The Dua That Erases a Lifetime of Mistakes: Because You can have a Clean Slate

اللَّهُمَّ إِنَّكَ عَفُوٌّ تُحِبُّ الْعَفْوَ فَاعْفُ عَنِّي “O Allah, You are Forgiving and love forgiveness, so forgive me.” [Ibn Majah – 3850, Tirmidhi – 3513, Sahih by Al-Albani] There are duas for specific needs like wealth, guidance, strength. And then there’s this dua—a plea for something that matters more than anything else: to stand before Allah with a clean slate. Aisha (RA) once asked the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ: “O Messenger of Allah, if I find Laylatul Qadr, what should I say?” And he ﷺ didn’t give her a long list of requests. He gave her this one line. Because what is the point of life, if not to be forgiven? Al-‘Afuww (The Most Pardoning) is a name of Allah (SWT) that goes beyond mere forgiveness. It means to completely erase. Not just to forgive your sins, but to make them as if they never happened. No trace. No consequence. No reminder on the Day of Judgment. Think of every mistake, every regret, every sin whispered in the dark—one sincere recitation of this dua, and it can all be wiped away. And the best part? Allah (SWT) loves to forgive. He isn’t reluctant. He doesn’t forgive begrudgingly. He loves to pardon, more than we even love to be pardoned. So make this your dua. Whisper it in sujood. Repeat it in the last ten nights. Say it with the certainty that you are calling upon the One who wants to forgive you. Because the ones whom Allah (SWT) erases the

Ramadan Around the World: Iftar Delights (Part 2): #OneUmmah

Syria: Soft, slightly sweet Maarouk bread pairs perfectly with a cup of tea, while crunchy kibbeh and fresh fattoush are also enjoyed. Saudi Arabia: Kabsa, a spiced rice dish with meat is a staple on iftar tables. Egypt: Sweet Khchaf kicks off the feast, but Qatayef—fluffy, stuffed pancakes are the real Ramadan MVP. Afghanistan: A typical iftar includes dates, shorwa (soup), kebabs, bolani (stuffed flatbread), and kabuli palaw. Uzbekistan: Fresh from the tandoor, Patır bread is golden, crispy, and buttery enjoyed with fragrant plov and slow-cooked lamb stew. Morocco: Harira, a rich, comforting soup, warms you up before diving into honey-soaked chebakia and crispy briouats. Lebanon: Fattoush, a fresh salad combining mixed greens, tomatoes, cucumbers, and crispy bread, provides a refreshing start to the iftar meal. Libya: Bazin, an unleavened barley flour dish served with a vegetable-rich stew is enjoyed. Indonesia: Kue lapis, a vibrant layered steamed cake, adds a sweet touch to the table. Philippines: Arroz caldo, a warm chicken and rice porridge seasoned with ginger and garlic is an iftar-favourite. East Africa: Spiced sambusas (like samosas but with an East African twist) steal the spotlight, alongside crunchy bajiya and a chilled glass of tangy tamarind juice.

The Dua to Hold Onto Your Blessings: Because What You Have Today Can Be Gone Tomorrow

اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ زَوَالِ نِعْمَتِكَ وَتَحَوُّلِ عَافِيَتِكَ وَفُجَاءَةِ نِقْمَتِكَ وَجَمِيعِ سَخَطِكَ “O Allah, I seek refuge in You from the removal of Your blessings, the change of the health You granted, Your sudden punishment, and all that displeases You.” [Muslim – 4/2079] Everything you have right now—your health, your peace, your loved ones, your ease, it’s not guaranteed. How many people woke up one morning thinking their lives were stable, only for everything to change by nightfall? How many had wealth, strength, and security, only to watch it slip through their fingers in an instant? This is why the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ made this powerful dua, seeking protection from four things: This dua is a reminder: what we have is not because we deserve it, it’s because Allah (SWT) is keeping it in place. And if He wills, it can be taken away. So hold onto your blessings through gratitude. Protect them through obedience. Secure them through this dua. Because the greatest disaster isn’t losing wealth, health, or comfort—it’s losing Allah (SWT)’s favor. And those who seek His refuge? They are never left unprotected. So make this your dua. After every prayer. Every morning. Every night. Because the ones whom Allah (SWT) helps in these three things? They have already won.

The Dua of Not Asking for the Wrong Thing: Because Not Every Desire Leads to Good

رَبِّ أَعُوذُ بِكَ أَنْ أَسْأَلَكَ مَا لَيْسَ لِي بِهِ عِلْمٌ ۚ وَإِلَّا تَغْفِرْ لِي وَتَرْحَمْنِي أَكُنْ مِنَ الْخَاسِرِينَ “My Lord, I seek refuge in You from asking for that which I have no knowledge. And unless You forgive me and have mercy upon me, I will be among the losers.” [Quran 11:47] It was a moment of heartbreak. The waves had swallowed everything. The towering flood carried away homes, land—people. And among them was his son. Prophet Nuh (AS) had spent centuries calling his people. Patiently. Tirelessly. But when the punishment came, when he saw his own son among the drowning, his heart trembled. He called out, pleading for him. “My Lord, my son is of my family, and Your promise is true…” [Quran 11:45] But Allah (SWT)’s response was clear: “O Nuh, he is not of your family. Indeed, he was of unrighteous conduct.” [Quran 11:46] And in that moment, Prophet Nuh (AS) realised—not everything we love is good for us. Not everything we desire is part of Allah (SWT)’s plan. So he immediately turned back to his Lord, making this dua of humility: “My Lord, I seek refuge in You from asking for that which I have no knowledge. And unless You forgive me and have mercy upon me, I will be among the losers.” This is the dua of surrender. Of realising that we don’t always know what’s best. How often do we beg for things—certain they will bring us happiness—only to realise later they were

