Duas for sitting together, starting meetings, and leaving gatherings
May Allah bless you, and shower His blessings upon you, and bring you together in goodness.
O Allah, open to us Your wisdom and spread upon us Your mercy and remind us of the mention of You. O Allah, lead us out from the darkness of doubt and honour us with the light of understanding, and open to us the doors of Your knowledge, and adorn us with Your forbearance. Make us worthy of Your remembrance and worthy of Your gratitude, and make us beloved to obey You, and inspire us to fulfill Your right which is incumbent upon us. Verily, You are Most Capable of all things.
O Allah, I ask You for beneficial knowledge, good provision, and acceptable deeds.
O Allah, remove the anger from his heart, cut down its root, and extinguish his rage, and make him remember You when You speak to him.
O Allah, teach me the Book (Al-Qur'an) and the reckoning (knowledge of matters). O Allah, I ask You for beneficial knowledge, goodly provision, and acceptable deeds.
My Lord, expand my chest [with assurance] and make my task easy and untie the knot from my tongue that they may understand my speech.
O Allah, unite our hearts, mend the rifts between us, guide us to the paths of peace, deliver us from darkness into light, save us from all lewdness, outward and inward. Bless our hearing, our sight, our hearts, our spouses, and our offspring. Accept our repentance, for indeed You are the Accepter of Repentance, the Most Merciful. And make us grateful for Your blessings, praising them, accepting them, and perfect them upon us.
O Allah, guide me and set me on the right path, and remember for me, by Your protection, what You have taught me.
O Allah, grant me a truthful tongue among the later generations.
I seek refuge in the perfect words of Allah from the evil of what He has created.
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. O Allah, we seek refuge in You from the evil of this matter, and from the evil of what is in it. O Allah, make it good for us and good for the Muslims. O Allah, make it easy for us, complete it for us, help us with it, and bless us in it.
