Ask Allah for a Lasting Faith

Bismillahir Rahmanir Rahim
In the name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful


Ask Allah for a Lasting Faith

Mu’âwiyah b. Qurrah reports that Abû Al-Dardâ` used to say, 

“We ask Allâh for a lasting faith (îmân), true certainty and beneficial knowledge.” 

Mu’âwiyah b. Qurrah then said, “So this indicates that there is a type of faith that does not last, and a type of certainty that is not true, and a type of knowledge that is not beneficial.”

Ibn Battah, Al-Ibânah Al-Kubrâ Vol. 2 p498.


Note
The supplication mentioned above is as follows in Arabic:
Supplication reported from Abu Al-Darda about asking Allah for 
lasting faith, ture certainty and beneficial knowledge.

Their Land is ONE, their War is ONE, their Peace is ONE,  
Their Honour is ONE and their Trust is ONE."