The Dua for Worshipping Well: Because True Success Is Staying Connected to Allah (SWT)

اللهم أعني على ذكرك، وشكرك، وحسن عبادتك‏ “O Allah, help me remember You, to be grateful to You, and to worship You in an excellent manner.” [Abu Dawud – 1522, Sahih by Al-Albani] One day, the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ turned to his closest companion, Muadh ibn Jabal (RA), and said: “O Mu’adh, by Allah, I love you!” Then he gave him a gift—this dua. He told him: “Do not forget to say this after every prayer.” (Abu Dawud) This isn’t just a dua. It’s a roadmap for a life that earns Allah (SWT)’s love. Because what is success, if not a heart that remembers Him, a soul that is grateful, and worship that is done with sincerity? Notice how the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ taught this as something to ask for. Because no one can achieve these things on their own. Even remembrance of Allah (SWT) is a gift from Allah (SWT). Even the ability to be grateful is a blessing He places in the heart. Even worship, no matter how sincere, is incomplete without His help. That’s why this dua is essential. It’s an admission that we can’t do it alone. So make this your dua. After every prayer. Every morning. Every night. Because the ones whom Allah (SWT) helps in these three things? They have already won.

Title: The Dua That Decides Everything: Because Nothing Matters More Than How Your Story Ends

اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ رِضَاكَ وَالْجَنَّةَ وَأَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ سَخَطِكَ وَالنَّارِ “O Allah, I ask You for Your pleasure and Jannah, and I seek refuge in You from Your displeasure and the Fire.” [Muslim – 2727] Imagine this—standing before Allah (SWT) on the Last Day. The sky is torn apart. The mountains have crumbled. The people you once knew are either running towards Jannah or collapsing in terror. And you? You’re waiting for one thing: What will He say about you? Will you hear, “My servant, I am pleased with you.”? Will your name be called among those who enter Jannah without reckoning? Will your heart finally feel the peace it spent a lifetime searching for? Or—will your eyes search for mercy and find the doors closed? This is the dua that decides everything. Because if Allah (SWT) is pleased with you, you have everything—love, security, forgiveness, a home where the rivers flow and sorrow doesn’t exist. And if He is displeased… what else is left? This is the dua that makes life simple. Strip away every worldly goal, every desire, every fear—what remains? His pleasure or His anger. Jannah or the Fire. Even the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ, the most beloved to Allah (SWT), never stopped seeking His pleasure. He ﷺ would pray: “O Allah, I seek refuge in Your pleasure from Your anger, in Your forgiveness from Your punishment.” (Sahih Muslim 486) If he still asked, where do we stand? So make this your dua. Not just with words,

The Dua for Limitless Provision! Because When Allah (SWT) Gives, He Gives Without Measure

اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ مِنْ فَضْلِكَ “O Allah, I ask You from Your bounty.” [Sahih Muslim – 1899] This dua is short—but its meaning is vast. The scholars explain that fadl (فضل) is Allah (SWT)’s generosity in its purest form. It is every blessing He gives not because we deserve it, but because He is Al-Kareem, The Most Generous. And rizq (provision)? It is a part of His fadl. Every bite of food. Every drop of water. Every opportunity, success, and comfort—we only have them because of His favor. But fadl is more than just sustenance. It’s abundance. It’s Allah (SWT) giving more than what we need, more than what we expect, more than what we could ever repay. Rizq is having food on the table. Fadl is when that food is nourishing, shared, and filled with barakah. Rizq is earning a living. Fadl is earning in a way that brings peace, purpose, and protection from harm. Rizq is gaining knowledge. Fadl is when that knowledge turns into wisdom, guiding you to the truth. This dua is an open-ended request—a recognition that we are forever in need of Allah (SWT)’s kindness, in ways we don’t even realize. And that’s why there are no limits to what you can ask for. Wealth, health, guidance, success, love, peace—everything falls under Allah (SWT)’s fadl. So ask, and ask big. Because when you turn to Allah (SWT) with sincerity, He doesn’t just provide—He gives in ways that change your life.

