Ramadhan Dua: The Seeking Soul - Day 24

Aligning Human Desire with the Divine

The Harmonised Will

Here, we ask for "ma yurdhika"—that which pleases You. It is a prayer for the "Tawfiq" (opportunity) to be in a constant state of obedience, where our natural inclinations start to match what God loves.

Arabic:

اَللّـهُمَّ اِنّي اَسْأَلُكَ فيهِ ما يُرْضيكَ، وَاَعُوذُ بِكَ مِمّا يُؤْذيكَ، وَاَسْأَلُكَ التَّوْفيقَ فيهِ لاَِنْ اُطيعَكَ وَلا اَعْصِيَكَ، يا جَوادَ السّائِلينَ.

Transliteration:

Allahumma inni as'aluka fihi ma yurdhik, wa a'udhu bika mimma yu'dhik, wa as'alukat-tawfiqa fihi li-an uti'aka wa la a'siyak, ya Jawadas-sa'ilin.

Translation:

O Allah, on this day, I ask You for what pleases You, and I seek refuge in You from what displeases You, I ask You for the opportunity to obey You and not disobey You, O the Generous to those who ask.
