In Islam, Inna lillahi wa inna ilahi raji'un is the phrase Muslims recite when a person dies. The phrase is commonly translated as "Verily we belong to Allah, and to Allah we return."

"When a calamity comes your way, say:

To Allah we belong, and to Him is our return.

That is to say, "I am in the service of my Owner. And so, O calamity, if you have come with His permission and consent, greetings, you are welcome! For anyway we shall return to Him some time and enter His presence, and we yearn for Him. Since He will in any event release us from the responsibilities of life, let the release and discharge be at your hand, O calamity, I consent to it. But if He has ordered and decreed your coming as a trial for my dutifulness and loyality in preserving my trust, then without His permission and consent to surrender it to you, so long as I have the power, I will not surrender my Owner's trust to one not certainly charged to receive it." 17.Flash from Risale-i Nur
