Today’s duʿā • Qur’an 2:201

A short duʿā worth keeping close.

رَبَّنَا آتِنَا فِي الدُّنْيَا حَسَنَةً وَفِي الْآخِرَةِ حَسَنَةً وَقِنَا عَذَابَ النَّارِ

Rabbanā ātinā fid-dunyā ḥasanatan wa fil-ākhirati ḥasanatan wa qinā ʿadhāban-nār.

Our Lord, grant us good in this world and good in the Hereafter, and protect us from the punishment of the Fire.
