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.
