Duas for sitting together, starting meetings, and leaving gatherings
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.
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.
Glory be to Allah, who has subjected this to us, and we could never have accomplished it ourselves. And to our Lord, we are to return.
O Allah, expand my chest for me, and ease my task for me, and loosen the knot from my tongue, that they may understand my speech.
O Allah, bless our land, our fruits, and our trade. O Allah, I ask You for beneficial knowledge, pure sustenance, and accepted deeds.
O Allah, benefit me with what You have taught me, and teach me that which will benefit me, and increase me in knowledge.
O Allah, forgive me, have mercy upon me, guide me, grant me well-being, and provide for me.
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, guide me and set me aright, and remember my faults with Your forgiveness, and my efforts with Your guidance.
