This collection of 33 duas has been specially selected by Shaykh Haytham Tamim, for their comprehensive nature and beauty.

Beginning with 3 duas from the Quran, we have a selection of duas from hadith, including the best duas for forgiveness, dua Qunut, and dua istikhara to help in making decisions. At the end we have the deep dua of Imam Ghazali and Shaykh Haytham’s dua for peace in our troubled times.

These supplications touch on various aspects of our lives, asking Allah, the One who loves us to call on Him, for purity, protection and elevation.

Dua is a means to draw closer to Him. They also remind us of our complete dependence on Him and His infinite mercy and wisdom.

Duas from the Quran

Our Lord, grant us from among our wives and offspring comfort to our eyes and make us leaders [i.e., examples] for the righteous. (Quran 25:74)

رَبَّنَآ ءَاتِنَا فِي ٱلدُّنۡيَا حَسَنَةٗ وَفِي ٱلۡأٓخِرَةِ حَسَنَةٗ وَقِنَا عَذَابَ ٱلنَّارِ

Rabbana atina fid-dunya hasanatan wa fil-akhirati hasanatan wa qina ‘adhaban-nar.

O Allah, grant us in this world good and in the Hereafter good, and protect us from the punishment of the Fire. (Quran 2:210)

Duas of the Prophet (peace be upon him)

اللَّهُمَّ اغْفِرْ لي، وَارْحَمْنِي، وَاهْدِني، وَعافِني، وَارْزُقْني

Allahumma ighfir li, wa irhamni, wa ihdini, wa ‘afini, wa irzuqni

O Allah, forgive me, have mercy on me, guide me, grant me health, and provide for me. (Tirmidhi)

اللَّهُمَّ اغْفرْ لي، وَارْحَمْني، وَعافني، وَارْزُقْني، فإنَّ هَؤُلاءِ تَجْمَعُ لَكَ دُنْياكَ وآخِرَتَكَ 

Allahumma ighfir li, wa irhamni, wa ‘afini, wa irzuqni, fa’inna ha’ula’ tajma’u laka dunyaaka wa akhirataka.

O Allah, forgive me, have mercy on me, grant me health, and provide for me, for these words encompass your worldly life and your Hereafter. (Muslim)

اللَّهُمَّ اهْدِنِي لأَحْسَنِ الأَعْمَالِ وَأَحْسَنِ الأَخْلاَقِ لاَ يَهْدِي لأَحْسَنِهَا إِلاَّ أَنْتَ، وَقِنِي سَيِّئَ الأَعْمَالِ وَسَيِّئَ الأَخْلاَقِ لاَ يَقِي سَيِّئَهَا إِلاَّ أَنْتَ

Allahumma ihdini li-ahsani al-a’maali wa ahsani al-akhlaaqi la yahdi li-ahsaniha illa anta, wa qini sayyi’a al-amaali wa sayyi’a al-akhlaaqi la yaqee sayyi’aha illa anta.

O Allah, guide me to the best of deeds and the best of character, for none can guide to the best of them but You. And protect me from bad deeds and bad character, for none can protect against them but You. (Nasa’i)

يَا مُقَلِّبَ الْقُلُوبِ ثَبِّتْ قَلْبِي عَلَى دِينِكَ

Yā Muqallibal-qulub, thabbit qalbī `ala dīnik

O Changer of hearts, make my heart firm upon Your religion. (Tirmidhi)

 ‏اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ عِلْمًا نَافِعًا، وَرِزْقًا طَيِّبًا، وَعَمَلاً مُتَقَبَّلاً

Allahumma inni as’aluka ‘ilman nafi’an, wa rizqan tayyiban, wa amalan mutaqabalan.

O Allah, indeed, I ask You for beneficial knowledge, and a good halal provision, and actions which are accepted. (Nasa’i and Ibn Majah)

 ‏ ‏رَبِّ أَعِنِّي وَلاَ تُعِنْ عَلَىَّ، وَانْصُرْنِي وَلاَ تَنْصُرْ عَلَىَّ، وَامْكُرْ لِي وَلاَ تَمْكُرْ عَلَىَّ، وَاهْدِنِي وَيَسِّرِ الْهُدَى إلِيّ، وَانْصُرْنِي عَلَى مَنْ بَغَى عَلَىَّ، رَبِّ اجْعَلْنِي لَكَ شَكَّارًا، لَكَ ذَكَّارًا، لَكَ رَهَّابًا، لَكَ مِطْوَاعًا، لَكَ مُخْبِتًا، إِلَيْكَ أَوَّاهًا مُنِيبًا، رَبِّ تَقَبَّلْ تَوْبَتِي، وَاغْسِلْ حَوْبَتِي، وَأَجِبْ دَعْوَتِي، وَثَبِّتْ حُجَّتِي، وَسَدِّدْ لِسَانِي، وَاهْدِ قَلْبِي، وَاسْلُلْ سَخِيمَةَ صَدْرِي

Rabbi a’inni wa la tu’in ‘alayya, wa-ansurni wa la tansur ‘alayya, wa-mkur li wa la tamkur ‘alayya, wa-hdini wa yassir hudaaya ilayya, wa-ansurni ‘ala man bagha ‘alayya.

Rabbi taqabbal tawbati, waghsil hawbati, wa ajib da’wati, wa thabbit hujjati, wa saddid lisani, wa-hdi qalbi, wa-slul sakhimata sadri.

O my Lord, help me and do not assist others against me; aid me and do not aid others against me; plot for me and do not plot against me; guide me and make the path to guidance easy for me; and help me against those who harm and oppress me. O my Lord, make me abundantly grateful to You, abundantly remembering You, cautiously fearing You, obedient to You, humble before You, and a sincere supplicant returning to You. Accept my repentance and wash away my sins; accept my supplication and establish my proof. Guide my heart, make my tongue righteous, and remove vile traits from my heart. (Abu Dawud)

اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ الثَّبَاتَ فِي الْأَمْرِ، وَالْعَزِيمَةَ عَلَى الرُّشْدِ، وَأَسْأَلُكَ شُكْرَ نِعْمَتِكَ، وَحُسْنَ عِبَادَتِكَ، وَأَسْأَلُكَ قَلْبًا سَلِيمًا، وَلِسَانًا صَادِقًا، وَأَسْأَلُكَ مِنْ خَيْرِ مَا تَعْلَمُ، وَأَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ شَرِّ مَا تَعْلَمُ، وَأَسْتَغْفِرُكَ لِمَا تَعْلَمُ وَأَنْتَ عَلَّامُ الْغُيُوبِ

Allahumma inni asaluka ath-thabata fil amri, wal azimata ala ar-rushdi, wa asaluka shukra ni’matika, wa husna ibadatika, wa asaluka qalban saliman, wa lisanan sadiqan, wa asaluka min khayri ma ta’lam, wa a’udhu bika min sharri ma ta’lam, wa astaghfiruka lima ta’lam wa anta ‘allamul ghuyub.

O Allah, I ask you to grant me constancy in obedience and the determination to attain right guidance, and I ask You to enable me to be grateful for Your favours, and to worship You in the best manner. And I ask You for a sound heart, and a truthful tongue, and I ask of You the best of what You know. And I seek refuge in You from the evil that You know of, and I ask Your forgiveness for every wrong I have done, since nothing escapes Your knowledge, and You are the All Knowing of the Unseen. (Ibn Hibban)

‏اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ مَوْجِبَاتِ رَحْمَتِكَ، وَعَزَائِمَ مَغْفِرَتِكَ، وَالسَّلاَمَةَ مِنْ كُلِّ إِثْمٍ، وَالْغَنِيمَةَ مِنْ كُلِّ بِرٍّ، وَالْفَوْزَ بِالْجَنَّةِ، وَالنَّجَاةَ مِنَ النَّارِ

Allahumma inni as’aluka mujibati rahmatika, wa ‘aza’ima maghfiratika, was-salamata min kulli ithmin, wal-ghanimata min kulli birrin, wal-fawza bil- jannati, wannajata mina-nar.

