اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ نَفْسًا بِكَ مُطْمَئِنَّةً، تُؤْمِنُ بِلِقَائِكَ، وَتَرْضَى بِقَضَائِكَ، وَتَقْنَعُ بِعَطَائِكَ
O Allah, I ask You for a soul at peace with You, believing in meeting You, content with Your decree, and satisfied with Your giving.

Virtues & Benefits
This supplication seeks a profound state of spiritual tranquility. The 'nafsan mutma'innah' – a soul at rest – is the state described in the Quran for those who return to Allah (Surah Al-Fajr 89:27-30). By asking for a soul that believes in meeting Allah, we are reminded of the ultimate reality and the rewards that await the patient. Contentment with Allah's decree ('qada') is a cornerstone of strong faith, accepting both the good and the difficult as part of His wisdom. And satisfaction with His provision ('ata') helps us avoid complaining and fosters gratitude, knowing that whatever Allah gives or withholds is for our greater good.
