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 particularly potent when offered during the blessed hours of Tahajjud, the night prayer. As you stand before Allah in the quiet solitude of the night, seeking His closeness, this supplication can be a powerful way to ask for the foundations of a strong faith: knowledge that benefits, sustenance that is pure, and deeds that are accepted by Him. Itโ€™s a comprehensive request that nurtures the soul and strengthens your connection with the Divine.

How to Read

Recite this dua with sincerity and a humble heart. Imagine yourself in the presence of Allah, acknowledging your dependence on Him for all good. Raise your hands in supplication as you would during any other dua. Focus on the meaning of each part: seeking knowledge that guides you, provisions that are lawful and pleasing to Allah, and actions that are performed solely for His sake and accepted by Him. This can be recited once or multiple times, especially after finishing your prayer or during the moments of prostration (sujood) in Tahajjud.

Virtues & Benefits

This simple yet profound dua encapsulates essential aspects of a believer's life. Asking for beneficial knowledge leads to understanding and acting upon the deen correctly. Seeking pure provisions ensures that your sustenance is lawful and pleasing to Allah, preventing it from becoming a source of heedlessness. Requesting accepted deeds means that your efforts in worship and good works are recognized and rewarded by Allah. Together, these elements contribute to a vibrant and sincere faith, helping you experience the 'sweetness of Iman' and a deeper connection with your Lord, especially during the spiritually charged time of Tahajjud.
