This dua is our immediate request to Allah for His continued blessings and sustenance as we re-engage with our daily lives.

How to Read

Recite this once after stepping out of the Masjid. It's a brief but profound supplication, acknowledging that all provision and grace stems from Allah. It’s often taught that this specific dua is linked to seeking beneficial trade or sustenance after leaving the place of worship.

By asking for His bounty, we are essentially asking Him to make our endeavors blessed and to protect us from ill-gotten gains or blessings that could lead us astray. It sets a tone of humility and reliance as we face the challenges and opportunities outside the mosque's sanctity.
