اللَّهُمَّ أَصْلِحْ لِي دِينِي الَّذِي هُوَ عِصْمَةُ أَمْرِي، وَأَصْلِحْ لِي دُنْيَايَ الَّتِي فِيهَا مَعَاشِي، وَأَصْلِحْ لِي آخِرَتِي الَّتِي إِلَيْهَا مَعَادِي، وَاجْعَلِ الْحَيَاةَ زِيَادَةً لِي فِي كُلِّ خَيْرٍ، وَاجْعَلِ الْمَوْتَ رَاحَةً لِي مِنْ كُلِّ شَرٍّ. اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ الْهُدَى وَالتُّقَى وَالْعَفَافَ وَالْغِنَى.
O Allah, rectify for me my religion which is the safeguard of my affairs, and rectify for me my worldly life in which is my sustenance, and rectify for me my Hereafter to which is my return. Make life an increase for me in all good, and make death a rest for me from all evil. O Allah, I ask You for guidance, piety, chastity, and richness (contentment).
Allahumma aslih li deeni alladhi huwa 'ismatu amri, wa aslih li dunyaya allati fiha ma'ashi, wa aslih li akhirati allati ilayha ma'adi, waj'alil-hayati ziyadatan li fi kulli khayrin, waj'alil-mawta rahatan li min kulli sharrin. Allahumma inni as'alukal-huda wat-tuqa wal-'afafa wal-ghina.

‘Abdullah ibn Mas‘ud (may Allah be pleased with him) said: The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ used to supplicate: اللَّهُمَّ أَصْلِحْ لِي دِينِي الَّذِي هُوَ عِصْمَةُ أَمْرِي، وَأَصْلِحْ لِي دُنْيَايَ الَّتِي فِيهَا مَعَاشِي، وَأَصْلِحْ لِي آخِرَتِي الَّتِي إِلَيْهَا مَعَادِي، وَاجْعَلِ الْحَيَاةَ زِيَادَةً لِي فِي كُلِّ خَيْرٍ، وَاجْعَلِ الْمَوْتَ رَاحَةً لِي مِنْ كُلِّ شَرٍّ. He would also supplicate: اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ الْهُدَى وَالتُّقَى وَالْعَفَافَ وَالْغِنَى. (Sahih Muslim 2720)
