ASKING FOR BOTH THE WORLDS

 

 

ASKING FOR THIS WORLD AND THE HEREAFTER

 

From Anas who said that the Prophet [ﷺ] would say this Dua’ a lot:

 

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

 

❝O Allaah our Lord give us goodness in this world and goodness in the Hereafter and save us from the punishment of The Fire.❞

 

 Al-Adab Al-Mufrad | Albaani: Isnaad Saheeh, (No. 682)

 

🔸 The Great Scholar Muhammad Bin Salih Al-Uthaymeen [رحمه الله] said:

 

❝From the most comprehensive of what you can supplicate with is what is mentioned in the Hadeeth of Anas [رضي الله عنه] that the Prophet [ﷺ] would say this a lot in his Dua’:

 

رَبَّنَا آتِنَا فِي الدُّنْيَا حَسَنَةً وَفِي الآخِرَةِ حَسَنَةً وَقِنَا عَذَابَ النَّار

 

'O our Lord give us goodness in this world and goodness in the Hereafter and save us from the punishment of The Fire.'

 

Since indeed this Dua’ is the most comprehensive of all Dua’.

 

«رَبَّنَا آتِنَا فِي الدُّنْيَا حَسَنَةً»

 

'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.

 

«وَفِي الآخِرَةِ حَسَنَةً»

 

🌟 '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 Siraat [bridge],

 

• Drinking from the fountain 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.❞
