بِسْمِ اللهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِيْمِ. اَللّٰهُمَّ إِنَّا نَسْأَلُكَ إِيْمَانًا دَائِمًا، وَنَسْأَلُكَ عِلْمًا نَافِعًا، وَنَسْأَلُكَ يَقِيْنًا صَادِقًا، وَنَسْأَلُكَ دِيْنًا قَيِّمًا، وَنَسْأَلُكَ عَفْوًا شَاكِرًا، وَنَسْأَلُكَ عَافِيَةً شَاكِرَةً، وَنَسْأَلُكَ شُكْرَ الْعَافِيَةِ، وَنَسْأَلُكَ الْغِنَى عَنِ النَّاسِ. اَللّٰهُمَّ رَبَّنَا تَقَبَّلْ مِنَّا وَصَلِّنَا بِصَلَاحِ عِبَادِكَ الصَّالِحِيْنَ. اَللّٰهُمَّ آتِنَا فِي الدُّنْيَا حَسَنَةً، وَفِي الْآخِرَةِ حَسَنَةً، وَقِنَا عَذَابَ النَّارِ. اَللّٰهُمَّ اغْفِرْ لِلْمُؤْمِنِيْنَ وَالْمُؤْمِنَاتِ، وَالْمُسْلِمِيْنَ وَالْمُسْلِمَاتِ، اَلْأَحْيَاءِ مِنْهُمْ وَالْأَمْوَاتِ. اَللّٰهُمَّ اهْدِنَا لِأَحْسَنِ الْأَخْلَاقِ لَا يَهْدِي لِأَحْسَنِهَا إِلَّا أَنْتَ، وَاصْرِفْ عَنَّا سَيِّئَهَا لَا يَصْرِفُ عَنَّا سَيِّئَهَا إِلَّا أَنْتَ، اَللّٰهُمَّ حَاسِبْنَا حِسَابًا يَسِيْرًا.

When to Read
This dua is traditionally recited after completing the recitation of the entire Quran (khatm al-Quran). It's a moment of immense blessing where the soul feels connected to Allah's word. Many scholars and pious individuals make it a point to gather after completing the Quran, especially during Ramadan or other special occasions, to recite this dua collectively.
How to Read
It's recommended to recite this dua with sincere intention and humility. Face the Qiblah if possible. Raising your hands is also a Sunnah during supplication. Reflect on each phrase, understanding its meaning and asking Allah sincerely. It is also a beautiful practice to share this moment with family or friends, reciting it together.
Virtues & Benefits
Completing the Quran is a monumental spiritual achievement. This dua encapsulates the core requests of a believer: steadfast faith, beneficial knowledge, sincere conviction, a righteous path, forgiveness, well-being, and gratitude for it, contentment, and protection from the Fire. It's a comprehensive plea that covers the needs of this life and the next, aligning perfectly with the spiritual high of completing Allah's Book. The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ mentioned: 'Whoever recites the Quran and acts upon it, his parents will be given a crown on the Day of Resurrection, the brightness of which would rival that of the sun, though their fathers did not live in this world. So what do you think of the one who acts upon it?' (Sahih Sunan Abi Dawud 1474). While this hadith refers to acting upon the Quran, completing it is the first step, and this dua seeks Allah's help to live by its teachings.
Source & Authentication
The essence of this dua is found in various authentic supplications of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ and his companions. For instance, Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) reported that when the Prophet ﷺ completed the recitation of the Quran, he would say: 'O Allah, illuminate my heart, and my grave, and my sight, and my hearing, and my knowledge, and my thinking. O Allah, grant me patience, and grant me health, and grant me certainty, and grant me gratitude, and grant me reliance on You, and grant me joy in what You have decreed for me, and grant me ease in what You have decreed for me, and protect me from the evil of what You have decreed for me. O Allah, make me grateful for Your blessings, and make me well in my body, and make me well in my hearing, and make me well in my sight, and do not make me of the heedless.' (Al-Mustadrak al-Hakim 1927, authenticated by Al-Hakim and Dhahabi). The dua provided in this entry is a compilation reflecting similar themes and is widely used by scholars for the occasion of khatm al-Quran. The part 'O Allah, give us good in this world and good in the Hereafter, and protect us from the punishment of the Fire' is a direct quote from the Quran (Al-Baqarah 2:201).
