اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ نَفْسًا مُطْمَئِنَّةً، تُؤْمِنُ بِلِقَائِكَ، وَتَرْضَى بِقَضَائِكَ، وَتَقْنَعُ بِعَطَائِكَ
O Allah, I ask You for a soul at ease (tranquil), which believes in meeting You, is pleased with Your decree, and content with Your bestowal.
Allahumma inni as'aluka nafsan mutma'innah, tu'minu biliqa'ika, wa tarda bi qada'ika, wa taqna'u bi 'ata'ika
When to Read
This beautiful dua is particularly powerful to recite during sujood (prostration) in prayer. It's a moment of deep submission where you are closest to your Lord. You can also make it during other times of prayer, like after the Tashahhud, or even in your personal supplications outside of prayer when seeking calm.
How to Read
Recite this dua with sincerity and focus, especially during sujood. Imagine your heart and soul settling into a state of peace as you utter these words. Let the meaning sink in: you are asking Allah for a heart that finds rest in His presence, accepts His decisions, and is satisfied with what He gives.
Virtues & Benefits

This inner tranquility is a immense blessing, allowing us to connect with Allah more deeply, feel His presence, and navigate life's challenges with faith and contentment.
