Our Lord, give us in this world [that which is] good and in the Hereafter [that which is] good and protect us from the punishment of the Fire.

Rabbana atina fid-dunya hasanatan wa fil-akhirati hasanatan wa qina 'adhaban-nar

When to Read

This powerful dua is perfect for anytime, but especially beneficial to recite during times of reflection, after prayers, or when making important decisions about your life, career, and family. It encapsulates a complete request for well-being, acknowledging that true success encompasses both this life and the hereafter. You can make it a regular part of your morning or evening supplications.

How to Read

Recite with sincerity and conviction, raising your hands as you would for other supplications. Understand the depth of your request: 'hasanah' (goodness) in this world can encompass wealth, health, knowledge, strong relationships, and righteous deeds, while 'hasanah' in the hereafter refers to Jannah and Allah's pleasure. The plea to be protected from the Fire is a reminder of our ultimate goal: salvation.

Virtues & Benefits

This verse, revealed after the verses discussing the specific blessings granted to the Children of Israel and their disobedience, teaches us the comprehensive nature of a believer's supplication. It's not just about asking for material wealth, but for goodness in its broadest sense, ensuring our actions and circumstances in this life are pleasing to Allah and lead us to paradise. It highlights the interconnectedness of our worldly life and our eternal destiny, urging us to seek a balance that pleases our Creator.
