A Du'aa for Everything That Matters

اللَّهُمَّ أَلِّفْ بَيْنَ قُلُوبِنَا، وَأَصْلِحْ ذَاتَ بَيْنِنَا، وَاهْدِنَا سُبُلَ السَّلَامِ، وَنَجِّنَا مِنَ الظُّلُمَاتِ إِلَى النُّورِ، وَجَنِّبْنَا الْفَوَاحِشَ مَا ظَهَرَ مِنْهَا وَمَا بَطَنَ، وَبَارِكْ لَنَا فِي أَسْمَاعِنَا وَأَبْصَارِنَا وَقُلُوبِنَا وَأَزْوَاجِنَا وَذُرِّيَّاتِنَا، وَتُبْ عَلَيْنَا إِنَّكَ أَنْتَ التَّوَّابُ الرَّحِيمُ، وَاجْعَلْنَا شَاكِرِينَ لِنِعْمَتِكَ مُثْنِينَا بِهَا قَابِلِيهَا وَأَتِمَّهَا عَلَيْنَا

Ya Allah, unite our hearts, set right the matters between us, guide us to the paths of peace, bring us from darkness into light, keep us away from all that is indecent — outward and inward — bless us in our hearing, our sight, our hearts, our spouses and our children, turn to us in mercy for You are the Ever-Relenting, the Most Merciful and make us grateful for Your blessings, praising You for them, accepting them and complete them upon us. (Sunan Abu Dawud)

Transliteration: Allahumma allif bayna quloobina, wa aslih dhata baynina, wahdina subulas-salam, wa najjina minadh-dhulumati ilan-nur, wa jannibnal-fawahisha ma dhahara minha wa ma batan, wa barik lana fi asmaʿina wa absarina wa quloobina wa azwajina wa dhurriyyatina, wa tub alayna innaka antat-tawwabur-raheem, wajʿalna shakirina liniʿmatika muthniyna biha qabiliha wa atimmha alayna.

There is something quietly remarkable about this du'aa.

It was taught by the Prophet ﷺ to his companions as words he wanted them to hold onto and return to. When you read it slowly, you understand why.

It asks for everything that holds a life together.

It begins with the heart; asking Allah to bring hearts closer to one another and to mend what has frayed between people. Because so much of our pain lives there, in the distances that form between us and the people we love, in the unsaid things, the unresolved tensions, the relationships that used to feel easy and no longer do.

Then it asks for guidance to paths of peace; not just one path but paths, plural. Because peace looks different for every person and every situation, and only Allah knows which road leads there for you.

Then it asks to be brought from darkness to light. Whatever form that darkness takes; confusion, grief, sin, distance from Allah... this is a request to be guided out of it. Not by our own effort alone but by His hand leading us through.

Then it asks for protection from what is visible and what is hidden because not every danger announces itself. Some of the things that harm us most are the ones we don't see coming.

Then it turns to the people we love. Our hearing. Our sight. Our hearts. Our spouses. Our children. It wraps them all in one du'aa, asking Allah to bless every part of us and everyone who belongs to us.

It ends with gratitude; asking not just for blessings but for the ability to receive them well, to recognise them, to praise Allah for them and to have them completed upon us.

This is a du'aa for a whole life. Say it for yourself and say it for the people you carry in your heart.

May Allah unite what has become distant, bring light to what has grown dark, protect what we love and complete His blessings upon us all. Ameen.

An Abandoned Sunnah Before Sleep.

The Prophet ﷺ taught us a powerful Dua before sleep that frees a person from debt and protects them from poverty, by the permission of Allah.

When in bed lie on your right side and say:
اَللّٰهُمَّ رَبَّ السَّمٰوَاتِ وَرَبَّ الأَرْضِ وَرَبَّ الْعَرْشِ الْعَظِيْمِ ، رَبَّنَا وَرَبَّ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ ، فَالِقَ الْحَبِّ وَالنَّوَىٰ ، وَمُنْزِلَ التَّوْرَاةِ وَالْإِنْجِيْلِ وَالْفُرْقَانِ ، أَعُوْذُ بِكَ مِنْ شَرِّ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ أَنْتَ آخِذٌ بِنَاصِيَتِهِ ، اَللّٰهُمَّ أَنْتَ الْأَوَّلُ فَلَيْسَ قَبْلَكَ شَيْءٌ ، وَأَنْتَ الْآخِرُ فَلَيْسَ بَعْدَكَ شَيْءٌ ، وَأَنْتَ الظَّاهِرُ فَلَيْسَ فَوْقَكَ شَيْءٌ ، وَأَنْتَ الْبَاطِنُ فَلَيْسَ دُوْنَكَ شَيْءٌ ، اِقْضِ عَنَّا الدَّيْنَ وَأَغْنِنَا مِنَ الْفَقْرِ.

O Allah, Lord of the heavens, Lord of the earth and Lord of the Magnificent Throne, our Lord and Lord of all things, Splitter of the seed and the date stone, Revealer of the Torah, the Injīl and the Criterion (Quran), I seek Your protection from the evil of every thing You hold by the forehead. You are the First and there is nothing before You. You are the Last and there is nothing after You. You are the Most High and there is nothing above You. You are the Most Near and nothing is closer than You, settle our debts for us and spare us from poverty. (Sahih Muslim: 2713)

Revive this Sunnah tonight.

“Our Lord! Grant unto us wives and offspring who will be the comfort of our eyes, and give us (the grace) to lead the righteous.”

رَبَّنَا هَبْ لَنَا مِنْ أَزْوَاجِنَا وَذُرِّيَّاتِنَا قُرَّةَ أَعْيُنٍ وَاجْعَلْنَا لِلْمُتَّقِينَ إِمَامًا

Bayyinah
A tree can’t go into ruku. A star can’t make sujood. But Allah says they do.

وَٱلنَّجْمُ وَٱلشَّجَرُ يَسْجُدَانِ
“The stars and the trees submit in prostration.” (55:6)

When you and I think of sujood, we picture a forehead on the ground. But in this ayah, Allah is showing us something deeper: sujood isn’t just a movement, it’s a state of being.

The star never veers from its place. It moves in orbit with perfect discipline. That’s its sujood. The tree rises, grows, leans and lowers when it bears fruit. That lowering is its sujood.

They don’t choose their path, but they remain in complete submission. That’s the definition of humility.

And so, without eyes or limbs or will, they surrender more perfectly than many of us who were given all three.

It’s as if Allah is saying: everything in creation knows its place, do you?

This is why the pairing is so powerful. The najm, a low plant or a star and the shajar, a tall, strong tree. One hugs the ground. The other reaches upward. One grows silently in the soil. The other stands tall for all to see.

But both know how to submit. Both reflect sujood in their own way.

That’s the lesson: there isn’t one shape for humility. It doesn’t look the same on everyone. Sometimes it’s quiet obedience. Sometimes it’s standing tall with dignity but standing where Allah placed you.

So ask yourself: in the space I’ve been given, the height or depth I’ve been assigned, am I still submitting?

That’s the real sujood.

This is from our Ramadan series where Ustadh Nouman Ali Khan is going through Surah Ar-Rahman, ayah by ayah.

The Prophet Muhammad (s) is reported to have said, "By Allah, I seek Allah's forgiveness and repent to Him more than seventy times a day,"(Bukhāri)

Ibn Abbas reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said, "Whoever increases his prayers for forgiveness, Allah will grant him relief from every worry, a way out from every hardship, and provide for him in ways he does not expect.' Source: Musnad Ahmad 2234
