Ramadhan Dua: Navigating Toward the Divine - Day 2

The Compass of Pleasure

Day 2 focuses on alignment. We ask to be pulled closer to what pleases God and pushed away from what causes His anger. It highlights the recitation of the Quran as the primary map for this journey.

Arabic:

اَللّـهُمَّ قَرِّبْني فيهِ اِلى مَرْضاتِكَ، وَجَنِّبْني فيهِ مِنْ سَخَطِكَ وَنَقِماتِكَ، وَوَفِّقْني فيهِ لِقِرآءَةِ آياتِكَ بِرَحْمَتِكَ يا اَرْحَمَ الرّاحِمينَ.

Transliteration:

Allahumma qarribni fihi ila mardhatik, wa jannibni fihi min sakhatika wa naqimatik, wa waffiqni fihi liqira'ati ayatik, birahmatika ya Arhamar-Rahimin.

Translation:

O Allah, on this day, take me closer towards Your pleasure, and keep me away from Your anger and punishment, grant me the opportunity to recite Your verses (of the Qur'an), by Your mercy, O the most Merciful.
