اللَّهُمَّ أَصْلِحْ لِي دِينِي الَّذِي هُوَ عِصْمَةُ أَمْرِي، وَأَصْلِحْ لِي دُنْيَايَ الَّتِي فِيهَا مَعَاشِي، وَأَصْلِحْ لِي آخِرَتِي الَّتِي إِلَيْهَا مَعَادِي، وَاجْعَلِ الْحَيَاةَ زِيَادَةً لِي فِي كُلِّ خَيْرٍ، وَاجْعَلِ الْمَوْتَ رَاحَةً لِي مِنْ كُلِّ شَرٍّ
O Allah, rectify for me my religion, which is the safeguard of my affair; rectify for me my worldly life in which is my livelihood; and rectify for me my Hereafter, to which is my return. Make life an increase for me in every good, and make death a rest for me from every evil.
Allahumma aslih li deeni allathi huwa 'ismatu amri, wa aslih li dunyaaya allati fiha ma'ashi, wa aslih li aakhirati allati ilayha ma'adi, waj'alil hayata ziyadatan li fi kulli khairin, waj'alil mawta rahatan li min kulli sharrin.
