Allahummahj-a'lhaa indaka fee a-laa I'leeyeens wakhluf a'laa ahlihaa filghaabireena warh'amha birah'matika yaa arh'amar raah'imeen." (O Allah! Verily this is Your maid and the daughter of Your servant and Your maid. She has gone over to You and You are the best to be gone to. O Allah! we know not about her save good and You know her better than we do. O Allah! if she was a doer of good then add her good acts. And if she was an evil-doer then forgive her, and grant pardon to her. O Allah!

put her near You in the High Sector of Paradise and appoint her successor from among those relations who survive her and be merciful to her, O the Most Merciful.) If the deceased is a minor, recite the following: "Allahumaaj a'lhu li-abawayhi wa lanaa salafanw wa farat'an'w wa ajraa."
