- اللهم إني أسألك خير المسألة، وخير الدعاء، وخير النجاح، وخير العمل، وخير الثواب، وخير الحياة، وخير الممات، وثبتني وثقل موازيني، وحقق إيماني، وارفع درجاتي، وتقبل صلاتي ، واغفر خطيئتي، وأسألك الدرجات العلى من الجنة

Oh Allah, please help me remember the parts I’ve forgotten, enlighten me about what I don’t know, and let me recite it during the quiet hours of night and the early moments of day. Let it be a testament to my faith, Oh Lord of all creation. Oh Allah, help me improve my religion, for it’s the foundation of all I do. “And improve my worldly life, for it’s how I make my living. And improve my afterlife, for it’s where my journey ultimately leads.” Please let my life be a journey of growing goodness, and let my death be a release from all that is wrong.”
