DUA FOR DELAYING DEATH (AJAL)

Twenty-fourth: The Holy Prophet (s) is reported to have said: Whoever would like to be granted long lifetime, victory over the enemies, and protection against violent death, must repeat this doxology (zikr) three times at the very beginning of night and three times at the very beginning of morning:

Glory be to Allah to the full of the Scale,

to the full extent of forbearance,

to the extent of the attainment of perfect pleasure,

and to the full measure of the Throne.
