يَا مُقَلِّبَ الْقُلُوبِ ثَبِّتْ قَلْبِي عَلَى دِينِكَ
O Turner of the hearts, make my heart firm upon Your religion.
Ya muqallibal-qulubi thabbit qalbi 'ala dinik
When to Read
Recite this dua when you feel your faith wavering, your connection to Allah feeling distant, or when you're experiencing spiritual dryness. It's a powerful supplication for those moments when the warmth ofiman seems to fade, and you yearn for that deep, unwavering connection.
How to Read
Whenever you feel that spiritual dryness, or a sense of detachment from your faith, turn to Allah with sincerity. Raise your hands (if possible) and recite this dua. Focus on the meaning – pleading with the One who controls all hearts to keep yours steadfast. Doing this regularly, especially during such times, can help you maintain your spiritual equilibrium.
Virtues & Benefits
This dua is a direct plea to Allah, the Controller of all affairs, to anchor our hearts to His Deen. Spiritual dryness can be a test, and seeking Allah's help to remain firm is a sign of true reliance. By asking Allah to keep our hearts stable, we acknowledge that faith is not static; it requires constant nurturing and seeking refuge in the Almighty against any spiritual decline.

Yahya related to me from Malik, from Hisham ibn Urwah, from his father, from A'isha, the wife of the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, used to say often: 'O Turner of the hearts, make my heart firm upon Your religion.' She said: I said: 'O Messenger of Allah, what is it that makes you so often swear an oath?' He said: 'No creature of Allah feels secure from His stratagem, and no creature of Allah is from His stratagem." - Sahih Muslim 2660
