Dua to die with Imaan

The eternal salvation and well-being of a person depends on leaving this Dunya with Imaan. That is why the favour that Allah Ta’ala granted us in the form of Imaan, is an inestimable favour. It is the greatest favour. There is no gift that is more precious than this. That is why we should always implore Allah Ta’ala to preserve our Imaan as long as we are alive and make us die on Imaan through His immense and infinite grace:

"... فاطر السموت والارض انت ولى فى الدنيا والاخرة توفنى مسلما والحقنى بالصلحين"

"O Creator of the heavens and the earth! You are my protective friend in this world and in the Aakhirah. Grant me death in a state of obedience and include me among Your pious bondsmen." (S 12: V 101)

If a person leaves this Dunya without Imaan - may Allah Ta’ala protect us all from this through His grace and kindness - nothing will be able to save him. His wealth, his property, his family, his influence and his popularity, nothing will be able to help him!

"The day when neither wealth nor sons will be of any benefit. Except for him who comes to Allah with a sound heart." (S 26: V88-89)

In Aakhirah, only one thing will be of benefit! It is Imaan. Besides that, nothing will be useful.
