اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ مِنْ فَضْلِكَ
O Allah, I ask You from Your bounty.
Allahumma inni as'aluka min fadlik
When to Read
This dua is recited when leaving the Masjid. It's particularly poignant when facing financial hardship or needing assistance with paying off debts, as seeking Allah's bounty is a comprehensive request that encompasses all forms of provision and ease.
How to Read
Recite this dua once after completing your prayers and actions within the Masjid, just before stepping out. It's a moment to turn to Allah directly, asking for His grace as you re-enter the world and its responsibilities. Some scholars suggest reciting it three times, reflecting the Sunnah of reciting other duas thrice.
Virtues & Benefits
This simple yet powerful dua taps into the limitless treasure of Allah's bounty. By asking 'from Your bounty,' you're not limiting your request, but rather acknowledging that all good comes from Him. This can be a means of alleviating worries, including the burden of debt, by seeking divine assistance and provision. Allah's bounty can manifest in unexpected ways, providing the means to overcome financial difficulties, opening doors to opportunities, or bringing ease and satisfaction.
