Translation
O Allah, I ask You for all good, near and far, what I know and what I do not know. I seek refuge in You from all evil, near and far, what I know and what I do not know. I ask You for Paradise and what brings me near to it, and I seek refuge from the Fire and what brings me near to it. I ask You to make every decree You ordain for me good.
Understand the dua
Background & benefit
This long supplication from Ibn Mājah gathers requests for all good (immediate and delayed), refuge from all evil, asking for what the Prophet ﷺ asked for, and concludes with requesting Jannah and that every decree be good. ʿĀʾishah narrates that the Prophet ﷺ taught her this dua, making it one of the most comprehensive, since it covers every type of good and protection in brief but inclusive phrases.
Reciting it helps a believer cover many concerns in one dua, especially when they don’t know how to list every need; it orients the heart towards Jannah and away from the Fire in a balanced way.
