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.
To make you humble—so your heart stays soft, never arrogant.
To make you repentant—so you always find your way back.
This is the dua of someone who doesn’t just want to know Allah (SWT)—but to live in His presence. To be wrapped in His mercy, guided by His light, and never left to themselves.
Make this your dua. Because the greatest gift isn’t just wealth, success, or even knowledge. It’s a heart that never turns away from Him.
