The Prophet (saw) used to offer the following supplication to Allah:
<b><i>"Oh Allah, by Thy knowledge of the unseen and Thy power to create, grant me life as long as you know life to be best for me, and take me when you know death to be best for me. </i></b>
Oh Allah, I ask you for fear and love of you, both within my secret heart and openly.
I ask for the word of truth in pleasure and anger; I ask for moderation both in poverty and riches; I ask for felicity which does not pass away.
I ask for comfort which is not cut off.
I ask for satisfaction with what is decreed.
I ask for a pleasant life after death. I ask for the pleasure of looking at Thy face, and longing to meet you in a state in which distress does not cause harm or testing lead astray.
Oh Allah, beautify us with the adornment of faith, and make us among those who are rightly guided."
I just wanted to share this beautiful dua' with you all.