O Allah, I beg You for words and actions which bring Your mercy and ensure Your forgiveness, safety from every sin, the benefit from every good deed, success in attaining Jannah and deliverance from the Fire. (Tirmidhi, ibn Majah and al-Hakim)

اللَّهُمَّ ابْسُطْ عَلَيْنَا مِنْ بَرَكَاتِكَ وَرَحْمَتِكَ وَفَضْلِكَ وَرِزْقِكَ، اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ النَّعِيمَ الْمُقِيمَ الَّذِي لَا يَحُولُ وَلَا يَزُولُ، اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ النَّعِيمَ يَوْمَ الْعَيْلَةِ، وَالْأَمْنَ يَوْمَ الْخَوْفِ، اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي عَائِذٌ بِكَ مِنْ شَرِّ مَا أَعْطَيْتَنَا، وَشَرِّ مَا مَنَعْتَ، اللَّهُمَّ حَبِّبْ إِلَيْنَا الْإِيمَانَ وَزَيِّنْهُ فِي قُلُوبِنَا، وَكَرِّهْ إِلَيْنَا الْكُفْرَ وَالْفُسُوقَ وَالْعِصْيَانَ، وَاجْعَلْنَا مِنَ الرَّاشِدِينَ، اللَّهُمَّ تَوَفَّنَا مُسْلِمِينَ، وَأَحْيِنَا مُسْلِمِينَ، وَأَلْحِقْنَا بِالصَّالِحِينَ غَيْرَ خَزَايَا وَلَا مَفْتُونِينَ

Allahumma-bsut ‘alaynaa mim barakaatika warahmatika wafadlika wa rizqika. Allahumma innee as’alukan-na‘eemal-muqeem alladhee laa yahoolu walaa yazool. Allahumma innee as’alukan-na‘eema yawmal-‘aylati wal-amna yawmal-khawf. Allahumma innee ‘aa’idhun bika min sharri maa a‘taytanaa washarri maa mana‘ta. Allahumma habbib ilaynal-eemaana wazayyinhu fee quloobinaa, wakarrih ilaynal-kufra wal-fusooqa wal-‘isyaana wa-j‘alnaa minar-raashideen. Allahumma tawaffanaa muslimeena wa ahyinaa muslimeena wa alhiqnaa bis-saliheena ghayra khazaayaa walaa maftooneen.

O Allah, spread amongst us Your blessings, Your mercy, Your grace and Your provision. O Allah, I ask You for the everlasting bliss that never vanishes or disappears. O Allah, I ask You to complete bliss for me when I need it the most, in poverty, and I ask You for safety on the Day of Fear. O Allah, I seek refuge in You from the evil of what You have given us, and the evil of what You have protected us from. O Allah, make imaan beloved to us and beautify it in our hearts, and make disbelief, mischief, and rebellion hateful to us, and make us among the rightly guided. O Allah, let us die as Muslims and let us live as Muslims, and gather us among the righteous, without disgrace or deviation. (Musnad Ahmad)

اللَّهُمَّ عَلَى الخَيْرِ أَلِّفْ قُلُوبَنَا، وَأَصْلِحْ ذَاتَ بَيْنِنَا، وَاهْدِنَا سُبُلَ السَّلَامِ، وَنَجِّنَا مِنَ الظُّلُمَاتِ إِلَى النُّورِ، وَجَنِّبْنَا الفَوَاحِشَ وَالفِتَنَ، مَا ظَهَرَ مِنْهَا وَمَا بَطَنَ، وَبَارِكْ لَنَا فِي أَسْمَاعِنَا، وَأَبْصَارِنَا، وَقُلُوبِنَا، وَأَزْوَاجِنَا، وَذُرِّيَّاتِنَا، وَتُبْ عَلَيْنَا، إِنَّكَ أَنْتَ التَّوَّابُ الرَّحِيمُ، وَاجْعَلْنَا شَاكِرِينَ لِنِعْمَتِكَ، مُثْنِينَ بِهَا عَلَيْكَ، قَابِلِيهَا، وَأَتِمَّهَا عَلَيْنَا

Allahumma ‘ala al-khayr allif qulubana, wa aslih dhata baynina, wa-hdina subula-s-salam, wa najjina mina-zh-zulumati ila-n-nur, wa jannibna al-fawahisha wa-l-fitan, ma zahara minha wa ma batan, wa barik lana fi asma’ina, wa absarina, wa qulubina, wa azwajina, wa dhurriyyatina, wa tub ‘alayna, innaka anta at-tawwabu-r-rahim. Wa-j’alna shakireena li-ni’matik, muthnina biha ‘alayk, qabilina, wa atimmha ‘alayna.

O Allah, bring our hearts together in goodness, reconcile any differences among us, guide us to the paths of peace, deliver us from darkness to light, protect us from indecency and trials—both those that are visible and those that are hidden. Bless for us our hearing, our sight, our hearts, our spouses, and our offspring. Accept our repentance, for You are the Most Forgiving, Most Merciful. Make us grateful for Your blessings, praising You for them, accepting them, and perfect them for us. (Abu Dawoud and al-Hakim)

اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ حُبَّكَ، وَحُبَّ مَنْ يُحِبُّكَ، وَالْعَمَلَ الَّذِي يُبَلِّغُنِي حُبكَ، اللَّهُمَّ اجْعَلْ حُبَّكَ أَحَبَّ إِلَيَّ مِنْ نَفْسِي وَأَهْلِي وَمِنَ الْمَاءِ الْبَارِدِ

‏Allahumma innee as’aluka hubbaka wahubba man yuhibbuka wal-‘amala-lladhee yuballighunee hubbaka. Allahumma-j‘al hubbaka ahabbu ilayya min nafsee wa ahlee waminal-maa’i-lbaarid

O Allah, indeed, I ask You for Your love and the love of those who love You, and for actions that will cause me to attain Your love. O Allah, make Your love more beloved to me than myself, my family and cold water. (Tirmidhi)

 ‏ اللَّهُمَّ ارْزُقْنِي حُبَّكَ وَحُبَّ مَنْ يَنْفَعُنِي حُبُّهُ عِنْدَكَ، اللَّهُمَّ مَا رَزَقْتَنِي مِمَّا أُحِبُّ فَاجْعَلْهُ قُوَّةً لِي فِيمَا تُحِبُّ، اللَّهُمَّ وَمَا زَوَيْتَ عَنِّي مِمَّا أُحِبُّ فَاجْعَلْهُ لِي فَرَاغًا فِيمَا تُحِبُّ

 Allahummarzuqni hubbaka, wa hubba man yanfa’uni hubbuhu ‘indak. Allahumma ma razaqtani mimma uhibbu faj’alhu quwwatan li fima tuhibb. Allahumma wa ma zawayta ‘anni mimma uhibbu faj’alhu li faraghan fima tuhibb.

O Allah, grant me Your love and the love of those whose love will make me closer to You. O Allah, whatever You have provided me of what I love, let it give me strength to do what You love. And whatever You have withheld from me of what I love, make it a means for me to turn towards what You love. (Tirmidhi)

اللَّهُمَّ اجْعَلْ لِي فِي قَلْبِي نُورًا، وَفِي لِسَانِي نُورًا، وَفِي سَمْعِي نُورًا، وَفِي بَصَرِي نُورًا، وَمِنْ فَوْقِي نُورًا، وَمِنْ تَحْتِي نُورًا، وَعَنْ يَمِينِي نُورًا، وَعَنْ شِمَالِي نُورًا، وَمِنْ بَيْنِ يَدَىَّ نُورًا، وَمِنْ خَلْفِي نُورًا، وَاجْعَلْ فِي نَفْسِي نُورًا، وَأَعْظِمْ لِي نُورًا

‏‏‏Allahumma jal li fi qalbi nuran, wa fi lisani nuran, wa fi sam‘i nuran, wa fi basari nuran, wa min fawqi nuran, wa min tahti nuran, wa an yamini nuran, wa an shimali nuran, wa min bayni yadayya nuran, wa min khalfi nuran, wa jal fi nafsi nuran, wa a’zim li nuran.

