اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ عِلْمًا نَافِعًا، وَرِزْقًا طَيِّبًا، وَعَمَلًا مُتَقَبَّلًا
O Allah, I ask You for beneficial knowledge, goodly provision, and accepted deeds.
Allahumma inni as'aluka 'ilman naafi'an, wa rizqan tayyiban, wa 'amalan mutaqabbalan
When to Read
This dua is particularly poignant during Hajj and Umrah, especially when standing at Arafat, or between Safa and Marwah. It's a supplication to ask Allah to make our actions, our very presence during these sacred rites, meaningful and accepted. Recite it before or after performing Tawaaf, Sa'i, or when supplicating after the obligatory prayers during your pilgrimage. It’s about asking for the essence of worship, not just the performance.
How to Read
Raise your hands as you would for any dua, facing the Qiblah if possible. Begin with praising Allah and sending Salawat upon the Prophet ﷺ. Then, recite this beautiful supplication with sincerity and a humble heart, reflecting on each request. Ask Allah to bless your efforts in Hajj and Umrah with genuine understanding, pure sustenance that aids your worship, and deeds that are accepted by Him.
Virtues & Benefits

Beneficial knowledge illuminates the path, goodly provision removes worldly distractions, and accepted deeds are the ultimate goal of our worship. During Hajj and Umrah, where every action carries immense weight, seeking these three things ensures our pilgrimage is spiritually fulfilling and pleasing to Allah. The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ would often make this dua after the Fajr prayer, showing its importance for a blessed day and, by extension, a blessed journey.
