Allāhumma lā tanzi’
minnil-eemāna kamā a’ṭaytahu

Eemān from me, as you (are the
One who) gave it.”

The most profound of that which a person
could ask of his Lord are three things:
The good pleasure of Allaah, The Mighty and Majestic.
Looking at His Noble Face.
Al-Firdous, the highest heaven.

ʿUthmān b. ʿAffān raḍiallāhu ʿanh said: The Messenger of Allāh ṣāllallāhu ʿālayhi wa sallam stated: “There is no servant who says each day in the morning and evening:
بِسْمِ اللهِ الَّذِي لاَ يَضُرُّ مَعَ اسْمِهِ شَيْءٌ فِي الْأَرْضِ
وَلاَ فِي السَّمَاءِ، وَهُوَ السَّمِيعُ العَلِيمُ
In the Name of Allāh, in Whose Name nothing can harm on the earth or in the
heavens, and He is the All-Hearing, the All-Knowing.
3 times, except that he will not
be afflicted with any harm.”2
Shaykh ‘Abd al-Razzāq al-‘Abbād ḥafthahullāh stated:
This is one of the tremendous
supplications that a Muslim should regularly mention every morning and evening
so that he may be protected – by the permission of Allāh – from being afflicted
with unexpected harm, tragedy, or something similar.3

Al
Hafiz An Nawawi رحمه الله said:
“Supplication
is a cause for repelling misfortune and the presence of mercy, just as how the
shield is a cause for repelling the weapon and water is a cause for the
emergence of plants from the ground. Therefore, just as how the shield repels the arrow such that they both struggle, such is the
case for supplication and misfortune.
Not taking a shield isn’t from the conditions of acknowledging predestination.
Allaah, the Most High, said, “They
should take precaution and carry weapons.” Allaah predestined the affair (of
being victorious) and its cause.”

Adhkār Pg. 342, Translated by Abūl Abass AbdulKabir Ibn Ibrahim At Tawusiy

The Way of Allāh is
(to bring) Ease with Difficulty
Shaikh Muhammad Khalīl Harrās said:
“It has occurred from the way of
Allāh in His creation that relief is with distress, and that ease is with
difficulty, and that hardship does not persist, and so if strength of recourse
and longing for the virtue of Allāh is combined, and beseeching and
supplication, Allāh opens up for them from His treasures of His Mercy that
which does not occur to the minds.”

Ibn Taymiyyah’s Tremendous Reply
Regarding The Disease & The Cure
All praise belongs to Allaah the Lord
of all the worlds.
Shaykhul-Islaam Ibn Taymiyyah (d. 728H) - may
Allaah be pleased with him and grant him paradise - was asked:
Question:
What is the cure for the one who has
been overtaken by a disease, and what is the best strategy employed for the one
who has been overwhelmed with Khabal (confused state of mind, mental disorder),
and what is the correct course of action to be taken for the one who has been
overcome with laziness, and what is the path to at-Tawfeeq (success), and what
is the way out for the one who has been enveloped by al-Hayrah (bewilderment
and uncertainty)?
When he wishes to turn to Allaah, he
is prevented by his desires. And if he desires to remember (his Lord), he gets
subdued (i.e. distracted) by thoughts.
Consumed by desires so at times you
will observe him confused, he is sober but yet inebriated enraptured When he
wishes to draw close to his beloved, his means become scattered and he
continues upon abandoning and ostracising
By abandoning relatives and
acquaintances - he beguiles himself (into thinking) that he will find freedom
and upon it he will gain support and help
He does not increase except in
confusion and fatigue. Is this how it is with them that they belittle the one
who appeals to be rescued and saved?
Answer:
Shaykhul-Islaam Ibn Taymiyyah (d.728H)
replied:
The cure for it is to take refuge in Allaah, the Most High, and to always have at-Taddaru’ (humility and humbleness) to Allaah, the One free from all imperfections, and to make Du‘aa (supplication). A person must learn the supplications narrated (from the Messenger of Allaah). He must strive in making supplications during the times and places wherein supplications are answered/accepted (al-Ijaabah); for example the last third of the night, the times between the Adhaan and the Iqaamah, during the Sajdah (prostration) and at the end of the Salawaat (the five daily prayers).
In addition to that (i.e. from the cure) is
al-Istighfaar (seeking forgiveness from Allaah). For indeed whoever seeks
forgiveness from Allaah and turns to Him in repentance, then Allaah will grant
him good provisions to enjoy and benefit from till an appointed term.
Furthermore, (from the cure is that)
one must adhere to reciting the daily portion of the Adhkaar (prophetic
remembrances) at the two ends of the day (i.e in the morning and the evening),
and when going to sleep. And let him be patient with what may occur to him from
the obstacles and the various distractions. For indeed he will not remain long
in that state except that Allaah will support and strengthen him with Rooh
(proofs, light and true guidance) from Himself and He will write Faith in his
heart.
Moreover, he must be diligent in
completing the obligatory from the five daily prayers - inwardly and outwardly
- since it is a pillar of the Deen.
And let his habitual practice be
(reciting): “Laa hawla wa laa quwwata illaa billaah” (there is no change and no
power except with Allaah’s aid). For indeed with (adhering to) it (one can)
bear the heavy burdens and withstand the ordeals, and by it you will attain
lofty positions (i.e. lofty ranks).
One should not get weary of supplicating (Du‘aa) and requesting. For indeed a servant‘s supplication will be answered as long as he is not impatient and hasty - and says: “I have made Du‘aa but it has not been answered.” He should know that victory comes with having as-Sabr (patience and perseverance), and that alleviation comes along with the calamity, and with every hardship there is ease.
And all praise is for Allaah the Lord of the ‘Alameen.

