اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ عِلْمًا نَافِعًا، وَرِزْقًا طَيِّبًا، وَعَمَلًا مُتَقَبَّلًا.
O Allah, I ask You for beneficial knowledge, good provision, and acceptable deeds.
Allahumma inni as'aluka 'ilman nafi'an, wa rizqan tayyiban, wa 'amalan mutaqabbalan.
When to Read
This dua is perfect for when you see your spouse facing a challenge, feeling overwhelmed, or needing a boost of spiritual and emotional fortitude. You can recite it after Salah, during the times when dua is readily accepted (like between the Adhan and Iqamah, or in the last third of the night), or at any moment you remember them and feel the urge to supplicate for their well-being. It's a beautiful way to show your love and support through prayer, asking Allah to equip them with what they need to navigate life's difficulties with grace.
How to Read
Begin by making sincere intention for your spouse's well-being. Raise your hands in supplication, placing your palms together. Recite this dua with focus and humility, truly believing that Allah (Subhanahu wa Ta'ala) has the power to grant it. Imagine the qualities you are asking for – beneficial knowledge that guides them, pure provision that sustains them, and deeds that are accepted and pleasing to Him – manifesting in their life. You can also add specific personal duas for their strength and resilience, weaving them into this general supplication.
Virtues & Benefits
While this specific dua focuses on knowledge, provision, and acceptance of deeds, its essence cultivates the very qualities that lead to emotional resilience and inner strength. Beneficial knowledge helps one make sound decisions and understand Allah's will. Good provision alleviates worries about sustenance, freeing the mind. Accepted deeds foster a sense of purpose and connection with Allah, which is the ultimate source of strength. By asking for these things for our spouse, we are indirectly praying for their ability to face hardships with faith, patience, and a strong connection to their Creator.

‘Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) said: The Prophet (ﷺ) used to supplicate in these words: 'O Allah, I ask You for beneficial knowledge, good provision, and acceptable deeds.' When these (three things) are possessed, then the worldly life and the hereafter are perfected. [Mentioned by Ibn al-Qayyim in Zad al-Ma'ad]
