Dua for Experiencing the Sweetness of Iman during Tahajjud

Night Worship & Tahajjud
Sahih HadithWhile this specific phrasing is a compilation of requests found in various authentic duas, the core elements are derived from prophetic supplications. For instance, the request for beneficial knowledge is well-established.

اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ إِيمَانًا يُبَاشِرُ قَلْبِي، وَيَقِينًا صَادِقًا، وَتَوْبَةً نَصُوحًا، وَقَلْبًا سَلِيمًا، وَرِزْقًا حَلَالًا وَاسِعًا، وَعِلْمًا نَافِعًا، وَعَمَلًا صَالِحًا، وَهَدْيًا سَوِيًّا، وَأَجْرًا عَظِيمًا، وَعَافِيَةً فِي الدُّنْيَا وَالْآخِرَةِ، وَأَسْأَلُكَ الْفَوْزَ بِالْجَنَّةِ وَالنَّجَاةَ مِنَ النَّارِ.

O Allah, I ask You for faith that penetrates my heart, truthful certainty, sincere repentance, a sound heart, abundant lawful provision, beneficial knowledge, righteous deeds, upright guidance, a great reward, and well-being in this world and the Hereafter. And I ask You for success in gaining Paradise and salvation from the Fire.

Allahumma inni as'aluka imanan yubashiru qalbi, wa yaqinan sadiqan, wa tawbatan nasuha, wa qalban saliman, wa rizqan halalan wasi'an, wa 'ilman nafi'an, wa 'amalan salihan, wa huda sawiyyan, wa ajran 'adhiman, wa 'afiyatan fid-dunya wal-akhirah, wa as'alukal-fawza bil-jannati wan-najata minan-nar.

When to Read

This dua is particularly suited for the profound moments of Tahajjud, when one's heart is most receptive to heartfelt supplication. Reciting it during the last third of the night, when Allah descends to the nearest heaven, enhances its potential impact.

How to Read

Begin with sincere intention and a humble heart. Raise your hands in supplication as you recite the words. Reflect on the meaning of each request, truly seeking Allah's favor. Ensure your clothing, place, and body are pure, as is the etiquette for all supplications.

Virtues & Benefits

Seeking 'iman that penetrates the heart' is a direct path to experiencing the sweetness of faith. This transforms worship from a mere obligation into a source of deep joy and connection with Allah. The other requests—truthful certainty, sincere repentance, a sound heart, lawful provision, beneficial knowledge, righteous deeds, guidance, and well-being—all contribute to a holistic spiritual life that is pleasing to Allah and leads to ultimate success in the Hereafter.
