O Allah, I ask You for beneficial knowledge, good provision, and deeds that are accepted.
Allahumma inni as'aluka 'ilman naafi'an, wa rizqan tayyiban, wa 'amalan mutaqabbalan
When to Read
This is a comprehensive supplication the Prophet Muhammad ๏ทบ would recite after the morning (Fajr) prayer, but its essence is valuable at any time, especially on Friday. Fridays carry a special significance in Islam; it's a day of immense blessings, a day for increased worship and making heartfelt supplications. Therefore, seeking Allah's guidance for beneficial knowledge, pure sustenance, and accepted deeds on this blessed day is particularly potent. Recite it after your Friday prayer, or at any point during Friday when you seek clarity and divine assistance in making your decisions.
How to Read
Raise your hands in supplication, facing the Qiblah if possible. Begin with praising Allah and sending salutations upon the Prophet Muhammad ๏ทบ. Then, recite this dua with sincerity, focusing on the meaning of each phrase. Ask Allah with conviction, believing that He will respond. Conclude by praising Allah again and sending more salutations upon the Prophet ๏ทบ.
Virtues & Benefits
This dua is a powerful request for three fundamental pillars of a successful life in this world and the Hereafter. 'Beneficial knowledge' (`ilman naafi'an`) leads us to understand Allah's commands and prohibitions, guiding our actions. 'Good provision' (`rizqan tayyiban`) encompasses not just wealth, but all the good things Allah bestows upon us, which we should use in His obedience. 'Accepted deeds' (`'amalan mutaqabbalan`) is the ultimate goal; our actions are only valuable if Allah accepts them. Seeking these on Friday amplifies the potential for Allahโs acceptance and guidance in all aspects of our lives, including making righteous decisions.

โAishah (may Allah be pleased with her) reported that the Prophet Muhammad ๏ทบ never neglected four matters: the fast of Ashura, the fast of three days of every month, praying the Witr prayer, and praying two rak'ahs before Qiyam (Fajr). Another narration from Umm Salamah (may Allah be pleased with her) states: The Prophet Muhammad ๏ทบ, upon completing the Witr prayer, would say: 'Glory be to the Sovereign, the Holy.' And upon reciting the Fajr prayer, he would say: 'O Allah, I ask You for beneficial knowledge, good provision, and acceptable deeds.' (Sahih Muslim 7).
