Duas for sitting together, starting meetings, and leaving gatherings
Peace be upon you, and the mercy of Allah and His blessings.
O Allah, I ask You for its goodness, the goodness of its people, and the goodness of what is in it. And I seek refuge in You from its evil, the evil of its people, and the evil of what is in it. O Allah, grant me its benefit and its blessings.
O Allah, unite our hearts, and reconcile the matters between us, and guide us to the ways of peace. Deliver us from the darkness into the light. Keep us away from all shameful deeds, whether open or secret. Bless our hearing, our sight, our hearts, our wives, and our offspring. Accept our repentance, for You are the Accepter of repentance and the Most Merciful.
Glory be to You, O Allah, and praise be to You. I bear witness that there is no god but You. I seek Your forgiveness and turn to You in repentance.
In the name of Allah. O Allah, I ask You for the goodness of this matter and the goodness of what is in it, and I seek refuge in You from the evil of this matter and the evil of what is in it. And I seek refuge in You from laziness and the evil of old age, three times. And when he asks You, then answer him, and when he seeks Your guidance, then choose for him.
O Allah, I ask You for beneficial knowledge, pure provision, and accepted deeds.
O Allah, I ask You to enable me to do good deeds and to abandon evil deeds, and I ask You for a pure heart and a truthful tongue. I ask You for the good that You know, and I seek refuge in You from the evil that You know. I seek Your forgiveness for what You know, indeed, You are the Knower of the unseen.
Our Lord, forgive us and our brothers who preceded us in faith and do not place in our hearts resentment toward those who have believed. Our Lord, indeed You are Kind and Merciful.
O Allah, I ask You for its goodness, and the goodness of its people, and the goodness of what You have created it with. And I seek refuge in You from its evil, and the evil of its people, and the evil of what You have created it with.
O Allah, forgive him and have mercy on him, and grant him well-being and pardon him. Honor his reception, make his grave spacious, and cleanse him with water, snow, and hail. Purify him from sins as a white garment is purified from dirt. Replace his worldly home with a better one, his family with a better one, and his spouse with a better one. Admit him to Paradise and protect him from the punishment of the grave and the punishment of the Fire.
