O Allah, accept our righteous deeds and make them purely for Your noble face.

Allahumma taqabbal minna salih 'amalina waj'alha khalisatan liwajhik al-karim

When to Read

This dua is perfect to recite after completing any good deed, whether it's a simple act of kindness, a prayer, reading Quran, or any other act of worship. It's also beneficial to make it a habit to say it regularly, perhaps after your daily prayers, to ensure your efforts are consistently directed towards pleasing Allah.

How to Read

Recite this dua with sincerity, humility, and a hopeful heart. Understand that ultimate acceptance lies with Allah. Focus on the meaning: you are asking the Creator of the heavens and the earth to acknowledge and accept the little you do for His sake. Imagine yourself presenting your deeds before Him, seeking His pleasure.

Virtues & Benefits

The primary benefit is seeking Allah's acceptance of our deeds, which is the ultimate goal for any believer. Sincerity (ikhlas) is a cornerstone of accepted worship. The Quran states, "And they were not commanded except to worship Allah, sincere to Him in religion..." (Al-Bayyinah 98:5). The Prophet Muhammad ๏ทบ also taught us about the importance of intention: "Actions are only by intentions..." (Sahih al-Bukhari 1). Making this dua reinforces the focus on pleasing Allah alone, guarding against showing off or seeking praise from people, which can nullify rewards.
