Dua Of The Week: A Prayer To Protect Our Hearts, Unite Our Ranks, And Use Us For Good

The Prophet Muhammad (صلى الله عليه وسلم) used to teach his companions to say:

اللَّهُمَّ أَلِّفْ بَيْنَ قُلُوبِنَا وَأَصْلِحْ ذَاتَ بَيْنِنَا وَاهْدِنَا سُبُلَ السَّلاَمِ وَنَجِّنَا مِنَ الظُّلُمَاتِ إِلَى النُّورِ وَجَنِّبْنَا الْفَوَاحِشَ مَا ظَهَرَ مِنْهَا وَمَا بَطَنَ وَبَارِكْ لَنَا فِي أَسْمَاعِنَا وَأَبْصَارِنَا وَقُلُوبِنَا وَأَزْوَاجِنَا وَذُرِّيَّاتِنَا وَتُبْ عَلَيْنَا إِنَّكَ أَنْتَ التَّوَّابُ الرَّحِيمُ وَاجْعَلْنَا شَاكِرِينَ لِنِعْمَتِكَ مُثْنِينَ بِهَا قَابِلِيهَا وَأَتِمَّهَا عَلَيْنَا

“O Allah, unite our hearts, mend our ties, guide us to the pathways of peace, deliver us from darknesses to light, save us from hidden and apparent indecencies, and bless our ears, our eyes, our hearts, our spouses, our progenies, and accept our repentance as you are the one who guides to repentance and accepts it, the Most Merciful. Make us grateful for your favour upon us by allowing us to praise you for it as we accept it, and perfect it for us.” (Abu Dawud 969)
