اللَّهُمَّ لَا تَجْعَلْ فِي قَلْبِي رَيْبًا مِمَّا أَصْبَحْتُ وَأَمْسَيْتُ، اللَّهُمَّ اسْتَعْمِلْنِي بِخَيْرٍ، وَاقْبِضْنِي إِلَى خَيْرٍ، وَهَوِّنْ عَلَيَّ أَمْرَ خَيْرٍ، وَسَهِّلْ لِي خَيْرًا، وَأَعْطِنِي خَيْرًا، وَاجْعَلْنِي رَاضِيًا، وَاجْعَلْنِي مَهْدِيًّا، اللَّهُمَّ إِلَيْكَ أَفْضِي مِنْ هُنَا، وَأَنَا أَدْعُوكَ، وَأَسْأَلُكَ، وَأَرْجُوكَ، فَأَعْطِنِي مَا سَأَلْتُكَ، وَبَلِّغْنِي مَا رَجَوْتُكَ، وَلَا تَبْتَلِيَنِي فِيمَا رَجَوْتُكَ.
O Allah, do not place doubt in my heart regarding what I have reached this morning and this evening. O Allah, employ me in goodness, take me back to goodness, make the matter of goodness easy for me, facilitate goodness for me, grant me goodness, make me content, and make me guided. O Allah, to You I shall arrive from here, and I call upon You, and I ask You, and I hope in You. So grant me what I have asked of You, and let me reach what I have hoped for from You, and do not try me concerning what I have hoped for from You.
Allahumma la taj'al fi qalbi raiban mimma asbahna wa amsayna. Allahumma-stam'ilni bi khair, wa aqbidni ila khair, wa hawwin 'alayya amra khair, wa sahhil li khaira, wa a'tini khaira, waj'alni radhiyyan, waj'alni mahdiyyan. Allahumma ilaika afdi min huna, wa ana ad'uka, wa as'aluka, wa arjuka, fa a'tini ma sa'altuka, wa ballighni ma rajawtuka, wa la tabtalini fima rajawtuka.
When to Read
This profound supplication is particularly relevant when one witnesses a mirage – that deceptive illusion of water or distant objects that appear real but vanish upon approach. It serves as a powerful reminder of the transient nature of worldly illusions and the absolute certainty of divine reality. Beyond literal mirages, it can be recited whenever one feels swayed by deceptive appearances, fleeting desires, or uncertainty about the path ahead, seeking Allah's firm guidance.
How to Read
Recite this dua with sincerity and a focused heart. It's best recited after the obligatory prayers or during times of quiet reflection, especially when contemplating the transient nature of the dunya. Visualizing the mirage as a metaphor for worldly deceptions can deepen the impact of the words, fostering a reliance on Allah's true guidance over fleeting illusions.
Virtues & Benefits
This dua is a comprehensive plea for spiritual clarity and steadfastness. By seeking refuge from doubt and asking for guidance, we align our hearts with Allah's will. The request to be 'employed in goodness,' 'taken back to goodness,' and to have 'goodness facilitated' encompasses all aspects of a Muslim's life. It strengthens our resolve to pursue what is truly beneficial and to avoid being deceived by the ephemeral.
