Du`ā’ of Imām Abū āmid al-Ghazālī

From “ayyuhā’l walad al-muib” “Dear Beloved Son”
[to be read after every prayer]

O Allāh, I ask of You complete blessings, lasting protection from sin, comprehensive mercy, acquisition of well-bring [in this world
and the next], the best provision, the happiest life, the most complete favour, the most generous blessing, the sweetest grace and the
closest gentleness.

Allāhumma innī as’aluka min an-na`mati tamāmahā, wa min al-`imati dawāmahā, wa min ar-ramati shumūlahā, wa min al-`āfiyati
uūlahā, wa min al-`aishi arghadahu, wa min al-`umuri as`adahu, wa min al’isāni atammahu, wa min al ‘in`āmi a`ammahu, wa min
al-fali a`dhabahu, wa min al-lufi aqrabahu.

O Allāh, be for us and not against us. O Allāh, seal our lives with happiness and good fortune, realise our aspirations accompanied
with further increase. Combine our mornings and evenings with safety and make Your compassion our return and our last resort and
pour the best of Your forgiveness over our sins and favour us with the reform of our defects. Make piety our provision and grant us
interpretative judgement in Your religion, and make us depend on You and have confidence only in You.

Allāhumma kun lanā wa lā takun `alaynā, Allāhumm-akhtim bis-sa`ādati ājālanā, wa aqqiq biz-zayādati āmālanā, w’aqrin bil-`āfīti
ghuduwwanā w’āālanā, w’aj`al ilā ramatika maīranā wa mālanā, w’abub sijāla `afwika `alā dhunūbinā, wa munna `alaynā bi ‘ilāi
`uyūbinā, w’aj`alit-taqwā zādanā, wa fi dīnik’ajtihādanā, wa `alayka tawakkulanā wa `timādanā.

O Allāh, make us firm on the path of steadfastness, and safeguard us in this world from matters that will bring shame on the Day of
Judgment, and lighten for us the burden of our sins, and grant us lives of the righteous and protect us from the evil of the evil ones.
Save our necks and the necks of our fathers, mothers, brothers and sisters from the fire of Hell by your compassion, O Most Powerful
One, Most Forgiving, Most Generous, Concealing of our faults; O You, Most Knowledgeable, Most Overwhelming, O Allāh! O Allāh!
O Allāh! By Your Mercy, O Most Merciful of the merciful, O First before the first, Last after the lasts, O Possessor of Strength,
Everlasting, Compassionate to the destitute, Most Compassionate to those who are compassionate. There is no god but You, glory be
to You, verily I am of the wrongdoers. And may Allāh bless our Prophet Mu ammad, his family and all his Followers and
Companions. All praise belongs to Allāh, the Lord of the worlds.
