The Accepted Whispers Dua Book/Wednesday

151, 163, 164, 171, 174 on [1]

(152)

O Allah, I beseech You for completeness of wudu’ (ablution) and salat, and perfection of Your pleasure (with me) and of Your forgiveness (for me).
152. Allahumma inni as aluka tamamal-wudu'i, wa tamamassala(ti), wa tamama ridwanik(a), wa tamama maghfratik. [2]

152
Allahumma	inni as aluka	tamamal-wudu'i,	wa tamamassala(ti),	wa tamama ridwanik(a),	wa tamama maghfratik.
O Allah	I beseech You	for completeness of wudu’ (ablution)	completeness of salat	and perfection of Your pleasure (with me)	and of Your forgiveness (for me).
Ya Allah	ina roƙon Ka	kammalallen awwala	da kammalallen sallah	da kammalallan annashuwar Ka da ni.	da gafarar Ka.

(153)

(153) O Allah, grant me my book of accounts in my right hand.
153. Allahumma atini kitabi biyamini.

153
Allahumma	atini	kitabi	biyamini.
O Allah	grant me	my book of accounts	in my right hand.
Ya Allah	ka miƙo/bani	littafi na	a hannun dama na.

This refers to this verse: “Then as for him who is given his book in his right hand, he will say: Lo! Read my book” (AL-Haqqah, 69:19, see also 18:49). These will be the believers who would be admitted to Paradise. On the other hand, those destined for Hell will be given their records in their left hands.

Islamic civilization emphasizes the right hand. We eat and drink with our right hand. We wear clothes and shoes beginning with the right side. We enter the masjid with our right foot first. And we pray to get our book of accounts in the Hereafter in our right hand.

(154)

(154) O Allah, wrap me in Your mercy and protect me from Your punishment.
154. Allahumma_ ghash-shini_ birahmatika wa jannibni ‘adhabak.

154
Allahumma	ghash-shini	birahmatika	wa jannibni	‘adhabak.
O Allah	wrap me	in Your mercy	and protect me	from Your punishment.

(155)

(155) O Allah, make my feet firm on the Bridge on the day that feet will be shaking.
155. Allahumma thabbit qadamayya ‘alas-sirati yawma tazillu fihil-’aqdam.

155
Allahumma	thabbit	qadamayya	‘alas-sirati	yawma	tazillu fihil-’aqdam.
O Allah	make firm	my feet	on the Bridge	on the day	feet will be shaking.

Sirat means path and the path shown by Islam is the Straight Path (as-Sirat al-Mustaqim). Sirat is also the name of the bridge that will be laid over Hell in the Hereafter. The ease with which one will be able to cross this bridge will depend upon one’s sincerity and firmness of faith and goodness of deeds. Virtuous believers will cross it easily and reach Paradise. The hypocrites will fall off from this bridge into Hell.

It has been a practice of some pious elders that they recited this du'a’ while washing their feet when performing wudu.

(156)

(156) O Allah, make us successful. <> Allahumma ja'alna muflihoon.

156
Allahumma	ja'alna	muflihoon.
O Allah	make us	successful.

This du‘a’ should also be said when hearing “hayya ‘alal-falah” in the adhan.

(157)

(157) O Allah, open our hearts with Your remembrance, complete Your blessings on us through Your Grace, and make us from amongst Your pious servants.
157. Allahummaf-tah aqfala qulabina bidhikrik(a), wa atmim ‘alayna ni’mataka min fadlik(a), waj-‘alna min ‘ibadikas-salihin.

Allahummaf-tah	aqfala

This du‘a’ should also be said at the time of the adhan.

(158)

(158) O Allah, give me the best of what You give to Your pious servants.
158. Allahumma atini afdala ma tu'ti ‘ibadakas-salihin.

158
Allahumma
O Allah

Sayyidna ‘Abdullah ibn “Abbas rA reports that a person said this as he reached the prayer row while Prophet SAW was leading. After the salat the Prophet SAW enquired who had said it and then told him: “Then, your horse will be hamstrung and you will be martyred in the path of Allah.”

(159)

(159) O Allah, make me live as a Muslim and die as a Muslim.
159. Allahumma ahyini musliman wa amitni muslima.

Dua 161 [3]

O the Forgiver, forgive me.
O the Grantor of pardons, accept my repentance.
O the Most Compassionate, have mercy on me.
O the Effacer of sins, efface my sins.
O the Clement, have pity on me.
O my Lord, enable me to be grateful for Your blessings on me.

Dua 164 [4]

(164) O Allah, my God and that of Ibrahim (Abraham), Is-baq (Isaac), Ya“qub (Jacob), and God of Jibril (Gabriel), Mikal (Michael), and Israfil (Israpheel), I beseech You to accept my duas as I am distressed, to guard me in my faith as I am hemmed in by trying circumstances, to extend Your mercy to me as I am delinquent, and to ward away poverty from me as I am destitute.

[Anas ibn Malik. “Amal al-Yawm wal-Laylah (Ibn as-Sunni) #138] Prophet Muhammad SAW said: “If after every salat a believer extends his hands and says this du‘a’, it will be a right on Allah that He not turn him back empty-handed.”