اللَّهُمَّ
أَصْلِحْ لِي دِينِي الَّذِي هُوَ عِصْمَةُ أَمْرِي
وَأَصْلِحْ لِي
دُنْيَايَ الَّتِي فِيهَا مَعَاشِي
وَأَصْلِحْ لِي
آخِرَتِي الَّتِي فِيهَا مَعَادِي
وَاجْعَلِ
الْحَيَاةَ زِيَادَةً لِي فِي كُلِّ خَيْرٍ
وَاجْعَلِ
الْمَوْتَ رَاحَةً لِي مِنْ كُلِّ شَرٍّ
O Allah! Rectify
my religion for me, which is the safeguard of my affairs; rectify my worldly
[affairs], wherein is my livelihood; and rectify my Afterlife to which is my
return; and make life for me [as a means of] increase in every good and make
death for me as a rest from every evil. [Saheeh Muslim Number: 2720]
This is also one of
the comprehensive supplications of the Prophet (sallal laahu alayhi wasallam).
Indeed, it gathers affairs a person asks Allaah for the rectification of one’s
religious affairs, worldly affairs and affairs related to the Afterlife. It
begins with one’s religious affairs because when one religion is rectified,
then the other affairs [i.e. one’s Dunyaa and Aakhirah] will also be
rectified.
اللَّهُمَّ
أَصْلِحْ لِي دِينِي الَّذِي هُوَ عِصْمَةُ أَمْرِي
O
Allaah! Rectify my religion for me, which is the safeguard of my affairs.
The statement: [اللَّهُمَّ أَصْلِحْ لِي دِينِي – O Allah! Rectify my religion for me]- Meaning: Asking
Allaah for the rectification of one’s religion- to be blessed with the ability
and guidance to fulfil its obligations, etiquettes and requirements in a
perfect and complete manner; blessed with the guidance and ability to adhere to
the Qur’aan and the authentic Sunnah based on the path of the
Salafus Saaleh – the Sahaabah, the Taabi’een and the righteous Imaams- in
affairs related to sound creed, worship, Dawah [i.e. the sound method of
calling to the path of Allaah] and good social behaviour in general. [الَّذِي هُوَ عِصْمَةُ أَمْرِي– which is the safeguard of my affairs]- Meaning: The
affair through which all my affairs will be protected, just as Allaah stated: [وَٱعۡتَصِمُواْ بِحَبۡلِ ٱللَّهِ
جَمِيعً۬ا وَلَا تَفَرَّقُواْۚ
– And hold fast, all of you together, to the Rope of Allah (i.e. this
Qur’an), and be not divided among yourselves]. [Surah Aal Imraan. Aayah
103]
This shows the fact
that adherence to the religion based on the sound methodology [of the Salaf]
is a means to safety for the person – [a safeguard] against the misleading
trials and against falling into deviation in creed and deeds; and that not
adhering to the religion is the reason behind ruining one’s affairs, just as
Allaah said: [وَلَا
تُطِعۡ مَنۡ أَغۡفَلۡنَا قَلۡبَهُ ۥ عَن ذِكۡرِنَا وَٱتَّبَعَ هَوَٮٰهُ
وَكَانَ أَمۡرُهُ ۥ فُرُطً۬ا
– and obey not him whose heart We have made heedless of Our Remembrance, one
who follows his own lusts and whose affair (deeds) has been lost]. [Surah
Al-Kahf. Aayah 28] [see tafseer]
وَأَصْلِحْ لِي
دُنْيَايَ الَّتِي فِيهَا مَعَاشِي
And
rectify my worldly (affairs), wherein is my livelihood.
[وَأَصْلِحْ لِي دُنْيَايَ – And rectify my worldly (affairs)]- Meaning: Asking
Allaah to rectify one’s worldly affairs- to be granted sufficiency in what one
