أَللَّهُمَّ ارْزُقْنَا إِيمَانًا دَٓاءِمًا وَيَقِينًا صَادِقًا وَقَلْبًا خَاشِعًا وَلِسَانًا ذَاكِرًا وَعَمَلاً مَقْبُولاً وَرِزْقًا وَاسِعًا وَعِلْمًا نَافِعًا وَدَرَجَةً رَفِيعَةً وَتَوْبَةً نَصُوحَةً قَبْلَ الْمَوْتِ وَرَاحَةً عِنْدَ الْمَوْتِ وَمَغْفِرَةً بَعْدَ الْمَوْتِ وَأَمْنًا مِنْ عَذَابِ الْقَبْرِ
Allahumma’arzuqna eemanan daaeman wa yaqeenan sadiqan wa qalban khashian wa lisanan dhakiran wa amalan maqbolan wa rizqan wasian wa ilman’n nafian’wa darajatan rafeyatan wa tawbatan nasuhatan qabl-al mawti wa rahatan ‘indal-mawti wa maghfiratan badal mawti wa amnan men aathabil qabr.
O Allah, give us steadiness in faith, certainty (yakeen) of the truth, a heart full of awe (not fear) a tongue that is engaged in constant dhikr, the ability to perform beneficial deeds, a comprehensive provision, knowledge that will be eternally beneficial to me, with the worthiness of high rank, the ability to make genuine repentance before dying, comfort at the point of death, repentance after death, and safety from the suffering of the grave.
This prayer and the previous one taught to us by the Rasul of Allah (saw) is relevant to all facets of life, their comprehensiveness and effectiveness are beyond our imagination.
The first prayer I provided outlines the most important things from which we should refrain and seek refuge in Allah, while the second one reveals the most urgent and important things we should request from Allah.
Please consider carefully the importance of these prayers and then if you agree on the importance of them, make it a habit to read these two prayers every morning and evening. Don’t forget you will only attain the results of what you do. There is no god in space to send you something. Allah has established a system and it is not subject to change.
أَللَّهُمَّ أَسْلَمْتُ نَفْسِى إِلَيْكَ وَوَجَّهْتُ وَجْهِى إِلَيْكَ وَفَوَّضْتُ أَمْرِى إِلَيْكَ وَأَلْجَأْتُ ظَهْرِى إِلَيْكَ رَغْبَةً وَرَهْبَةً إِلَيْكَ لَا مَلْجَأَ وَلَا مَنْجَأَ مِنْكَ اِلَّا إِلَيْكَ اٰمَنْتُ بِكِتَابِكَ الَّذِى أَنْزَلْتَ وَ نَبِيِّكَ الَّذِى أَرْسَلْتَ
Allahumma aslamtu nafsi ilaika, wa wajjahtu wajhiya ilaika wa fawwadtu amri ilaika, wal-ja’tu thahri ilaika, raghbatan wa rahbatan ilaika, la malja’a wa la manja minka illa ilaika, amantu bikitabik-alladhi anzalta, wa binabiyyik-alladhi arsalta[1]
O Allah, I have submitted myself to You, only You exist in my consciousness, I refer all my affairs to You, I place my trust in You and seek only You and fear what is to come from You. I have no place of refuge other than You and there is none to protect me but You. I have believed in the book You have disclosed and the Rasul You have sent.
Bukhari narrates that Bara bin Adhib (ra) says the Rasul of Allah (saw) made this prayer when he went to bed before going to sleep.
The Rasul of Allah (saw) says, “If someone makes this prayer before going to bed and dies that night, he will have died upon the fitrah (disposition) of Islam.”
