اللَّهُمَّ إِنَّا نَسْأَلُكَ إِيمَانًا دَائِمًا، وَنَسْأَلُكَ قَلْبًا خَاشِعًا، وَنَسْأَلُكَ عِلْمًا نَافِعًا، وَنَسْأَلُكَ يَقِينًا صَادِقًا، وَنَسْأَلُكَ دِينًا قَيِّمًا، وَنَسْأَلُكَ الْعَافِيَةَ فِي كُلِّ بَلَاءٍ، وَنَسْأَلُكَ تَمَامَ الشُّكْرِ، وَنَسْأَلُكَ غِنًى عَنِ النَّاسِ، اللَّهُمَّ رَبَّنَا آتِنَا فِي الدُّنْيَا حَسَنَةً وَفِي الآخِرَةِ حَسَنَةً وَقِنَا عَذَابَ النَّارِ. رَبَّنَا اغْفِرْ لَنَا ذُنُوبَنَا وَذُنُوبَ إِخْوَانِنَا الَّذِينَ سَبَقُونَا بِالإِيمَانِ وَلا تَجْعَلْ فِي قُلُوبِنَا غِلا لِّلَّذِينَ آمَنُوا رَبَّنَا إِنَّكَ رَءُوفٌ رَّحِيمٌ.
O Allah, we ask You for steadfast faith, and we ask You for a humble heart, and we ask You for beneficial knowledge, and we ask You for sincere certainty, and we ask You for upright religion, and we ask You for well-being in all trials, and we ask You for complete gratitude, and we ask You for independence from people. O Allah, our Lord, give us good in this world and good in the Hereafter and protect us from the punishment of the Fire. Our Lord, forgive us our sins and the sins of our brothers who preceded us in faith, and do not place in our hearts hatred towards those who have believed. Our Lord, indeed You are Ever-Kind, Most Merciful.
Allahumma inna nas'aluka imanan da'iman, wa nas'aluka qalban khashi'an, wa nas'aluka 'ilman nafi'an, wa nas'aluka yaqinan sadiqan, wa nas'aluka dinan qayyiman, wa nas'aluka al-'afiyata fi kulli bala', wa nas'aluka tamam ash-shukr, wa nas'aluka ghina 'anin nas. Allahumma Rabbana atina fid-dunya hasanatan wa fil-akhirati hasanatan wa qina 'adhaban-nar. Rabbana ighfir lana dhunubana wa dhunuba ikhwanina alladhina sabaquna bil-iman wa la taj'al fi qulubina ghillan-lil-ladhina amanu Rabbana innaka Ra'ufur-Rahim.