O Allah, place light in my heart, and on my tongue light, and in my ears light and in my sight light, and above me light, and below me light, and to my right light, and to my left light, and before me light and behind me light. Place light in my soul and amplify for me light. (Muslim)

اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ شَرِّ سَمْعِي، وَمِنْ شَرِّ بَصَرِي، وَمِنْ شَرِّ لِسَانِي، وَمِنْ شَرِّ قَلْبِي، وَمِنْ شَرِّ مَنِيِّي

Allahumma inni a’udhu bika min sharri sam’i, wa min sharri basari, wa min sharri lisani, wa min sharri qalbi, wa min sharri maniyyi.

O Allah! I seek refuge in You from the evil of my hearing, the evil of my seeing, the evil of my tongue, the evil of my heart and evil arising from my sexual passion. (Abu Dawud and Tirmidhi)

‏اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنَ الْعَجْزِ وَالْكَسَلِ، وَالْجُبْنِ وَالْبُخْلِ، وَالْهَرَمِ وَعَذَابِ الْقَبْرِ

اللَّهُمَّ آتِ نَفْسِي تَقْوَاهَا، وَزَكِّهَا أَنتَ خَيْرُ مَن زَكَّاهَا، أَنتَ وَلِيُّهَا وَمَوْلَاهَا، اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ عِلْمٍ لَا يَنفَعُ، وَمِنْ قَلْبٍ لَا يَخْشَعُ، وَمِنْ نَفْسٍ لَا تَشْبَعُ، وَمِنْ دَعْوَةٍ لَا يُسْتَجَابُ لَهَا

Allahumma inni ‘a’udhu bika minal-‘ajzi wal-kasal, waljubni wal-bukhli wal-harami, wa ‘adhabil-qabri. Allahumma aati nafsi taqwaha, wa zakkiha Anta khairu man zakkaha, Anta waliyyuha wa maulaha. Allahumma inni ‘a’udhu bika min ‘ilmin la yanfa’ wa min qalbin la yakhsha’, wa min nafsin la tashba’, wa min da’watin la yustajabu laha

O Allah, I seek refuge in You from the inability (to do good), laziness, cowardice, miserliness, senility and the torment of the grave. O Allah, inspire in me piety (taqwa), and purify my soul, as You are the best to purify it. You are its Guardian and its Protecting Friend. O Allah, I seek refuge in You from knowledge that is not beneficial, and from a heart that does not fear (You), and from desire that is not satisfied, and from prayer that is not answered. (Muslim)

اللَّهُمَّ إِنَّا نَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ عَذَابِ جَهَنَّمَ، وَأَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ عَذَابِ الْقَبْرِ، وَأَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ فِتْنَةِ الْمَسِيحِ الدَّجَّالِ، وَأَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ فِتْنَةِ الْمَحْيَا وَالْمَمَاتِ

Allahumma, inna na’uwdhu bika min ‘adhabi jahannama, wa ‘a’udhu bika min ‘adhabil-qabri, wa a’udhu bika min fitnatil-masihid-dajjali, wa a’udhu bika min fitnatil-mahya wal-mamat

O Allah, we seek refuge in You from the torment of Hell, and I seek refuge in You from the torment of the grave, and I seek refuge in You from the tribulation of Al-Masihid-Dajjal, the false messiah, and I seek refuge in You from the trials of life and death. (Muslim)

اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِن زَوَالِ نِعْمَتِكَ، وَتَحَوُّلِ عَافِيَتِكَ، وَفُجَاءَةِ نِقْمَتِكَ، وَجَمِيعِ سَخَطِكَ

Allahumma inni ‘a’udhu bika min zawali ni’matika, wa tahawwuli ‘afiyatika, wa fuja’ati niqmatika, wa jami’i sakhatika

O Allah, I seek refuge in You against the declining of Your favours, loss of well-being, the suddenness of Your punishment and all that which displeases You. (Muslim)

مَا أَصَابَ أَحَدًا قَطُّ هَمٌّ وَلَا حَزَنٌ، فَقَالَ: اللهمَّ إِنِّي عَبْدُكَ، وَابْنُ عَبْدِكَ، وَابْنُ أَمَتِكَ، نَاصِيَتِي بِيَدِكَ، مَاضٍ فِيَّ حُكْمُكَ، عَدْلٌ فِيَّ قَضَاؤُكَ، أَسْأَلُكَ بِكُلِّ اسْمٍ هُوَ لَكَ سَمَّيْتَ بِهِ نَفْسَكَ، أَوْ عَلَّمْتَهُ أَحَدًا مِنْ خَلْقِكَ، أَوْ أَنْزَلْتَهُ فِي كِتَابِكَ، أَوِ اسْتَأْثَرْتَ بِهِ فِي عِلْمِ الْغَيْبِ عِنْدَكَ، أَنْ تَجْعَلَ الْقُرْآنَ رَبِيعَ قَلْبِي، وَنُورَ صَدْرِي، وَجَلَاءَ حُزْنِي، وَذَهَابَ هَمِّي، إِلَّا أَذْهَبَ اللَّهُ هَمَّهُ وَحُزْنَهُ، وَأَبْدَلَهُ مَكَانَهُ فَرَجًا.” قَالَ: فَقِيلَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَلَا نَتَعَلَّمُهَا؟ فَقَالَ: بَلَى، يَنْبَغِي لِمَنْ سَمِعَهَا أَنْ يَتَعَلَّمَهَا

Ma asaba ahadan qat hammun wa la huznun, faqala: Allahumma inni ‘abduka, wabnu ‘abdika, wabnu amatika, nasiyati biyadika, madin fiyya hukmuka, ‘adlun fiyya qada’uka. As’aluka bikulli ismin huwa laka sammayta bihi nafsaka, aw ‘allamtahu ahadan min khalqika, aw anzaltahu fi kitabika, aw ista’tharta bihi fi ‘ilmi al-ghaybi ‘indaka, an taj’ala al-Qur’ana rabi’a qalbi, wa nura sadri, wa jalaa huzni, wa dhahaba hammi. Illa adh-haba Allahu hammahu wa huznahu wa abdalahu makanahu farajan. Qila: Ya Rasul Allah, ala nata’allamuha? Faqala: Bala, yanbaghi liman sami’aha an yata’allamaha.

No one is ever afflicted by anxiety or sorrow, and then says: ‘O Allah, I am Your servant, the child of Your servant, the child of Your maidservant. My forelock is in Your hand; Your command over me prevails; Your decree over me is just. I ask You by every name that belongs to You, by which You have named Yourself, taught any of Your creation, revealed in Your Book, or kept in the knowledge of the Unseen with You, to make the Quran the spring of my heart, the light of my chest, the dispeller of my grief, and the remover of my anxiety’—except that Allah will relieve him of his distress and replace his sorrow with joy.

‏اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ مِنَ الْخَيْرِ كُلِّهِ، عَاجِلِهِ وَآجِلِهِ، مَا عَلِمْتُ مِنْهُ وَمَا لَمْ أَعْلَمْ، وَأَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنَ الشَّرِّ كُلِّهِ، عَاجِلِهِ وَآجِلِهِ، مَا عَلِمْتُ مِنْهُ وَمَا لَمْ أَعْلَمْ ، اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ مِنْ خَيْرِ مَا سَأَلَكَ عَبْدُكَ وَنَبِيُّكَ، وَأَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ شَرِّ مَا عَاذَ بِهِ عَبْدُكَ وَنَبِيُّكَ، اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ الْجَنَّةَ وَمَا قَرَّبَ إِلَيْهَا مِنْ قَوْلٍ أَوْ عَمَلٍ، وَأَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنَ النَّارِ وَمَا قَرَّبَ إِلَيْهَا مِنْ قَوْلٍ أَوْ عَمَلٍ، وَأَسْأَلُكَ أَنْ تَجْعَلَ كُلَّ قَضَاءٍ قَضَيْتَهُ لِي خَيْرًا

‏Allahumma inni as’aluka min al-khayri kullihi, ‘ajilihi wa ajilihi, ma ‘alimtu minhu wa ma lam a’lam, wa a’udhu bika min ash-sharri kullihi, ‘ajilihi wa ajilihi, ma ‘alimtu minhu wa ma lam a’lam. Allahumma inni as’aluka min khayri ma sa’alaka ‘abduka wa nabiyyuka, wa a’udhu bika min sharri ma ‘adha bihi ‘abduka wa nabiyyuka. Allahumma inni as’aluka al-jannata wa ma qarraba ilayha min qawlin aw ‘amal, wa a’udhu bika min an-nari wa ma qarraba ilayha min qawlin aw ‘amal, wa as’aluka an taj’al kulla qada’in qadaytahu li khayran.

