As part of the daily after Fajr program regarding the life of a Muslim, the following dua is one of the most comprehensive duas.
Sayyiduna Abu Umamah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Messenger of Allah صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم made many supplications which we did not memorize. We said to him: “O Messenger of Allah! صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم You have made many supplications of which we do not remember anything.”
The Messenger of Allah صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم said, “Should I not show you such a comprehensive dua that includes all duas?” Say,
للهم إني أسألك من خير ما سألك منه نبيك محمدٌ، صلى الله عليه وسلم؛ وأعوذ بك من شر ما
استعاذ منه نبيك محمدٌ، صلى الله عليه وسلم، وأنت المستعان، وعليك البلاغ؛ ولا حول ولا قوة إلا
بالله
Transliteration: Allahumma innin asaluka min khairi ma sa alaka minhu nabiyyuka Muhammadun sallAllahu alaihi wasallam, wa aoozubika min sharri mastaza minhu nabiyyuka Muhammadun sallallahualaihi wasallam wa antal musta an wa alaikul balagh walahawla walaquwwata illa billah.
Translation: O Allah, I beg to You the good which Your Prophet Muhammad صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم begged of You; and I seek refuge in You from the evil where from Your Prophet Muhammad صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم sought refuge. You are the One from Whom help is sought and Your is the responsibility to communicate (the truth). There is no power or strength except with Allah the Exalted, the Great.
[At-Tirmidhi]
Commentary:
For those who do not remember many prayers, or cannot remember them, this is the best supplication to make. This shows part of Allah’s Mercy upon his slaves and part of the easiness of practising Islam.
