اللَّهُمَّ أَصْلِحْ لَنَا دِينَناَ الَّذِي هُوَ عِصْمَةُ أَمْرِنَا، وَأَصْلِحْ لَنَا دُنْيَانَا الَّتِي فِيهَا مَعَاشُنَا، وَأَصْلِحْ لَنَا آخِرَتَنَا الَّتِي إِلَيْهَا مَعَادُنَا، وَاجْعَلِ الْحَيَاةَ زِيَادَةً لَنَا فِي كُلِّ خَيْرٍ، وَاجْعَلِ الْمَوْتَ رَاحَةً لَنَا مِنْ كُلِّ شَرٍّ
O Allah, mend our religion for us, which is the safeguard of our affairs; and mend our worldly lives in which is our livelihood; and mend our Hereafter to which is our return; and make life an increase for us in all goodness; and make death a rest for us from all evil.
Allahumma aslih lana deenana alladhi huwa 'ismatu amrina, wa aslih lana dunyana allati fiha ma'ashuna, wa aslih lana akhiratana allati ilayha ma'aduna, waj'alil-hayata ziyadatan lana fi kulli khairin, waj'alil-mawta rahatan lana min kulli sharrin.
