Trust in Allah
Hasan HadithSunan Ibn Majah 3843

اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ تَوْفِيقَ أَهْلِ الْهُدَى، وَعَزْمَ أَهْلِ الصَّبْرِ، وَأَدَاءَ أَهْلِ التَّقْوَى، وَرَجَاءَ أَهْلِ الْغِنَى، وَزُهْدَ أَهْلِ الرَّغْبَةِ، وَعِلْمَ أَهْلِ الْخَشْيَةِ، وَفِقْهَ أَهْلِ الْوَرَعِ. اللَّهُمَّ اعْصِمْنِي مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ الرَّجِيمِ، وَأَكْرِمْنِي بِالْهِدَايَةِ وَالتَّوْفِيقِ، وَسَدِّدْ خُطَايَ، وَأَعِنِّي عَلَى ذِكْرِكَ وَشُكْرِكَ وَحُسْنِ عِبَادَتِكَ. اللَّهُمَّ ارْزُقْنِي قَلْبًا سَلِيمًا، وَلِسَانًا صَادِقًا، وَأَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنَ الشُّبُهَاتِ، وَأَسْأَلُكَ أَنْ تُحِبَّنِي وَأَنْ تُحِبَّ مَنْ يُحِبُّكَ، وَأَنْ تُلْهِمَنِي أَنْ أَخَافَكَ حَتَّى أَنْفَعَلَ عَمَلَ مَنْ يَخْشَاكَ، وَأَنْ أَكُونَ لَكَ شَاكِرًا، وَأَنْ أَكُونَ لَكَ ذَاكِرًا. اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ رَحْمَةً مِنْ عِنْدِكَ تَهْدِي بِهَا قَلْبِي، وَتَجْمَعُ بِهَا شَمْلِي، وَتَرُدُّ بِهَا لِفَاقَتِي، وَتُحْسِنُ بِهَا عَمَلِي، وَتُبَلِّغُنِي بِهَا أَمَلِي، وَتُعِينُنِي عَلَيْهَا صَبْرِي، اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ فِعْلَ الْخَيْرَاتِ، وَتَرْكَ الْمُنْكَرَاتِ، وَحُبَّ الْمَسَاكِينِ، وَأَنْ تَغْفِرَ لِي، وَتَرْحَمَنِي، وَإِذَا أَرَدْتَ فِي خَلْقِكَ فِتْنَةً، فَاقْبِضْنِي إِلَيْكَ غَيْرَ فَاتِنٍ.

O Allah, I ask You for the success of the guided, the resolve of the patient, the performance of the God-conscious, the hope of the contented, the asceticism of the desirous, the knowledge of the fearful, and the understanding of the scrupulous. O Allah, protect me from the accursed devil, honor me with guidance and success, guide my steps, and help me remember You, thank You, and worship You well. O Allah, grant me a sound heart and a truthful tongue. I seek refuge in You from doubts. I ask that You love me and love those who love You, and inspire me to fear You to the extent that I act like one who fears You. And make me grateful to You and ever-remembering of You. O Allah, I ask You for mercy from You that guides my heart, gathers my scattered affairs, fulfills my needs, perfects my deeds, brings me to my hopes, and aids me in my patience. O Allah, I ask You to enable me to do good deeds and abandon evil deeds, and to love the poor. And forgive me, have mercy upon me. And if You decree a trial for Your creation, then take me to Yourself without having fallen into it.

Allahumma inni as'aluka tawfeegha ahlil-huda, wa 'azma ahlis-sabr, wa ada'a ahlit-taqwa, wa raja'a ahlil-ghina, wa zuhda ahlir-raghbah, wa 'ilm ahlil-khashyah, wa fiqha ahlil-wara'. Allahumma a'simni mish-shaytanir-rajeem, wa akrimni bil-hidayati wat-tawfeeq, wa saddid khuthaaya, wa a'inni 'ala dhikrika wa shukrika wa husni 'ibadatika. Allahumma urzuqni qalban saleeman, wa lisaanan saadiqan, wa a'udhu bika mish-shubuhaat, wa as'aluka an tuhibbani wa an tuhibba man yuhibbuka, wa an tulhimani an akhafaka hatta anfa'ala 'amala man yakhshaak, wa an akoona laka shaakiran, wa an akoona laka dhaakiran. Allahumma inni as'aluka rahmatan min 'indika tahdi biha qalbi, wa tajma'u biha shamli, wa taruddu biha lifaaqati, wa tuhsinu biha 'amali, wa tuballighuni biha amali, wa tu'eenuni 'alayha sabri. Allahumma inni as'aluka fi'lal-khayraat, wa tarkal-munkaraat, wa hubbal-masaakeen, wa an taghfir li, wa tarhamani, wa idha aradta fi khalqika fitnatan, faqbidni ilayka ghayra faatin.
