Don't say "O Allah, make us reach Ramadan without being lost or losing others."

Instead say "O Allah, keep us safe for Ramadan, keep Ramadan safe for us, and accept it from us."

Question:
What is the ruling on saying: "O Allah, make us reach Ramadan without losing or being lost"?

Answer:
If the intention is to live long enough to fast the entire month of Ramadan, it is better to supplicate with:
"O Allah, keep us safe for Ramadan, keep Ramadan safe for us, and accept it from us, O Lord of the worlds."

The phrase "without losing or being lost" is not permissible because it involves objecting to Allah's decree, and death is a reality for all people.

It is a phrase that we have not heard from the Salaf or in any narrations, as if a person refuses to die or for someone he loves to die!!

By the great scholar: Muhammad bin Salih Al-Uthaymeen, may Allah have mercy on him.
