اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي عَبْدُكَ، ابْنُ عَبْدِكَ، ابْنُ أَمَتِكَ، نَاصِيَتِي بِيَدِكَ، مَاضٍ فِيَّ حُكْمُكَ، عَدْلٌ فِيَّ قَضَاؤُكَ، أَسْأَلُكَ بِكُلِّ اسْمٍ هُوَ لَكَ، سَمَّيْتَ بِهِ نَفْسَكَ، أَوْ أَنْزَلْتَهُ فِي كِتَابِكَ، أَوْ عَلَّمْتَهُ أَحَدًا مِنْ خَلْقِكَ، أَوْ اسْتَأْثَرْتَ بِهِ فِي عِلْمِ الغَيْبِ عِنْدَكَ، أَنْ تَجْعَلَ القُرْآنَ رَبِيعَ قَلْبِي، وَنُورَ صَدْرِي، وَجَلَاءَ حُزْنِي، وَذَهَابَ هَمِّي، وَقَائِدِي إِلَى الجَنَّةِ وَنَجَاتِي مِنَ النَّارِ
O Allah, indeed I am Your servant, son of Your servant, son of Your female servant. My forelock is in Your hand. Your command over me is forever enacted. Your decision concerning me is just. I ask You by every Name that You have called Yourself, or revealed in Your Book, or taught to any one of Your creation, or kept unto Yourself in the knowledge of the unseen which You possess, that You make the Qur'an the springtime of my heart, and the light of my chest, the banisher of my sadness, and the reliever of my worries, and my guide to Paradise and my salvation from the Fire.
Allahumma inni 'abduka, ibnu 'abdika, ibnu amatika, nasiyatii biyadika, madin fiyya hukumuka, 'adlun fiyya qada'uka, as'aluka bikulli ismin huwa laka, sammayta bihi nafsaka, aw anzaltahu fi kitabila, aw 'allamtahu ahadan min khalqika, aw ista'tharta bihi fi 'ilmil-ghaibi 'indaka, an taj'ala al-Qur'ana rabi'a qalbi, wa nura sadri, wa jalaa'a huzni, wa dhahaba hammi, wa qa'idi ila al- Jannati wa najati min an-nar.
When to Read
This profound dua is perfect for recitation when you feel overwhelmed by life's difficulties, experiencing loneliness, or seeking solace and connection. It's particularly fitting when facing trials, as it turns our hearts towards the ultimate source of comfort and guidance – the Qur'an and Allah's infinite Names and Attributes. Recite it during the day or night, especially in times of deep reflection or when feeling isolated.
How to Read
Begin with sincerity, understanding that you are turning to your Creator, the All-Powerful and All-Knowing. It's recommended to raise your hands in supplication, though not mandatory for every dua. Utter the words with humility and conviction, focusing on the meaning of each phrase. This supplication draws strength from Allah's magnificent Names and His Divine Book. Imagine the Qur'an as a source of life and light for your heart and soul, dispelling the darkness of despair.
Virtues & Benefits
This dua offers immense benefits. It acknowledges Allah's sovereignty and our complete reliance on Him. By asking for the Qur'an to be the 'springtime of the heart,' it promises renewal and life in the face of spiritual or emotional dryness, alleviating sadness and worry. It seeks Allah's guidance to Paradise and protection from the Hellfire, encompassing the greatest desires for any believer. The emphasis on Allah's Names highlights the power of tawassul (seeking closeness to Allah through His attributes), a powerful means of having supplications answered.
