اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ نَفْسًا بِكَ مُطْمَئِنَّةً، تُؤْمِنُ بِلِقَائِكَ، وَتَرْضَى بِقَضَائِكَ، وَتَقْنَعُ بِعَطَائِكَ
O Allah, I ask You for a soul that is content with You, that believes in meeting You, that is pleased with Your decree, and satisfied with Your giving.
Allahumma inni as'aluka nafsan bika mutma'innah, tu'minu biliqa'ika, wa tardha bi qada'ika, wa taqna'u bi 'ata'ika.
When to Read
This dua is perfect for those moments when you feel restless, anxious, or overwhelmed by circumstances. It's especially beneficial when you find yourself questioning Allah's plan or feeling discontent with what He has destined for you. Recite it when you need to anchor your heart and find inner peace amidst life's turbulence.
How to Read
Recite this dua with sincerity and a heartfelt desire for Allah's contentment. Raise your hands as you would in supplication. Focus on the meaning of the words, asking Allah to grant you a stable heart that trusts His plan. It's best recited when you have a quiet moment, perhaps after your obligatory prayers or during the night.
Virtues & Benefits
This beautiful supplication seeks the highest form of spiritual tranquility: a soul at peace with its Lord. A soul that is 'mutma'innah' (content, tranquil) finds rest in Allah's presence, trusts in His promise of meeting Him, accepts His predestined will (qada'), and is satisfied with whatever He provides ('ata'). This state brings immense peace and reduces anxiety, as one's focus shifts from worldly struggles to divine satisfaction.

Al-Hasan Al-Basri (may Allah have mercy on him) said: 'Allah, the Mighty and Sublime, said: 'O son of Adam, do not despair of Me, for I do not prevent what you desire except that you have been destined for something that is better for you than what you desire, and you do not refrain from something except that it is destined for you that it is better for you than what you refrain from. This is in the knowledge of God and His wisdom.' And Allah revealed to Jesus, peace be upon him: 'O son of Adam, do not complain of My decree, for I am the one who decrees, and I am more knowledgeable about what is best for you. Turn away from what you desire to what I have decreed for you, and it will suffice you. And do not prevent what you desire and ask Me for it, and if it is not in your knowledge and it is not in the decreed, then it is yours. And when it is not in your knowledge and it is not in the decreed, then it is more fitting for you that you be satisfied with what I have decreed and that you are pleased with what I have chosen for you.' And Allah, the Mighty and Sublime, said: 'Allah knows, and you do not know.' And it was narrated that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to say: 'O Allah, I ask You for a soul that is content with You, that believes in meeting You, that is pleased with Your decree, and satisfied with Your giving.'
