اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ عِلْمًا نَافِعًا، وَرِزْقًا طَيِّبًا، وَعَمَلاً مُتَقَبَّلاً
O Allah, I ask You for beneficial knowledge, pure provision, and accepted deeds.
Allahumma inni as'aluka 'ilman nafi'an, wa rizqan tayyiban, wa 'amalan mutaqabbalan
When to Read
This is a powerful supplication the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ would recite every morning after Fajr prayer. It's perfect to include in your daily morning routine, immediately after finishing your prayers, as you prepare to face the day's challenges and opportunities.
How to Read
Recite this dua with sincerity and conviction. Visualize yourself seeking Allah's help for these three essential aspects of life: knowledge that benefits you in this world and the next, provision that is lawful and pure, and deeds that are accepted by your Creator. You can say it while sitting in your prayer area after the taslim (final salutations).
Virtues & Benefits
This dua encompasses seeking the best for our spiritual and worldly well-being. * **Beneficial knowledge ('ilman nafi'an):** This refers to knowledge that leads to righteous actions and brings us closer to Allah, not just academic or worldly knowledge. * **Pure provision (rizqan tayyiban):** This asks for sustenance that is lawful (halal), healthy, and pleasing to Allah, which nourishes both the body and soul. * **Accepted deeds ('amalan mutaqabbalan):** This is the ultimate aim – that our efforts in worship and good deeds are accepted by Allah, leading to reward in this life and the hereafter. By asking for these three things, we are essentially asking Allah to grant us the tools and the success to live a life that is pleasing to Him.
