Dua to ease pain of death

In Islam, when someone is in the final moments of life, the focus is not on removing physical pain directly, but on asking Allah for ease, mercy, firmness in faith, and a peaceful return to Him. 

These supplications and actions are meant to bring spiritual comfort to the dying person and calmness to those around them.
