Seeking Refuge from Useless Knowledge

Allāhumma innī aʿūdhu bika min ʿadhābi jahannam, wa min ʿadhābi al-qabr, wa min fitnati al-maḥyā wa al-mamāt, wa min sharri fitnati al-masīḥ ad-dajjāl.

O Allah, I seek refuge in You from the punishment of Hell, from the punishment of the grave, from the trials of life and death, and from the evil trial of the False Messiah.

Allāhumma aʿinnī ʿalā dhikrika, wa shukrika, wa ḥusni ʿibādatik.

O Allah, help me to remember You, thank You, and worship You in the best way.

Allāhumma innī as’aluka ḥubbak, wa ḥubba man yuḥibbuk, wal-ʿamala lladhī yuballighunī ḥubbak. Allāhummajʿal ḥubbaka aḥabba ilayya min nafsī wa ahli wa minal-mā’i l-bārid.

“O Allah, I ask You for Your love, and the love of those who love You, and for the deeds that will cause me to attain Your love. O Allah, make Your love more beloved to me than myself, my family, and cold water.”

Rabbi zidni ‘ilma

My Lord, increase me in knowledge.

Allahumma ati nafsi taqwaha wa zakkihā anta khayru man zakkāhā anta waliyyuha wa mawlahā

O Allah, grant my soul its taqwa and purify it; You are the best to purify it, and You are its Guardian and Master.

Ya Muqallibal-qulub, thabbit qalbi ‘ala dinik

O Turner of hearts, make my heart firm upon Your religion.
