## About this text

The page’s own heading names it: the dua of Sayyida Fatima al-Zahra (s) asking for death, after the injustice that fell upon her. Its words are very few — “My Lord, I am tired of life and I am weary of the people of the world, so join me with my father” — and they belong to the months between the passing of the Holy Prophet (s) and her own.

The Centre keeps it among the texts gathered under the approach of death, where it is read as the record of her grief. It closes, as her duas do, with salawat upon Muhammad and his progeny.
