The Most Comprehensive Dua: A Prayer for Goodness in This World and the Next

Unlock the Power of the Prophet’s Most Frequent Supplication: A Dua for Goodness in Both Worlds

THE MOST COMPREHENSIVE DU’A

Anas (may ALLĀH be pleased with him) said, “The most frequent supplication of the Prophet (ﷺ) was,

اللَّهُمَّ آتِنَا فِي الدُّنْيَا حَسَنَةً، وَفِي الْآخِرَةِ حَسَنَةً، وَقِنَا عَذَابَ النَّارِ

Allāhumma ātina fi’d-dunya hasanah wa fi’l-ākhirati hasanah wa qinā adhāb an-nār

“O ALLĀH, give us goodness in this world and goodness in the Hereafter and save us from the punishment of the Fire.” {Al-Adab Al-Mufrad #682}

Shaykh Muhammad Bin Sāliḥ al-Uthaymin (may ALLĀH have mercy on him) said:

“From the most comprehensive of what you can supplicate with is what is mentioned in the hadīth of Anas that the Prophet (ﷺ) would say this a lot in his Dua’: “O ALLĀH give us goodness in this world and goodness in the Hereafter and save us from the punishment of the Fire.”

Since indeed this Du’a is the most comprehensive of all Du’a 

“O our Lord give us goodness in this world”

This includes all the goodness of the Duniya:

– From having a righteous wife,

– Comfortable transport,

– Tranquil home,

– As well as other matters.

“and goodness in the Hereafter”

This includes all the goodness of the Hereafter:

– From an easy reckoning,

– Being given your record of deeds in the right hand,

– Easily passing over the Sirāt (bridge),

– Drinking from the lake of the Messenger [ﷺ],

– Entry into Paradise,

– As well as other matters from the goodness of the Hereafter.

So this Dua is from the most comprehensive of supplications rather it is the most comprehensive because it is inclusive and complete.”

{Sharh Riyādhus-Saliḥeen || 6/16}