O Allah, I ask You for all that is good, in this world and in the Hereafter, what I know and what I do not know. O Allah, I seek refuge with You from all evil, in this world and in the Hereafter, what I know and what I do not know.

O Allah, I ask You for the good that Your slave and prophet has asked You for, and I seek refuge with You from the evil from which Your slave and prophet sought refuge.

O Allah, I ask You for Paradise and for that which brings one closer to it, in word or deed, and I seek refuge in You from Hell and from that which brings one closer to it, in word or deed.

And I ask You to make every decree that You decree concerning me good. (Ibn Majah)

اللَّهُمَّ بِعِلْمِكَ الْغَيْبَ، وَقُدْرَتِكَ عَلَى الْخَلْقِ، أَحْيِنِي مَا عَلِمْتَ الْحَيَاةَ خَيْرًا لِي، وَتَوَفَّنِي إِذَا عَلِمْتَ الْوَفَاةَ خَيْرًا لِي، اللَّهُمَّ وَأَسْأَلُكَ خَشْيَتَكَ فِي الْغَيْبِ وَالشَّهَادَةِ، وَأَسْأَلُكَ كَلِمَةَ الْحَقِّ فِي الرِّضَا وَالْغَضَبِ، وَأَسْأَلُكَ الْقَصْدَ فِي الْفَقْرِ وَالْغِنَى، وَأَسْأَلُكَ نَعِيمًا لاَ يَنْفَدُ، وَأَسْأَلُكَ قُرَّةَ عَيْنٍ لاَ تَنْقَطِعُ، وَأَسْأَلُكَ الرِّضَاءَ بَعْدَ الْقَضَاءِ، وَأَسْأَلُكَ بَرْدَ الْعَيْشِ بَعْدَ الْمَوْتِ، وَأَسْأَلُكَ لَذَّةَ النَّظَرِ إِلَى وَجْهِكَ، وَالشَّوْقَ إِلَى لِقَائِكَ، فِي غَيْرِ ضَرَّاءَ مُضِرَّةٍ، وَلاَ فِتْنَةٍ مُضِلَّةٍ، اللَّهُمَّ زَيِّنَّا بِزِينَةِ الإِيمَانِ، وَاجْعَلْنَا هُدَاةً مُهْتَدِينَ.

Allahumma bi’ilmika al-ghayb, wa qudratika ‘ala al-khalq, ahyini ma ‘alimta al-hayata khayran li, wa tawaffani idha ‘alimta al-wafata khayran li, wa as’aluka khashyataka fil-ghayb wa ash-shahadah, wa as’aluka kalimata al-haqq i fil-rida wa al-ghadab, wa as’alukal qasda fil faqri wal ghina,wa as’aluka na’eeman la yanfad, wa as’aluka qurrata ‘aynin la tanqati’u, wa as’aluka ar-rida’a b’adal-qada’, wa as’aluka barda al-‘ayshi ba’da al-mawt, wa as’aluka ladhdhata an-nazari ila wajhika, wa ash-shawqa ila liqai-ka, fi ghayri darra’a mudirratin wa , wa la fitnatin mudhillah. Allahumma zayyinna bi-zinat al-iman, waj’alna hudatan muhtadin.

O Allah, by Your knowledge of the Unseen and Your power over creation, keep me alive so long as You know that living is good for me and cause me to die when You know that death is better for me.

O Allah, cause me to fear You in secret and in public. I ask You to make me true in speech in times of pleasure and of anger. I ask You to make me moderate in times of wealth and poverty. And I ask You for everlasting delight and joy that will never cease.

I ask You to make me pleased with that which You have decreed and for an easy life after death.

I ask You for the sweetness of looking upon Your face and a longing to meet You in a manner that does not entail a calamity that will bring about harm or a trial that will cause deviation.

O Allah, beautify us with the adornment of faith and make us among those who guide and are rightly guided. (Nasa’i)

‏اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ رَحْمَةً مِنْ عِنْدِكَ تَهْدِي بِهَا قَلْبِي، وَتَجْمَعُ بِهَا أَمْرِي، وَتَلُمُّ بِهَا شَعَثِي، وَتُصْلِحُ بِهَا غَائِبِي، وَتَرْفَعُ بِهَا شَاهِدِي، وَتُزَكِّي بِهَا عَمَلِي، وَتُلْهِمُنِي بِهَا رشدِي رُشدِي، وَتَرُدُّ بِهَا أُلْفَتِي، وَتَعْصِمُنِي بِهَا مِنْ كُلِّ سُوءٍ، اللَّهُمَّ أَعْطِنِي إِيمَانًا وَيَقِينًا لَيْسَ بَعْدَهُ كُفْرٌ، وَرَحْمَةً أَنَالُ بِهَا شَرَفَ كَرَامَتِكَ فِي الدُّنْيَا وَالآخِرَةِ، اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ الْفَوْزَ فِي الْعَطَاءِ،- وَيُرْوَى فِي الْقَضَاءِ-، وَنُزُلَ الشُّهَدَاءِ، وَعَيْشَ السُّعَدَاءِ، وَالنَّصْرَ عَلَى الأَعْدَاءِ، اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أُنْزِلُ بِكَ حَاجَتِي، وَإِنْ قَصُرَ رَأْيِي وَضَعُفَ عَمَلِي افْتَقَرْتُ إِلَى رَحْمَتِكَ، فَأَسْأَلُكَ يَا قَاضِيَ الأُمُورِ، وَيَا شَافِيَ الصُّدُورِ، كَمَا تُجِيرُ بَيْنَ الْبُحُورِ أَنْ تُجِيرَنِي مِنْ عَذَابِ السَّعِيرِ، وَمِنْ دَعْوَةِ الثُّبُور، وَمِنْ فِتْنَةِ الْقُبُورِ، اللَّهُمَّ مَا قَصرَ قَصُرَ عَنْهُ رَأْيِي، وَلَمْ تَبْلُغْهُ نِيَّتِي، وَلَمْ تَبْلُغْهُ مَسْأَلَتِي مِنْ خَيْرٍ وَعَدْتَهُ أَحَدًا مِنْ خَلْقِكَ، أَوْ خَيْرٍ أَنْتَ مُعْطِيهِ أَحَدًا مِنْ عِبَادِكَ، فَإِنِّي أَرْغَبُ إِلَيْكَ فِيهِ، وَأَسْأَلُكَهُ بِرَحْمَتِكَ رَبَّ الْعَالَمِينَ، اللَّهُمَّ ذَا الْحَبْلِ الشَّدِيدِ، وَالأَمْرِ الرَّشِيدِ، أَسْأَلُكَ الأَمْنَ يَوْمَ الْوَعِيدِ، وَالْجَنَّةَ يَوْمَ الْخُلُودِ، مَعَ الْمُقَرَّبِينَ الشُّهُودِ، الرُّكَّعِ السُّجُودِ، الْمُوفِينَ بِالْعُهُودِ، إِنَّكَ رَحِيمٌ وَدُودٌ، وَأَنْتَ تَفْعَلُ مَا تُرِيدُ، اللَّهُمَّ اجْعَلْنَا هَادِينَ مُهْتَدِينَ، غَيْرَ ضَالِّينَ وَلاَ مُضِلِّينَ، سِلْمًا لأَوْلِيَائِكَ، وَعَدُوًّا لأَعْدَائِكَ، نُحِبُّ بِحُبِّكَ مَنْ أَحَبَّكَ، وَنُعَادِي بِعَدَاوَتِكَ مَنْ خَالَفَكَ، اللَّهُمَّ هَذَا الدُّعَاءُ وَعَلَيْكَ الاِسْتِجَابَةُ، وَهَذَا الْجَهْدُ وَعَلَيْكَ التُّكْلاَنُ، اللَّهُمَّ اجْعَلْ لِي نُورًا فِي قَبْرِي، وَنُورًا فِي قَلْبِي، وَنُورًا مِنْ بَيْنِ يَدَيَّ، وَنُورًا مِنْ خَلْفِي، وَنُورًا عَنْ يَمِينِي، وَنُورًا عَنْ شِمَالِي، وَنُورًا مِنْ فَوْقِي، وَنُورًا مِنْ تَحْتِي، وَنُورًا فِي سَمْعِي، وَنُورًا فِي بَصَرِي، وَنُورًا فِي شَعْرِي، وَنُورًا فِي بَشَرِي، وَنُورًا فِي لَحْمِي، وَنُورًا فِي دَمِي، وَنُورًا فِي عِظَامِي، اللَّهُمَّ أَعْظِمْ لِي نُورًا، وَأَعْطِنِي نُورًا ، وَاجْعَلْ لِي نُورًا، سُبْحَانَ الَّذِي تَعَطَّفَ الْعِزَّ وَقَالَ بِهِ، سُبْحَانَ الَّذِي لَبِسَ الْمَجْدَ وَتَكَرَّمَ بِهِ، سُبْحَانَ الَّذِي لاَ يَنْبَغِي التَّسْبِيحُ إِلاَّ لَهُ، سُبْحَانَ ذِي الْفَضْلِ وَالنِّعَمِ، سُبْحَانَ ذِي الْمَجْدِ وَالْكَرَمِ ، سُبْحَانَ ذِي الْجَلاَلِ وَالإِكْرَامِ ‏‏