The Dua for Strength in Uncertainty: Because True Strength Is Trusting Allah (SWT)—No Matter What

اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ الرِّضَا وَالْيَقِينِ وَأَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ سُوءِ الْقَضَاءِ وَدَرَكِ الشَّقَاءِ وَشَمَاتَةِ الْأَعْدَاءِ “O Allah, I ask You for contentment and certainty, and I seek refuge in You from a bad fate, hardship, and the rejoicing of enemies over my misfortune.” [Bukhari – 6616, Muslim – 2707] Some wounds come from life’s struggles. Others come from the way we see them. This dua is for the heart that wavers in the face of hardship. For the mind that drowns in “what ifs.” For the soul that fears the unknown, wondering—Will things ever be okay? It asks for rida—a contentment so deep that nothing in this world can shake it. A heart that doesn’t just accept what Allah (SWT) decrees, but finds peace in it. It asks for yaqeen—a certainty so firm that no trial, no doubt, no delay makes you question Him. A faith that doesn’t waver when life doesn’t go as planned. And it seeks protection from: Make this your dua. Ask for a heart that surrenders to Allah (SWT) before life forces you to. Because the ones who trust Him? They find peace even when the world is chaotic.And the ones who rely on Him? They never lose.

Al-Lateef (The Subtle and Kind) #CloserToAllah

Every time we think of Al-Lateef, it’s one of the names of Allah (SWT) that truly hits differently. It carries a sense of subtlety and tells us how Allah (SWT) is aware of even the smallest details of our lives, including our tiniest battles. Let’s understand this with an example.When you look at Surah Yusuf, the life of Prophet Yusuf (AS) unfolds as one problem after another, after another. And you would think, SubhanAllah, what is happening here? Even when Prophet Yusuf (AS) told the prisoner, “Mention me to your king,” the man completely forgot. As a result, Yusuf (AS) remained in prison for years. But if the man had remembered and mentioned him at that time, perhaps the king wouldn’t have needed him yet. The king required his wisdom at a very particular moment. And if you follow the entire story, you’ll see how divine wisdom unfolds in a deeply intricate manner.Allah (SWT) has designed our lives in a similar manner. Every single event—every hardship, every joy, every delay, every closed door, it is all meticulously planned down to the finest detail. We just need to trust Him.Think of a friendship that fell apart, only for you to realise later that it saved you from deeper pain. Or a rejection that led you to an opportunity far greater than what you originally desired. Those moments weren’t random, Al-Lateef was looking out for you in ways you couldn’t see at the time.

The Dua for a Heart That Never Leaves Allah (SWT)! Because True Success Is Staying Close to Him

اللَّهُمَّ اجْعَلْنِي لَكَ شَكَّارًا لَكَ ذَكَّارًا لَكَ رَهَّابًا لَكَ مُطَوِّعًا لَكَ مُخْبِتًا إِلَيْكَ أَوَّاهًا مُنِيبًا “O Allah, make me one who is greatly thankful to You, one who remembers You often, one who fears You, one who obeys You, one who humbles himself to You, one who constantly turns to You.” [Tirmidhi – 2849, Sahih by Al-Albani] Some people chase wealth. Others chase status. But the ones who truly win? They chase Allah (SWT). This dua isn’t about asking for the temporary. It’s about asking for a heart that belongs to Him. A heart that is deeply grateful, that finds comfort in His remembrance, that fears Him “O Allah, make me one who is greatly thankful to You, one who remembers You often, one who fears You, one who obeys You, one who humbles himself to You, one who constantly turns to You.” [Sunan At-Tirmidhi 2849, Sahih by Al-Albani] Because the reality is—life will pull you in every direction. Distractions will steal your focus. Desires will cloud your judgment. And if you’re not careful, the heart that was once alive with faith can slowly grow numb. That’s why this dua matters. It’s asking Allah (SWT) to root you so deeply in Him that no storm can shake you. To make you thankful—so you never take His blessings for granted. To make you mindful—so He’s never far from your thoughts. To make you fearful—so you never fall into heedlessness. To make you obedient—so you follow Him, even when it’s hard.

Ramadan in Occupied Kashmir—Where Beauty Meets Sorrow. #OneUmmah

A knock on the door could mean a raid. A loud noise in the night could mean another family is left without a loved one. A ringing phone could mean news of an arrest, a beating, or worse. Such is the case for our brothers and sisters in occupied Kashmir. A land so beautiful yet the valleys are tainted in horrors of uncertainty. Because beauty, it does not bring peace when the souls are restless. Every Ramadan, masjids are closely monitored, imams are restricted, and any religious gathering is seen as an act of defiance. One Kashmiri recalls, “We pray with the awareness that at any moment, our masjid doors could be forced open, and soldiers could march in. Yet, we still pray.” Internet blackouts isolate them further, cutting them off from the world. Economic hardship deepens even more during Ramadan. Markets are shut down and curfews are imposed without warning. Unemployment runs high, leaving many parents unable to buy their children new clothes for Eid. Talk about Kashmiri children? They wake up for suhoor to the sound of military patrols instead of the call to prayer. They ask why their fathers have been taken away, why they must break their fasts in darkness during an electricity blackout, why their schools are shut down again. The mountains stand firm, but the hearts of those who live beneath them carry burdens heavier than stone. The rivers shimmer under the moonlight, but the droplets reflect the cries of grieving mothers. The
