(اللَّهُمَّ آتِ نَفْسِي تَقْوَاهَا ،
وَزَكِّها أنْتَ خَيْرُ مَنْ زَكَّاهَا ، أنْتَ وَلِيُّهَا وَمَوْلاَهَا)
“O Allaah, grant my soul taqwa & purify it, You are the Best of those who purify it, You are its Protecting Friend & Guardian / Master.”
Haadith in English:
Zaid bin Arqam reported: I am not going
to say anything but only that which Allaah’s Messenger (صلى الله عليه وسلم) used to say. He used
to supplicate:
“O Allaah, I seek refuge in Thee from incapacity, from sloth, from
cowardice, from miserliness, decrepitude & from torment of the grave.”
“O Allaah, grant to my
soul the sense of righteousness & purify it, for Thou art the Best Purifier
thereof. Thou art the Protecting Friend & Guardian thereof.”
(اللَّهُمَّ آتِ نَفْسِي تَقْوَاهَا ،
وَزَكِّها أنْتَ خَيْرُ مَنْ زَكَّاهَا ، أنْتَ وَلِيُّهَا وَمَوْلاَهَا)
“O Allaah, I seek refuge in Thee from the knowledge which does not
benefit, from the heart that does not entertain the fear (of Allaah), from the
soul that does not feel contented and the supplication that is not responded.”
