The Love of Virtue
This dua asks for a fundamental change in our "appetite." We ask Allah to make goodness (Ihsan) beloved to our hearts and to make corruption and disobedience naturally distasteful to us. It is about aligning our will with the Divine will.
Arabic:
اَللّـهُمَّ حَبِّبْ اِلَيَّ فيهِ الاِْحْسانَ، وَكَرِّهْ اِلَيَّ فيهِ الْفُسُوقَ وَالْعِصْيانَ، وَحَرِّمْ عَلَيَّ فيهِ السَّخَطَ وَالنّيرانَ بِعَوْنِكَ يا غِياثَ الْمُسْتَغيثينَ.
Transliteration:
Allahumma habbib ilayya fihil-ihsan, wa karrih ilayya fihil-fusuqa wal-'isyan, wa harrim 'alayya fihis-sakhata wan-niran, bi'awnika ya Ghiyathal-mustaghithin.
Translation:
O Allah, on this day, make me love goodness, and dislike corruption and disobedience, bar me from anger and the fire, by Your help, O the helper of those who seek help.