O Allah, I ask You for a mercy from You, by which You guide my heart, by which you unite my affairs, by which you mend my scattered matters, by which you reform my inner state, by which you elevate my outward state, by which you purify my actions, by which you inspire me towards sound judgement, by which you restore my comfort, and by which you protect me from every harm.

O Allah, grant me faith and certainty that will prevent disbelief afterwards, and a mercy through which You grant me dignity by Your honour in this world and the Hereafter.

O Allah, I ask You for success in what you bestow, or what is decreed, the rank of the martyrs, the life of the blessed, and victory over enemies.

O Allah, I place my needs before You. Even if my opinion falls short and my deeds are weak, I need Your mercy. So, I ask You, O Determiner of Affairs and Healer of Hearts, just as You separate the seas, protect me from the punishment of the blazing fire, from the call of destruction, and from the trials of the grave.

O Allah, whatever my mind has not thought of, whatever I have not intended or asked for that is good, and You have promised to any of Your creation, or any good You are granting to any of Your servants, I desire it from You and ask for it by Your mercy, O Lord of the Worlds.

O Allah, Possessor of the Strong Rope (i.e the religion of Allah), and the guided affair, I ask You for safety on the Day of Judgement, and for Paradise on the Day of Eternity, along with the those brought close to You, witnesses, those who bow and prostrate, those who fulfil their covenants, You are Merciful, Loving, and indeed, You do what You wish.

O Allah, make us guided guiders, not misguided misguiders, at peace with Your allies, and enemies to Your enemies. We love with Your love those who love You, and we oppose with Your enmity those who oppose You.

O Allah, this is the supplication (that we are capable of), and it is upon You to respond, and this is the effort (that we are capable of), and upon You we rely.

O Allah, grant me light in my grave, light in my heart, light in front of me, light behind me, light on my right, light on my left, light above me, light beneath me, light in my hearing, light in my sight, light in my hair, light in my skin, light in my flesh, light in my blood, light in my bones.

O Allah, make for me an immense light, and grant me light, and make for me light.

Glory be to the One who is clothed in might and speaks of it. Glory be to the One who wears majesty and shows generosity by it. Glory be to the One for Whom no one else is deserving of glorification but Him. Glory be to the One full of grace and blessings. Glory be to the One of majesty and nobility. Glory be to the Possessor of Supreme Dignity and Honour. (Tirmidhi)

Dua Istikhara (when making a decision)

Ideally, recite this after performing two rakahs of salah.

اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْتَخِيرُكَ بِعِلْمِكَ وَأَسْتَقْدِرُكَ بِقُدْرَتِكَ وَأَسْأَلُكَ مِنْ فَضْلِكَ الْعَظِيمِ فَإِنَّكَ تَقْدِرُ وَلَا أَقْدِرُ وَتَعْلَمُ وَلَا أَعْلَمُ وَأَنْتَ عَلَّامُ الْغُيُوبِ اللَّهُمَّ إِنْ كُنْتَ تَعْلَمُ أَنَّ هَذَا الْأَمْرَ خَيْرٌ لِي فِي دِينِي وَمَعَاشِي وَعَاقِبَةِ أَمْرِي فَاقْدُرْهُ لِي وَيَسِّرْهُ لِي ثُمَّ بَارِكْ لِي فِيهِ وَإِنْ كُنْتَ تَعْلَمُ أَنَّ هَذَا الْأَمْرَ شَرٌّ لِي فِي دِينِي وَمَعَاشِي وَعَاقِبَةِ أَمْرِي فَاصْرِفْهُ عَنِّي وَاصْرِفْنِي عَنْهُ وَاقْدُرْ لِي الْخَيْرَ حَيْثُ كَانَ ثُمَّ أَرْضِنِي به

Allahumma inni astakhiruka bi ilmika wa astaqdiruka biqudratika wa as’aluka min fadlikal-azimi, fa innaka taqdiru wala aqdiru wa ta’lamu wala a’lamu wa anta allamul ghuyubi. Allahumma in kunta ta’lamu anna hadhal amra khayrun li fi dini wa ma-ashi wa aqibati amri faqdir-hu li wa yassir-hu li thumma barik li fihi wa in kunta ta’lamu anna hadhal amra sharrun li fi dini wa maashi wa aqibati amri fasrifhu anni wasrifni anhu waqdir liyal-khayra haythu kana thumma ardini bih.

O Allah, verily I seek the better (of either choice) from You, by Your knowledge, and I seek ability from You, by Your power, and I ask You from Your immense bounty. For indeed You have power, and I am powerless; You have knowledge, and I know not; You are the Knower of the unseen realms. O Allah, if You know that this matter (state your matter here) is good for me with regard to my religion, my livelihood and the end of my affair then decree it for me, facilitate it for me, and grant me blessing in it. And if You know that this matter (state your matter here) is not good for me with regard to my religion, my livelihood and the end of my affair then turn it away from me and me from it; and decree for me better than it, wherever it may be, and make me content with it. (Bukhari)

Duas for forgiveness

اللَّهُمَّ أَنْتَ رَبِّي لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ, خَلَقْتَنِي, وَأَنَا عَبْدُكَ, وَأَنَا عَلَى عَهْدِكَ وَوَعْدِكَ مَا اِسْتَطَعْتُ, أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ شَرِّ مَا صَنَعْتُ, أَبُوءُ لَكَ بِنِعْمَتِكَ عَلَيَّ, وَأَبُوءُ لَكَ بِذَنْبِي, فَاغْفِرْ لِي; فَإِنَّهُ لَا يَغْفِرُ اَلذُّنُوبَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ ‏

Allahumma Anta Rabbi, la ilaha illa Anta, khalaqtani wa ana ‘abduka, wa ana ‘ala ‘ahdika wa wa’dika mastata’tu, a’udhu bika min sharri ma sana’tu, abu’u laka bini’matika ‘alayya, wa abu’u bidhanbi faghfir li, fa innahu la yaghfirudh-dhunuba illa Anta.

