Halal income is a pillar of Islamic ethics and a condition for the acceptance of one's prayers. The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ taught a comprehensive morning supplication to seek lawful and blessed earnings.
اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ عِلْمًا نَافِعًا، وَرِزْقًا طَيِّبًا، وَعَمَلًا مُتَقَبَّلًا
Allahumma inni as'aluka 'ilman nafi'an, wa rizqan tayyiban, wa 'amalan mutaqabbalan.
O Allah, I ask You for beneficial knowledge, wholesome provision, and accepted deeds.
Hadith — Sunan Ibn Majah — Hadith 925
