The Messenger of Allah (Allah bless him and give him peace) used to say,
“O Allah, I ask You for guidance, piety, dignified restraint, and freedom from need.
(Allahumma inni as’aluka’l huda wa’t tuqa wa’l `afafa wa’l ghina)” [Sahih Muslim] (See also: Prophetic Supplication for Guidance, Piety, Restraint, and Freedom from Need Prophetic Example in Our Daily Relations) [1]
(51) O Allah, I beg You for guidance, piety, chastity, and contentment
Making this du‘a’ often, with full understanding, may also be a strong antidote to the hedonistic[3] pop culture[4], which promotes the exactly opposite values. This du‘a’ implies that piety and chastity[5] are linked with contentment and that all three require Divine guidance.
