Dua for a Change – Islamic Supplications for Positive Change

Islam encourages believers to improve themselves, repent from wrongdoing and seek Allah's help in changing their circumstances. True change begins within the heart and soul.

رَبَّنَا لَا تُزِغْ قُلُوبَنَا بَعْدَ إِذْ هَدَيْتَنَا وَهَبْ لَنَا مِن لَّدُنكَ رَحْمَةً ۚ إِنَّكَ أَنتَ الْوَهَّابُ

Our Lord, do not let our hearts deviate after You have guided us and grant us mercy from Yourself. Indeed, You are the Bestower.
