اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ عِلْمًا نَافِعًا، وَرِزْقًا طَيِّبًا، وَعَمَلًا مُتَقَبَّلًا.
O Allah, I ask You for beneficial knowledge, pure provisions, and accepted deeds.
Allahumma inni as'aluka 'ilman nafi'an, wa rizqan tayyiban, wa 'amalan mutaqabbalan.
When to Read
This dua is recited immediately after waking up in the morning, before engaging in any other activities. It sets a positive and intention-driven tone for the entire day, asking Allah for blessings in three fundamental aspects of our lives: knowledge, sustenance, and actions.
How to Read
Recite this dua with sincere intention and a hopeful heart. Visualize the meaning as you speak: asking for knowledge that benefits you and others, provision that is lawful and good, and deeds that are accepted by Allah. It's recommended to raise your hands slightly as you make the dua, just as you would for other supplications.
Virtues & Benefits
This supplication encompasses seeking the best in this life and the hereafter. Beneficial knowledge guides us to what is right and pleasing to Allah. Pure provisions sustain us and keep our prayers answered. Accepted deeds are the very purpose of our existence, bringing us closer to our Creator. By asking for these three, we are essentially asking for a complete and blessed day, aligned with Allah's will.
