O Allah, I ask You for the best of requests, and the best of supplications, and the best of success, and the best of deeds, and the best of rewards, and the best of life, and the best of death. Make me steadfast, and make my good deeds weigh heavily [on the scale], and make my faith true. Grant me the highest ranks in Paradise. O Allah, I ask You for the keys to all good, and its conclusions, and its comprehensive aspects, and its beginnings, and its outward, and its inward, and the highest ranks in Paradise. O Allah, I ask You to elevate my mention, and lighten my burden, and rectify my affairs, and purify my heart, and protect my chastity, and illuminate my heart, and forgive my sins. I ask You for the highest ranks in Paradise. O Allah, Ameen. O Allah, I ask You to bless my soul, my hearing, my sight, my spirit, my character, my family, my wealth, and my deeds. Accept my good deeds, and I ask You for the highest ranks in Paradise. Ameen. O Allah, I ask You to assist me through my efforts, and to grant me moderation, and to give me generously, and to be pleased with me, and to have mercy on me, and to forgive me, and to make me independent of all save You. O Allah, set right for me my religion, which is the safeguard of my affairs; set right for me my world, wherein is my livelihood; and set right for me my Hereafter, to which is my return. Make life an increase for me in all good, and make death a rest for me from all evil.