 O Allah, You are my Rabb. There is no true god except You. You have created me, and I am Your servant, and I hold to Your Covenant as far as I can. I seek refuge in You from the evil of what I have done. I acknowledge the favours that You have bestowed upon me, and I confess my sins. Pardon me, for none but You has the power to pardon). (Bukhari)

اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي ظَلَمْتُ نَفْسِي ظُلْمًا كَثِيرًا وَلاَ يَغْفِرُ الذُّنُوبَ إِلاَّ أَنْتَ، فَاغْفِرْ لِي مَغْفِرَةً مِنْ عِنْدِكَ، وَارْحَمْنِي إِنَّكَ أَنْتَ الْغَفُورُ الرَّحِيمُ

Allahumma inni zalamtu nafsi zulman kathiran, wa la yaghfirudh- dhunuba illa Anta, faghfir li maghfiratan min ‘indika, warhamni, innaka Antal-Ghafur-ur-Rahim

O Allah, I have considerably wronged myself. There is none to forgive sins but You. So, grant me pardon and have mercy on me. You are the Most Forgiving, the Most Compassionate). (Bukhari and Muslim)

اللَّهُمَّ اغْفِرْ لي خَطِيئَتي، وَجَهْلي، وَإسْرَافِي في أمْرِي، ومَا أنْتَ أعْلَمُ بِهِ مِنِّي، اللَّهُمَّ اغْفِرْ لي جَدّي، وَهَزْلي، وَخَطَئي، وَعَمْدي، وَكُلُّ ذلكَ عِنْدِي، اللَّهُمَّ اغْفِرْ لي ما قَدَّمْتُ، وَمَا أخَّرْتُ، وَمَا أسْرَرْتُ، وَما أعْلَنْتُ وَمَا أنْتَ أعْلَمُ بِهِ مِنِّي، أنْتَ المُقَدِّمُ، وأنْتَ المُؤَخِّرُ، وأنْتَ على كل شئ قَدِير

Allahumma aghfir li khati’ati, wa jahli, wa israfi fi amri, wa ma anta a’lamu bihi minni. Allahumma aghfir li jiddi, wa hazli, wa khata’i, wa ‘amdi, wa kullu dhalika ‘indi. Allahumma aghfir li ma qaddamtu, wa ma akhkhartu, wa ma asrartu, wa ma a’lamtu, wa ma anta a’lamu bihi minni. Anta al-muqaddimu, wa anta al-mu’akhkhiru, wa anta ‘ala kulli shay’in qadeer.

O Allah, forgive my sins, my ignorance, my excesses in my affairs, and what You know better about me than I do. O Allah, forgive my seriousness and my joking, my mistakes and my intentional sins, and all of that is before me. O Allah, forgive what I have done in the past and what I will do in the future, what I have concealed and what I have revealed, and what You know better about me than I do. You are the One who brings forward and the One who delays, and You have power over all things. (Bukhari and Muslim)

Dua Qunut (read in witr prayer and during calamities)

اللَّهُمَّ إِنَّا نَسْتَعِينُكَ، وَنَسْتَغْفِرُكَ، وَنُؤْمِنُ بِكَ، وَنَتَوَكَّلُ عَلَيْكَ، وَنُثْنِي عَلَيْكَ وَلَا نَكْفُرُكَ، وَنَخْلَعُ وَنَتْرُكُ مَنْ يَكْفُرُكَ، اللَّهُمَّ إِيَّاكَ نَعْبُدُ، وَلَكَ نُصَلِّي وَنَسْجُدُ، وَإِلَيْكَ نَسْعَى وَنَحْفِدُ، نَرْجُو رَحْمَتَكَ، وَنَخْشَى عَذَابَكَ، إِنَّ عَذَابَكَ بِالْكُفَّارِ مُلْحَقٌ

Allahumma inna nasta’eenuka, wa nastaghfiruka, wa nu’minu bika, wa natawakkalu ‘alayk, wa nuthni ‘alayka wa laa nakfuruka, wa nakhla’u wa natruku man yakfuruka. Allahumma iyyaka na’bud, wa laka nusalli wa nasjud, wa ilayka nas’aa wa nahfid, narju rahmataka, wa nakhsha ‘adhabaka, inna ‘adhabaka bil-kuffari mulhaq.

O Allah, we seek Your help, we seek Your forgiveness, we believe in You, we rely on You, we praise You, and we do not deny You. We forsake and leave anyone who disobeys You. O Allah, You alone we worship, to You we pray and prostrate, and to You we strive and hasten. We hope for Your mercy, and we fear Your punishment. Indeed, Your punishment will overtake the disbelievers. (Abu Dawud and Bayhaqi)

اللَّهُمَّ اهْدِنِي فِيمَنْ هَدَيْتَ، وَعَافِنِي فِيمَنْ عَافَيْتَ، وَتَوَلَّنِي فِيمَنْ تَوَلَّيْتَ، وَبَارِكْ لِي فِيمَا أَعْطَيْتَ، وَقِنِي شَرَّ مَا قَضَيْتَ، فَإِنَّكَ تَقْضِي وَلَا يُقْضَى عَلَيْكَ، وَإِنَّهُ لَا يَذِلُّ مَنْ وَالَيْتَ، تَبَارَكْتَ رَبَّنَا وَتَعَالَيْتَ

Allahumma ihdini feeman hadait, wa ‘aafini feeman ‘afait, wa tawallani feeman tawallait, wa baarik li feema a’atait, wa qini sharra ma qadait, fa’innaka taqdee wa laa yuqdaa ‘alayk, wa innahu laa yadhillu man waalait, tabaarakta Rabbana wa ta’alait.

O Allah, guide me among those whom You have guided, grant me safety among those whom You have granted safety, take me into Your care among those whom You have taken into Your care, bless me in what You have given, and protect me from the evil You have decreed. Indeed, You decree, and none can decree over You. Indeed, he whom You befriend is not humiliated. Blessed are You, our Lord, and Exalted. (Abu Dawud and Tirmidhi)

اللَّهُمَّ اقْسمْ لَنا من خَشْيتكَ ما يَحُولُ بَيْنَنا وَبَيْنَ مَعَاصِيكَ، ومن طَاعتكَ ما تُبلِّغُنا بهِ جَنَّتكَ، ومن اليَقينِ ما تُهوِّنُ بهِ عَليْنا مُصِيباتِ الدُّنْيا، وَمَتِّعْنا بأسْماعِنا وَأبْصارِنا وَقوَّتِنا ما أحْيَيْتنا، وَاجْعلهُ الوَارثَ مِنَّا، وَاجْعلْ ثَأْرنا على من ظَلَمَنا، وَانْصُرْنا على من عَادَانا، وَلا تَجْعلْ مُصِيبتنا في دِيننا، ولا تَجْعلِ الدُّنْيا أكْبرَ هَمِّنا ولا مَبْلَغَ عِلْمنا، وَلا تُسلِّطْ عَليْنا من لا يَرْحَمُنا

Allahumma aqsim lana min khashyatika ma yahoolu baynana wa bayna ma’asiika, wa min taa’atika ma tuballighuna bihi jannataka, wa min al-yaqeeni ma tuhawwinu bihi ‘alayna musibati al-dunya. Wa matti’na bi asma’ina wa absarina wa quwwatina ma ahyaytana, wa aj’alhu al-waritha minna, wa aj’al tha’rana ‘ala man zhalamana, wa ansurna ‘ala man ‘adana, wa la taj’al musibatana fi deenina, wa la taj’al al-dunya akbara hammina wa la mablagha ‘ilmina, wa la tusallit ‘alayna man la yarhamuna.

O Allah, apportion to us such fear as should serve as a barrier between us and acts of disobedience; and such obedience as will take us to Your Jannah; and such certainty as will make it easy for us to bear the calamities of this world.

O Allah, let us enjoy our hearing, our sight and our strength as long as You keep us alive and make our offspring inherit sound faculties, and avenge us against those who oppress us, and support us against those who are hostile to us, and do not test us in our deen.

