Dua for Certainty: Islamic Supplication for Yaqeen and Faith

Certainty (Yaqeen) is the highest level of faith, where a believer's heart is completely at rest with the truth of Islam. In a world of changing ideologies, asking Allah for certainty is essential to remain firm. This Quranic dua is the prayer of those deeply rooted in knowledge, asking Allah to never let their hearts slip after being guided.

رَبَّنَا لَا تُزِغْ قُلُوبَنَا بَعْدَ إِذْ هَدَيْتَنَا وَهَبْ لَنَا مِنْ لَدُنكَ رَحْمَةً إِنَّكَ أَنتَ الْوَهَّابُ

Transliteration

Rabbana la tuzigh qulubana ba'da idh hadaytana wa hab lana mil-ladunka rahmatan innaka antal-wahhab.

Translation

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