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.
O Allah, make righteous for me my religion which is the safeguard of my affairs; make righteous for me my worldly life in which is my livelihood; make righteous for me my Hereafter to which is my return; and make life an increase for me in every good, and make death a respite for me from every evil.
Allahumma aslih li deeni alladhi huwa 'ismatu amri, wa aslih li dunyaya allati fiha ma'ashi, wa aslih li akhirati allati ilaiha ma'adi, waj'alil-hayata ziyadatan li fi kulli khairin, waj'alil-mawta rahatan li min kulli sharrin.