Let not worldly affairs be our principal concern, or the ultimate limit of our knowledge, and let not those rules over us who will not show mercy to us. (Tirmidhi)

Dua of Shaykh Haytham Tamim

إلهِي، لَقَد طَغَى الظُّلمُ وَالقَتلُ وَالتَّشْرِيدُ، وَاشْتَدَّتِ الظُّلماتُ، وَكثُرَ الطُّغَاةُ وَالموبِقَاتُ، وَازْدَادَتِ الفُرْقَةُ وَالخِلَافَاتُ

إلهِي، انقَطَعَ الرَّجَاءُ إِلَّا مِنْكَ، وَسُدَّتِ الطُّرُقُ إِلَّا إِلَيْكَ، أَنتَ الغَنِيُّ وَنَحْنُ الفُقَرَاءُ إِلَيْكَ، لَيْسَ لَنَا رَبٌّ سِوَاكَ نَدْعُوهُ، وَلَا إِلَٰهَ غَيْرُكَ نَرْجُوهُ، اَرْفَعْ عَنِ الأُمَّةِ الهَرْجَ وَالضَّيْمَ، وَالقَهْرَ وَالذُّلَّ، وَالظُّلْمَ وَالمَهَانَةَ الَّتِي نَحْنُ فِيهَا، اجْمَعْ قُلُوبَنَا عَلَيْكَ، وَوَحِّدْ صُفُوفَنَا، وَطَهِّرْهَا مِنَ المُنافِقِينَ وَالغَادِرِينَ وَالمُثَبِّطِينَ وَالخَائِنِينَ وَالمُخَذِّلينَ

إلهِي، لَا عُذْرَ لَنَا فَنَعْتَذِرُ، وَلَا حُجَّةَ لَنَا فَنَنتَصِرُ، وَلَكِنَّنَا جِئْنَاكَ مَسَاكِينَ مُتَذَلِّلِينَ، مُتَوَسِّلِينَ إِلَيْكَ لِرِضَاكَ، وَمُنْتَظِرِينَ لِفَرَجِكَ وَعَفْوِكَ وَمَغْفِرَتِكَ

نَسْأَلُكَ يَا غَفُورُ يَا رَحِيمُ بِحَقِّ قَوْلِكَ الكَرِيمِ: “سَبَقَتْ رَحْمَتِي غَضَبِي” أَنْ تَعُمَّنَا بِرَحْمَتِكَ، وَأَنْتَ الَّذِي بَدَأْتَ كِتَابَكَ الكَرِيمَ بِبِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ، وَقُلْتَ: (ثُمَّ تَابَ عَلَيْهِمْ لِيَتُوبُوا)، فَابْدَأْنَا اليَوْمَ بِالْمَغْفِرَةِ وَالتَّوْبَةِ يَا اللَّهُ، يَا قَابِلَ التَّوْبِ، وَيَا غَافِرَ الذَّنْبِ

إلهِي، إِنَّكَ قُلتَ وَقَوْلُكَ الحَقُّ: “أَنَا عِندَ ظَنِّ عَبْدِي بِي”، نُشْهِدُكَ أَنَّنَا لَا نَظُنُّ بِكَ إِلَّا خَيْرًا، بِأَنَّكَ سَتَرْحَمُنَا وَتَغْفِرُ لَنَا، يَا غَفُورُ يَا رَحِيمُ، وَتَتُوبُ عَلَيْنَا يَا تُوَابُ، وَتُوَسِّعُ أَرْزَاقَنَا يَا رَزَّاقُ، وَتَهْدِينَا وَأَبْنَاءَنَا وَأَهْلِينَا يَا هَادِي، وَتُثَبِّتَنَا عَلَى الْحَقِّ، وَتَكْتُبَنَا مِنْ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ، وَتُفَرِّجُ كُرُوبَ الأُمَّةِ، وَتَرْفَعُ عَنَّا الغُمَّةَ، وَتَنْصُرُ المُسْتَضْعَفِينَ وَالْمَظْلُومِينَ، وَتَنتَقِمُ مِنَ الظَّالِمِينَ المُعْتَدِينَ المُتَكَبِّرِينَ

إلهِي، إِنَّا نَتَوَسَّلُ إِلَيْكَ بِقَوْلِكَ: (وَإِنِّي لَغَفَّارٌ لِمَن تَابَ وَآمَنَ وَعَمِلَ صَالِحًا ثُمَّ اهْتَدَى)، يَا رَبُّ جِئْنَاكَ تَائِبِينَ فَلَا تَرُدَّنَا خَائِبِينَ، وَامْنَحْنَا هَذِهِ السَّاعَةَ التَّوْبَةَ وَالْمَغْفِرَةَ، وَالعَفْوَ وَالعَافِيَةَ، وَالرَّحْمَةَ وَالقَبُولَ يَا رَبِّ العَالَمِينَ

وَاجْعَلْنَا مِمَّنْ تُحِبُّهُمْ وَيُحِبُّونَكَ، مِنَ التَّوَابِينَ الأَوَّابِينَ الَّذِينَ لَا خَوْفٌ عَلَيْهِمْ وَلَا هُمْ يَحْزَنُونَ. وَاجْعَلْنَا مَفَاتِيحَ لِلْخَيْرِ مَغَالِيقَ لِلشَّرِّ، وَمِنَ الثَّابِتِينَ عَلَى الْحَقِّ، الدَّاعِينَ إِلَيْهِ، مُبَشِّرِينَ وَمُيَسِّرِينَ، حُكَمَاءَ وَرُحَمَاءَ

اللَّهُمَّ أَنتَ رَبُّنَا لَا إِلٰهَ إِلَّا أَنتَ خَلَقْتَنَا وَنَحْنُ عِبَادُكَ، وَنَحْنُ عَلَى عَهْدِكَ وَوَعْدِكَ مَا اسْتَطَعْنَا، نَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ شَرِّ مَا صَنَعْنَا، نَبُوءُ لَكَ بِنِعْمَتِكَ عَلَيْنَا، وَنَبُوءُ بِذُنُوبِنَا، فَاغْفِرْ لَنَا، فَإِنَّهُ لَا يَغْفِرُ الذُّنُوبَ إِلَّا أَنتَ

وَصَلَّى اللَّهُ وَسَلَّمَ وَبَارَكَ عَلَى خَيْرِ خَلْقِهِ سَيِّدِنَا مُحَمَّدٍ وَعَلَى آلِهِ وَأَصْحَابِهِ أَجْمَعِينَ

آمِينَ وَالحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ العَالَمِينَ

My Lord, injustice, killing, and displacement have overwhelmed us. The darkness has intensified, and the tyrants and sins have multiplied. Division and disagreements have increased.

My Lord, all hope is cut off except through You, and all paths are closed except to You. You are the Self-Sufficient, and we are the needy before You. We have no Lord but You to call upon, nor any deity to place our hope on but you. Lift from the Ummah the confusion, oppression, cruelty, humiliation, injustice, and degradation we are suffering. Unite our hearts in devotion to You, strengthen our ranks, and purify them from the hypocrites, the treacherous, the discouragers, and the betrayers.

My Lord, we have no excuse to offer, nor any justification to defend ourselves, but we have come to You as humble and submissive servants, pleading for Your satisfaction, awaiting Your relief, forgiveness, and pardon. We ask You, O Most Forgiving, O Most Merciful, by Your noble words: “My mercy precedes My anger,” to encompass us with Your mercy. You are the One who began Your glorious Book with “In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful,” and You said: “Then He turned to them that they might repent.” So begin with us today with forgiveness and repentance, O Allah, O Accepter of repentance, O Forgiver of sins.

My Lord, You said, and Your word is the truth: “I am as My servant thinks of Me.” We bear witness to You that we think of You only with goodness, that You will have mercy on us and forgive us, O Most Forgiving, O Most Merciful. We ask You to grant us repentance, O Oft-Relenting, expand our provisions, O Provider. Guide us and our children and our families, O Guide, and strengthen us in the truth. Write us among the people of Paradise, relieve the distress of the Ummah, remove the gloom from us, and grant victory to the oppressed and the wronged. Take revenge on the unjust, the aggressors, and the arrogant.

My Lord, we beseech You with Your words: “And I am indeed the Forgiver of those who repent, believe, and do righteous deeds, and then remain steadfast.” O Lord, we come to You as repentant; do not send us away disappointed. Grant us this hour repentance and forgiveness, pardon and well-being, mercy and acceptance, O Lord of the worlds.

