Would you like to learn the dua that the Prophet Muhammad (\ufdfa) used to recite during Fajr, or the morning prayer?<\/div>\n
It was narrated by Umm Salamah that when the Prophet (\ufdfa) said the Salam [at the end of the prayer], he would recite the \u201cAllahumma Inni As’aluka Ilman Nafian\u201d dua.<\/div>\n
This is a very short dua, easy to memorize and learn. It asks Allah SWT for beneficial knowledge, good provision, and acceptable deeds.<\/div>\n
The reason this dua is so popular is that it asks Allah for much, and Allah is the best Giver of sustenance and provision.<\/div>\n
Asking Allah for beneficial knowledge is asking for wisdom. Islam does not encourage ignorance\u2014both in this life and the Hereafter, we are affected by what we know and how we spend our time. Thus, asking Allah for knowledge is highly recommended (see also the \u201cRabbi Zidni Ilma\u201d dua).<\/div>\n
It is said: \u201cKnowledge is not (acquired) through extensive learning. Rather, it is the light that God sends in the heart of whomever He wishes to guide.\u201d<\/div>\n
Another saying teaches: \u201cAllah is at the back of a servant so long as the servant is at the back of his brother, and he who treads the path in search of knowledge, Allah would make that path easy, leading to Paradise for him.\u201d<\/div>\n
The dua also asks Allah for goodly provision\u2014a broad term. What is provision? The dictionary defines it as \u201csupply with food, drink, or equipment, especially for a journey,\u201d but it can also refer to finances, wealth, and obtaining halal money.<\/div>\n
Lastly, it asks Allah for deeds that will be accepted. Allah SWT grants us opportunities in this dunya, and whether we seize them is up to us. If someone comes to us in need and we turn them away because it is not our problem or we are busy, we lose a chance to earn the rewards of helping a brother or sister.<\/div>\n
I hope you can see the beauty in this dua\u2014it carries a deep and profound message.<\/div>\n
