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:
- A bad fate—because one wrong turn can change everything.
- A hardship that never lets go—because some trials feel endless.
- The mockery of enemies—because nothing stings like seeing those who wished you harm celebrating your pain.
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.