Make us among those whom You love and who love You, the repentant and the returning, who have no fear and will not grieve. Make us keys to goodness and locks to evil, steadfast in the truth, calling to it, giving glad tidings, facilitating it, wise and merciful.

O Allah, You are our Lord, there is no deity but You. You created us and we are Your servants. We are bound by Your covenant and honour our promise to you as much as we are able. We seek refuge in You from the evil of what we have done. We acknowledge Your blessings upon us and confess our sins. So forgive us, for none forgives sins except You.

May Allah’s peace, blessings, and mercy be upon the best of His creation, our Master Muhammad, and upon his family and all his companions.

Ameen, and all praise is due to Allah, Lord of the worlds. (Shaykh Haytham Tamim)

Dua of Imam Ghazali

اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ مِنَ النِّعْمَةِ تَمَامَهَا، وَمِنَ الْعِصْمَةِ دَوَامَهَا، وَمِنَ الرَّحْمَةِ شُمُولَهَا، وَمِنَ الْعَافِيَةِ حُصُولَهَا، وَمِنَ الْعَيْشِ أَرْغَدَهُ، وَمِنَ الْعُمُرِ أَسْعَدَهُ، وَمِنَ الْإِحْسَانِ أَتمَّهُ، وَمِنَ الْإِنْعَامِ أَعَمَّهُ، وَمِنَ الْفَضْلِ أَعْذَبَهُ، وَمِنَ اللُّطْفِ أَنْفَعَهُ

اللَّهُمَّ كُنْ لَنَا وَلَا تَكُنْ عَلَيْنَا. اللَّهُمَّ اخْتِمْ بِالسَّعَادَةِ آجَالَنَا، وَحَقِّقْ بِالزِّيَادَةِ آمالَنَا، وَاقْرِنْ بِالْعَافِيَةِ غُدُوَّنَا وَآصَالَنَا، وَاجْعَلْ إِلَى رَحْمَتِكَ مَصِيرَنَا وَمَآلَنَا، وَاصْبُبْ سِجَالَ عَفْوِكَ عَلَى ذُنُوبِنَا، وَمُنَّ عَلَيْنَا بِإِصْلاحِ عُيُوبِنَا، وَاجْعَلِ التَّقْوَى زَادَنَا، وَفِي دِينِكَ اجْتِهَادَنَا، وَعَلَيْكَ تَوَكُّلَنَا وَاعْتِمَادَنَا، وَإِلَى رِضْوَانِكَ مَعَادَنَا

اللَّهُمَّ ثَبِّتْنَا عَلَى نَهْجِ الْاسْتِقَامَةِ، وَأَعِذْنَا فِي الدُّنْيَا مِنْ مَوْجِبَاتِ النَّدَامَةِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ

اللَّهُمَّ خَفِّفْ عَنَّا ثِقَلَ الْأَوْزَارِ، وَارْزُقْنَا عَيْشَةَ الْأَبْرَارِ، وَاكْفِنا وَاصْرِفْ عَنَّا شَرَّ الْأَشْرَارِ، وَأعْتِقْ رِقَابَنَا وَرِقَابَ آبَائِنَا وَأُمَّهَاتِنَا وَأَزْوَاجِنَا وَإِخْوَانِنَا مِنَ النَّارِ، يَا عَزِيزُ يَا غَفَّارُ، يَا كَرِيمُ يَا سَتَّارُ، يَا حَلِيمُ يَا جَبَّارُ، يَا اللَّهُ يَا اللَّهُ يَا اللَّهُ، بِرَحْمَتِكَ يَا أَرْحَمَ الرَّاحِمِينَ، 

وَيَا أَوَّلَ الْأَوَّلِينَ، وَيَا آخِرَ الْآخِرِينَ، وَيَا ذَا الْقُوَّةِ الْمَتِينِ، وَيَا رَاحِمَ الْمَسَاكِينِ، وَيَا أَرْحَمَ الرَّاحِمِينَ، لَا إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا أَنتَ سُبْحَانَكَ إِنِّي كُنتُ مِنَ الظَّالِمِينَ

وصلّى اللَّهُ عَلَى سَيِّدِنَا مُحَمَّدٍ وَآلِهِ وَصَحْبِهِ أَجْمَعِينَ، وَالحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ

O Allah, of Grace I ask You its perfection. And of protection its duration, and of mercy its completion, and of health its attainment, of livelihood, I ask its comfort and of life its happiness, and of virtue its completion, and of blessings its totality, and of graciousness its sweetness, and of benevolence the nearest.

O Allah, terminate with happiness our final end and fulfil for us our hopes beyond expectations. Join with well-being and good health our early mornings and dusky evenings and set Your mercy as our final end and outcome. Pour the abundance of Your Forgiveness upon our sins, and favour us with the removal of our faults. Give us piety as a provision and place our efforts in the strengthening of Your Religion. In You is our trust and upon You, our dependence.

O Allah, strengthen us on the road of sincerity and righteousness and protect us in this world from that which will be cause for regret on the Final Day. Lighten for us the burden of our sins and bestow upon us the blessings of those who live a life of righteousness and be sufficient for us and avert from us the evils of those who do evil. Free us and free our fathers and our mothers and our spouse and our teachers from the fire of Hell by the grace of Your mercy. O Most Mighty, Most Merciful, Most Generous; the Veiler (of faults), the Gentle One, the Potent.

O Allah, O Allah, O Allah.

O Merciful, O Merciful, O Merciful.

O Most Merciful of the Merciful.

The First of the First and the Last of the Last.

The Possessor of Unshakeable Power.

The Most Compassionate to the poor and the destitute.

O Most Merciful of the Merciful.

There is no God except You.

Glory be to You. ‘Indeed, I am amongst those who have done wrong.’ (21:87)

May the blessings of Allah be upon Muhammad, his family and all of his companions.

And praise belongs to Allah alone, Lord of the worlds. Ameen (Imam Ghazali)

اللَّهُمَّ عَلِّمْنَا مَا يَنْفَعُنَا، وَٱنْفَعْنَا بِمَا عَلَّمْتَنَا، وَزِدْنَا عِلْمًا وَعَمَلًا وَفِقْهًا فِي ٱلدِّينِ يَا رَبَّ ٱلْعَٰلَمِينَ

اللَّهُمَّ وَفِّقْنَا لِلْعَمَلِ بِمَا يُرْضِيكَ عَنَّا، وَإِلَىٰ غَيْرِكَ لَا تَكِلْنَا. ٱفْتَحْ أَقْفَالَ قُلُوبِنَا بِذِكْرِكَ، وَأَلْهِمْنَا شُكْرَكَ، وَٱجْعَلْنَا مِنْ أَهْلِ مَعْرِفَتِكَ، وَلَا تَجْعَلْنَا مِنَ ٱلْغَافِلِينَ، وتُبْ علينا توبة نصوحاً، وفرِّج عن أُمّة سيدنا محمد ﷺ فرجاً عاجلاً غيرَ آجلٍ يا رب العالمين

Allahumma allimna ma yanfa’una, w’anfa’na bima ‘allamtana, wa zidna ‘ilman wa ‘amalan wa fiqhan fi ad-din ya Rabb al-‘alamin. Allahumma waffiqna lil-‘amali bima yurdika ‘anna, wa ila ghayrika la takilna. Iftah aqfala qulubina bi-dhikrika, wa alhimna shukraka, wa aj’alna min ahli ma’rifatika, wa la taj’alna min al-ghafilin. Wa tub ‘alayna tawbatan nasuhā, wa farrij ‘an Ummati Sayyidina Muhammadin ﷺ  farajan ‘ājilan ghayra ājilin, yā Rabb al-‘ālamīn.

O Allah, teach us beneficial knowledge and benefit us from what we have learnt and increase us in knowledge, and in understanding our deen and enable us to act upon our knowledge. May He open the locks of our hearts by His remembrance, inspire us to be grateful to Him, make us among those who know Him. And not make us of those who are heedless of Him. And grant us a sincere repentance, and relieve the Ummah of our Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) with immediate relief, O Lord of the worlds. Ameen. (Shaykh Haytham Tamim)
