اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ عِلْمًا نَافِعًا، وَرِزْقًا طَيِّبًا، وَعَمَلًا مُتَقَبَّلًا
O Allah, I ask You for beneficial knowledge, good provision, and deeds that are accepted.
Allahumma inni as'aluka 'ilman nafi'an, wa rizqan tayyiban, wa 'amalan mutaqabbalan.
When to Read
This beautiful dua is recommended to be recited immediately after the obligatory Maghrib prayer. As the day draws to a close and the world quiets down, it's a perfect moment to turn our hearts and minds towards Allah, asking for His continued blessings and acceptance of our efforts.
How to Read
Recite this dua with sincerity and focus after completing your Maghrib prayer. You can say it while still seated in your prayer area or after the taslim (final salutation). Raise your hands if you feel moved to do so, but it is not a strict requirement for this particular supplication. The key is the intention and the heartfelt plea to Allah.
Virtues & Benefits
This dua encompasses three essential aspects of a Muslim's life: beneficial knowledge that guides us, pure and lawful provision that sustains us, and deeds that are accepted by Allah, leading to success in this life and the hereafter. By asking for these three, we are essentially seeking Allah's pleasure and support in all our endeavors.

Narrated by Umm Salamah (may Allah be pleased with her) that when the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said the Taslim after the Maghrib prayer, he would say: 'Allahumma inni as'aluka 'ilman nafi'an, wa rizqan tayyiban, wa 'amalan mutaqabbalan.' (O Allah, I ask You for beneficial knowledge, good provision, and deeds that are accepted.)
