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 specifically recommended to be recited after the Fajr (morning) prayer. It's a beautiful way to start your day, seeking Allah's blessings on your actions and sustenance from the very beginning.
How to Read
Recite this dua sincerely after finishing the obligatory Fajr prayer, preferably while still in your prayer place. Focus on the meaning of each request: seeking knowledge that benefits you, pure and lawful provision, and deeds that are accepted by Allah. Have conviction that Allah hears your supplication.
Virtues & Benefits
This powerful dua encompasses seeking three of the most essential aspects for a believer's life. Beneficial knowledge guides us in our worship and dealings. Goodly provision allows us to live without unlawful means and support ourselves and our families. Accepted deeds are the ultimate goal, as they are what truly weigh on the scales on the Day of Judgment. By asking for these, we are essentially asking for a life that is pleasing to Allah, leading to a strong and steadfast heart in our faith.

The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said: 'When the morning prayer is performed, and the servant says (while still sitting): Allahumma inni as'aluka 'ilman naafi'an, wa rizqan tayyiban, wa 'amalan mutaqabbalan. (O Allah, I ask You for beneficial knowledge, goodly provision, and accepted deeds) - then if he dies on that day, he will die upon goodness (in a state of righteousness).'
