اَللّٰهُمَّ اكْفِنِي بِحَلَالِكَ عَنْ حَرَامِكَ وَأَغْنِنِي بِفَضْلِكَ عَمَّنْ سِوَاكَ
O Allah, suffice me with Your lawful provision instead of Your unlawful provision, and enrich me with Your bounty, so that I may not need anyone other than You.
Allahumma-kfinii bihalalika 'an haramika wa aghninii bifadlika 'amman siwaka
When to Read
This is a beautiful dua to recite regularly, especially after your obligatory prayers (Fardh Salah). You can also make it a part of your morning and evening supplications (Adhkar). When you find yourself facing financial difficulties, or even when you feel your provision is limited, this dua is a profound way to turn to Allah with complete reliance.
How to Read
Make this dua with sincere intention and absolute certainty in Allah's power to provide. Raise your hands as you do so, mirroring the practice of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ. Focus on the meaning of the words, truly asking Allah to protect you from unlawful means and to grant you abundance through His grace. Recite it with humility and a hopeful heart.
Virtues & Benefits
This dua encapsulates a deep understanding of Tawakkul (reliance on Allah). It seeks protection from haram (unlawful) earnings, which can bring hardship in this life and the hereafter, and asks for the best kind of rizq – that which is halal and comes directly from Allah's grace. It purifies one's means of sustenance and fosters contentment. The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ taught this dua to his cousin Ali ibn Abi Talib (may Allah be pleased with him) when he advised him to recite it daily to help him pay off his debt.
