the world from your heart, and safeguard your limbs—in fact, your heart as well—from sins. As far as possible, avoid even looking at wicked people, for this too affects the heart and can incline your mind towards them.^[1]

Three Litanies for an End upon Faith

A person came to the Imam of Ahl al-Sunnah, Imam Aḥmad Razā Khān رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ عَـلَيْه, and requested:

“Please supplicate for my end upon faith.” The Imām رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ عَـلَيْه supplicated for him and advised the following:

1. Recite the following forty-one times every morning, with ṣalāt upon the Prophet at the beginning and end:

يَا حَيُّ يَا قَيُّوْمُ لَااِلٰہَ اِلَّا اَنْتَ

2. Recite سُوْرَۃُ الْکَافِرُوْن every night after completing all other litanies. Do not engage in conversation after this; however, if a necessity arises and you must speak, then re-recite سُوْرَۃُ الْکَافِرُوْن   after speaking so that your end ˹of deeds for the day˺ is upon it. اِنْ شَــآءَالـلّٰـه, your end will be upon faith.

3. Maintain the practice of reciting this supplication three times in the morning and three times in the evening:

اَللّٰھُمْ اِنَّا نَعُوْذُبِکَ مِنْ اَنْ نُشْرِکَ بِکَ شَیْأً نَعْلَمُہ، وَنَسْتَغْفِرُکَ لِمَا لَانَعْلَمُ^[2]                                                                 

صَلُّوۡا عَلَى الۡحَبِيۡب                          صَلَّى اللّٰهُ عَلٰى مُحَمَّد