needs and through permissible means, as well as making it a means that aids one
to obey Allaah. [الَّتِي
فِيهَا مَعَاشِي– wherein is my
livelihood]- Meaning: In my livelihood and my life.
This shows that people have a specified livelihood and a determined provision,
and they will receive all of it before they die.
وَأَصْلِحْ لِي
آخِرَتِي الَّتِي فِيهَا مَعَادِي
And
rectify my Afterlife to which is my return.
[وَأَصْلِحْ لِي آخِرَتِي – And rectify my Afterlife]- Meaning: Asking
Allaah to make one’s affairs upright in the afterlife – to receive Allaah’s
Kindness, guidance and ability to obey Him [and the Messenger]; granted a
righteous departure from this life and success through eternal bliss in
paradise. [الَّتِي فِيهَا
مَعَادِي – to which
is my return]- Meaning: My place of return and my
return to Allaah. [Allaah said]: [ لِيَجۡزِىَ ٱلَّذِينَ أَسَـٰٓـُٔواْ بِمَا عَمِلُواْ
وَيَجۡزِىَ ٱلَّذِينَ أَحۡسَنُواْ بِٱلۡحُسۡنَى-
so that He (Allaah) may requite those who do evil with that which they have
done (i.e. punish them in Hell), and reward those who do good, with what is
best (i.e. Paradise)]. [Surah An-Najm. Aayah 31]
وَاجْعَلِ
الْحَيَاةَ زِيَادَةً لِي فِي كُلِّ خَيْرٍ
And
make life for me (as a means of) increase in every good.
[وَاجْعَلِ الْحَيَاةَ زِيَادَةً لِي
فِي كُلِّ خَيْرٍ– And make life
for me (as a means of) increase in every good]- Meaning: Make
the duration of lifespan an opportunity and a means of attaining good in speech
and deeds. This shows that the duration of person’s lifespan is a motive for
increasing in righteous and good deeds.
وَاجْعَلِ
الْمَوْتَ رَاحَةً لِي مِنْ كُلِّ شَرٍّ
And
make death for me as a rest from every evil.
[وَاجْعَلِ الْمَوْتَ رَاحَةً لِي مِنْ
كُلِّ شَرٍّ– And make
death for me as a rest from every evil]- Meaning: Make
death and my departure from this worldly life a means of rest; and not trials,
tests and calamities through sinning and heedlessness.
This shows that the believer is upon complete ease and submission in desiring to meet his Lord, [desiring] to receive Allaah’s great reward and external bliss. We ask Allaah for His Bounty.

Al-Imam
An-Nawawi said:
This
day (the day of Arafah) is the best day
of the year for prayer, so it is necessary
that a person exhaust his effort
in dhikr, prayer and the recitation of the Qur’ān. And he should pray with the
various types of du’aa; he should pray for himself, his parents, his family,
his teachers, his companions, his friends, his beloveds, all those who did good
to him and the Muslims generally. And he should be careful; totally careful from being inadequate regarding all
of that. For indeed this day can not be attained again (once it is lost).

Salih Aal Shaykh (may Allah protect him):
“Leaving commanding with good and prohibiting falsehood is a reason
for non-acceptance of Du’aa. So, people make du’aa and
they are not answered and this is a great calamity since we cannot suffice away
from Allaah for a blink of an eye.”
