A lot of us Muslims think it will be SO EASY to say the Shahadah at the time of our death. So many of us think it will be a PIECE OF CAKE.
Let’s test ourselves…
When you fall down or trip what comes out of your mouth?
When you drop something & it breaks what do you say?
When your child spills all their food on the carpet, what do you say?
When someone overtakes you or cuts across your way, what do you say?
When someone takes your parking spot?
*Do you say ‘Bismillah", “Astaghfirullah’, ‘Allahu Akbar’, ‘La ilaha ill Allah”, ‘Subhan Allah’ or maybe... ‘Inna Lillahi wa Inna Ilayhi Raaji’oon’?*
OR
Do you say “Whoops” “Oh Sugar”, ‘Damn’, “S**t” etc?
Do you start swearing uncontrollably?
Do you use a foul word? Or resort to curses?
So in this Dunya while we are 100% awake & alert we cannot control our tongue, the first thing that rolls of our tongue is a SWEAR word?
WHAT MAKES US THINK WE WILL SAY THE SHAHADA WHILE WE ARE AT OUR DEATH? TAKING OUR FINAL BREATHS, SEEING THE ANGEL OF DEATH?
Set a good example. Every time something happens, make sure the words of Allah roll off our tongue. If we swear or curse in front of our children, they will also imitate us. So set a good example for our children as well
إن شاء الله
May Allah grant us all the ability to die with the Shahada on our lips.
I am researching the subject of positive affirmations for my own curiosity and would really appreciate it if you could answer the following question?
What words generally (honestly) rolls off your tongue without thinking in both a good & bad situation?
Jazak'Allahu Khairan Khateeran
(May Allah reward you with good in abundance)
For good things I say things like alhamdulillah allahuakbar or yess
For when calamity strikes the response can vary but alhamdulillah I don't really swear but sometimes I scream for my mum - Ammmaaaaaaaaaa!!
I should think at the time of death speaking at all would be hard if not impossible
This is exactly the point..
Soo if we are in habit of drumming out certain words/prayers.. surely the Shahada will come to us naturally when we need it the most?
I was thinking, when something goes wrong, most of the time its my own stupid fault or all of the time indirectly my own fault, rather than curse it would be better to say 'god forgive me' or even 'thank you god for teaching me this lesson' Or ' thank you God for your guidance sorry i didn't listen' or 'please god increase my guidance' or ' please God protect me from my own stupidity'
Are there any Arabic phrases that fit this context?

Good question Brother
The only thing that comes to find is
Bismilla or AstaghfurAllah.

Yes , you can say this ones inshallah and I hope it helps .
قَدَّرَ اللَّهُ وَمَا شَاءَ فَعَلَ
Qadarullaahi wa maa shaa'afa'ala.
It is the Decree of Allah and He does whatever He wills.(The strong believer is better and more dear to Allah than the weak believer, and in each of them there is good. Be vigilant for what is to your benefit and seek the help of Allah and do not falter. But when you are stricken by some setback, do not say: "If only I had done such and such..." rather say: "It is the Decree of Allah and He does whatever He wills". For verily the saying 'if...' begins the work of the Devil.)

الحمد لله على كل حال.
"Alhamdulillah 'ala kulli Haal"
Praise be to Allah in every circumstance.
