Inna Lillahi Wa Inna Ilayhi Raji’un in Arabic — Text To Copy

Below is inna lillahi wa inna ilayhi raji’un written in Arabic, ready to copy with one tap — for WhatsApp, Facebook, a text message, or a condolence post. Three versions are provided: the fully voweled text (with tashkeel), the plain text (without tashkeel, the version most commonly used in messages), and the complete dua.

Which Version Should You Use?

For a WhatsApp or Facebook condolence message, the plain version without tashkeel is standard — it displays cleanly on every device and matches how Arabic is typed casually. The version with tashkeel is the Qur’anic form, exactly as the verse appears in the mushaf, and is preferred for printed material, Islamic posts, and anywhere the text represents the verse itself.

How To Write It Yourself

If you want to type it rather than paste it, the plain form is five words: إنا لله وإنا إليه راجعون. On a phone, enable the Arabic keyboard in your settings; on desktop, Windows and macOS both include Arabic keyboard layouts. Most people, however, simply copy it from a reference — which is exactly what this page is for. Bookmark it for the moments you need it.

Meaning of the Text

The line translates to: “Indeed, to Allah we belong, and indeed to Him we shall return.” It is verse 156 of Surah Al-Baqarah. For the full explanation — word-by-word meaning, when to say it, and the reward mentioned in the hadith — see the complete guide to inna lillahi wa inna ilayhi raji’un. Urdu readers can find the translation on our Urdu page. If you need the text as an image instead, our downloads page has transparent PNGs and shareable cards.
