Fitnah refers to trials, temptations, or situations that threaten one's faith and spiritual wellbeing. This Quranic supplication is essential for maintaining a firm heart in confusing times.
رَبَّنَا لَا تُزِغْ قُلُوبَنَا بَعْدَ إِذْ هَدَيْتَنَا وَهَبْ لَنَا مِن لَّدُنكَ رَحْمَةً ۚ إِنَّكَ أَنتَ الْوَهَّابُ
Rabbana la tuzigh qulubana ba'da idh hadaytana wa hab lana mil-ladunka rahmah, innaka Antal-Wahhab.
Our Lord, let not our hearts deviate after You have guided us and grant us from Yourself mercy. Indeed, You are the Bestower.
