اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ عِلْمًا نَافِعًا، وَرِزْقًا طَيِّبًا، وَعَمَلًا مُتَقَبَّلًا.
O Allah, I ask You for beneficial knowledge, pure provision, and deeds that are accepted.
Allahumma inni as'aluka 'ilman naafi'an, wa rizqan tayyiban, wa 'amalan mutaqabbalan.
When to Read
This dua is ideally recited immediately after Fajr prayer, before engaging in the day's work or studies. It's a beautiful way to set the intention for your morning, asking Allah to bless every aspect of your efforts.
How to Read
Recite this sincerely with a clear intention. Raise your hands slightly if you wish, facing the Qiblah, and ask Allah with humility and certainty that He will respond. It's a personal supplication, so internalize the meaning of each word as you speak it.
Virtues & Benefits
This powerful dua encompasses three fundamental requests for a blessed life: beneficial knowledge that guides you, pure provision that sustains you without hardship or haram, and accepted deeds that bring you closer to Allah. When we ask for these things at the start of our day, we are essentially asking Allah to grant us success and divine assistance in all our endeavors, spiritual and worldly.
