to make dua for death (not for anyone else) in islam?
Re: is it haraam...
So making dua for your own death? Lol, no. We should be welcoming death, and not fearing death, but we shouldn't want to die and make dua for it. You don't want to be suicidal.
Re: is it haraam...
do you have any reference from quran or hadith where it is written that it's not allowed?
Re: is it haraam...
I don't thin kthere are any ayahs that blatantly say making dua for your own death is haram. It's more common sense, but somebody might know more and have a better reference than me..
This is the only ayah that comes to me off the top of my head..
كَيْفَ تَكْفُرُونَ بِاللَّهِ وَكُنْتُمْ أَمْوَاتًا فَأَحْيَاكُمْ ۖ ثُمَّ يُمِيتُكُمْ ثُمَّ يُحْيِيكُمْ ثُمَّ إِلَيْهِ تُرْجَعُونَ {28}
[2:28] How do you deny Allah and you were dead and He gave you life? Again He will cause you to die and again bring you to life, then you shall be brought back to Him.

Supplication # 40
Here is a beautiful supplication showing how the Ahlul Bayt (as) of our beloved Prophet (saww) remembered death;
O God,
Bless Muhammad and his Household,
spare us drawn out expectations
and cut them short in us through sincerity of works,
that we may not hope expectantly for
completing an hour after an hour,
closing a day after a day,
joining a breath to a breath,
or overtaking a step with a step!
Keep us safe from the delusions of expectations,
make us secure from their evils,
set up death before us in display.
and let not our remembering of it come and go!
Appoint for us from among the righteous works a work
through which we will feel the homecoming to Thee as slow
and crave a quick joining with Thee,
so that death may be
our intimate abode with which we are intimate,
our familiar place toward which we yearn,
and our next of kin whose coming we love!
When Thou bringest it to us
and sendest it down upon us,
make us happy with it as a visitor,
comfort us with its arrival,
make us not wretched through entertaining it,
degrade us not through its visit,
and appoint it one of the gates to Thy forgiveness
and the keys to Thy mercy!
Make us die
guided, not astray,
obedient, not averse,
repentant, not disobedient or persisting,
O He who guarantees the repayment of the good-doers
and seeks to set right the work of the corrupt!

to make dua for death (not for anyone else) in islam?
[62:6] Say: "O ye that stand on Judaism! If ye think that ye are friends to Allah, to the exclusion of (other) men, then express your desire for Death, if ye are truthful!"
[2:94] Say: "If the last Home, with Allah, be for you specially, and not for anyone else, then seek ye for death, if ye are sincere."
[2:95] But they will never seek for death, on account of the (sins) which their hands have sent on before them. and Allah is well-acquainted with the wrong-doers.
Seeking death is a hallmark of true believers however praying for death out of despair or fear would obviously be wrong.
Re: is it haraam...
Instead of praying for death, ask for izzat kee maut, halat-e-eeman main.
Re: is it haraam...
It was narrated from Abu Hurayrah (may Allaah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “No one of you should wish for death or pray for it before it comes, for when one of you dies, his good deeds come to an end and for the believer a long life will not increase him in anything but good.” Narrated by Muslim, 2682
A version narrated by al-Bukhaari says: “No one of you should wish for death. Either he is a doer of good and will do more, or he is a doer of evil but perhaps he may stop."
Al-Nawawi said: This hadeeth clearly indicates that it is makrooh to wish for death because of some harm that has befallen one, such as loss or distress caused by an enemy, or other such hardships of this world.
Re: is it haraam...
Making Dua for your death is not Haram but not preferd or encouraged at all it is said in a Hadeed not the exact word so i say meaning of it is that make dua that till living is good for you ask ALLAH to keep you alive untill than and when death is good for you that ALLAH give you death
Re: is it haraam...
Narrated Anas bin Malik (radi'Allahu anhu): The Prophet (peace be upon him) said, "None of you should wish for death because of a calamity befalling him; but if he has to wish for death, he should say: 'O Allah! Keep me alive as long as life is better for me, and let me die if death is better for me'."
[Bukhari Book 70, Hadith 575]

Re: is it haraam...
I was listening to a speaker some time ago and she stated that death is the only thing that is guaranteed in this world. She, personally, makes dua for a peaceful death. By praying for death I mean praying for a peaceful one or one without pain, not a prayer which asks for death. I'm not sure if that would be halal.

In Sahih Bukhari Book ‘Patients’ Hadith Nos. 575, 576 & 577
Also Hadit No. 6480 in "The Book Pertaining to the Remembrance of Allah, Supplication, Repentance and Seeking Forgiveness (Kitab Al-Dhikr)’ of Sahih Muslim.
In Surah Baqarah chapter 2 verse 94 & 95
”Say (O Muhammad), “If the home of the Hereafter with Allah is for you alone and not the (other) people, then wish for death, if you should be truthful.”
” But the jews never will wish death for them, ever, because of what their hands have put forth. And Allah is knowing of the wrongdoers.”
When the Jews came to the Muslims to have a confrontation, they said the last home with Allah, i.e. paradise, is especially meant for the Jews only and not for anyone else. The Qur’an ask the Jews to seek death, if they were sincere and spoke the truth. The Qur’an continues and says that they (the Jews) will never seek death, because of the sins that they have committed. The only thing that Jews had to do at the time of Prophet (Pbuh) in order to win the argument and to prove the Qur’an wrong was to call for their own death. Even if any one of the Jews would have opted to say, “I beseech the Lord for my death” just for namesake, not that he actually had to die, the Qur’an would have been proved false. It was so easy to prove the Qur’an wrong.
The Qur’an continues in Surah Al-Baqrah chapter 2 verse 96
“ And you will surely find them the most greedy of people for life – (even) more than those who associates others with Allah. One of them wishes that he could be granted life a thousand years, but it would not remove him in the least from the (coming) punishment that he should be granted life. And Allah is seeing of what they do.”
