Al-Akhir

اللَّهُمَّ أَنْتَ الأَوَّلُ فَلَيْسَ قَبْلَكَ شَيْءٌ وَأَنْتَ الآخِرُ فَلَيْسَ بَعْدَكَ شَيْءٌ وَأَنْتَ الظَّاهِرُ فَلَيْسَ فَوْقَكَ شَيْءٌ وَأَنْتَ الْبَاطِنُ فَلَيْسَ دُونَكَ شَيْءٌ اقْضِ عَنَّا الدَّيْنَ وَأَغْنِنَا مِنَ الْفَقْرِ

“O Allah, You are the First so there is nothing before You, and You are the Last so there is nothing after You. You are the Manifest so there is nothing above You, and You are the Hidden so there is nothing beyond You. Settle our debts and enrich us from poverty.”

The Prophet ﷺ used to say this before sleeping, combining four of Allah's names that describe His absolute encompassment.

Knowing that Allah is Al-Akhir means knowing that He is the ultimate destination and final refuge. All things perish except His Face. The wise person is the one who prepares for meeting Al-Akhir.

اللَّهُمَّ أَنْتَ الآخِرُ فَلَيْسَ بَعْدَكَ شَيْءٌ اقْضِ عَنَّا الدَّيْنَ وَأَغْنِنَا مِنَ الْفَقْرِ

Allahumma anta al-Akhir fa-laysa ba'daka shay', iqdi 'anna ad-dayna wa aghnina min al-faqr

“O Allah, You are the Last and there is nothing after You. Settle our debts and enrich us from poverty.”
