اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ عِلْمًا نَافِعًا، وَرِزْقًا طَيِّبًا، وَعَمَلاً مُتَقَبَّلاً.
O Allah, I ask You for beneficial knowledge, goodly provision, and deeds that are accepted.
Allahumma inni as'aluka 'ilman naafi'an, wa rizqan tayyiban, wa 'amalan mutaqabbalan.
When to Read
This powerful supplication is best recited immediately after the Fajr (dawn) prayer. It sets the tone for your day, asking Allah for blessings in the very areas that influence our decisions: knowledge to understand, provision to sustain us, and accepted deeds to guide our actions.
How to Read
Recite this dua with sincerity and focus after completing your Fajr prayer. While many adhkar can be recited anywhere, making the effort to sit and focus after prayer enhances its impact. Imagine asking a wise and loving King for exactly what you need to navigate your day with wisdom and purpose.
Virtues & Benefits
This dua encompasses three crucial elements for a successful and guided life. Beneficial knowledge allows us to discern right from wrong and make sound choices. Goodly provision ensures we have what we need without resorting to unlawful means, freeing our minds to focus on righteous actions. Finally, asking for accepted deeds is the ultimate goal, as Allah's acceptance of our worship and efforts is what truly matters. By asking for these, we are essentially asking for Allah's guidance in all aspects of our lives, including decision-making.
