The Dua at a Calamity — Allah Gives Something Better — دعاء المصيبة — إنا لله وإنا إليه راجعون
إِنَّا لِلَّهِ وَإِنَّا إِلَيْهِ رَاجِعُونَ، اللَّهُمَّ أْجُرْنِي فِي مُصِيبَتِي وَاخْلُفْ لِي خَيْرًا مِنْهَا
Transliteration: Inna lillahi wa inna ilayhi raji’un. Allahumma’jurni fi musibati wakhluf li khayran minha.
Meaning: “We belong to Allah and to Him we shall return. O Allah, reward me for my affliction, and give me something better than it in exchange.”
“If any Muslim who suffers a calamity says what Allah has commanded him — this dua — Allah will give him something better than it in exchange.” Umm Salamah said it when Abu Salamah died, wondering who could be better than him — and Allah gave her the Messenger of Allah ﷺ.
