اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ الْفِرْدَوْسَ الْأَعْلَى مِنَ الْجَنَّةِ، فَإِنَّهُ أَعْلَى الْجَنَّةِ وَأَوْسَطُهَا وَمِنْهُ تَفَجَّرُ أَنْهَارُ الْجَنَّةِ وَفَوْقَهُ عَرْشُ الرَّحْمَنِ
Allahumma inni as'alukal-Firdawsal-A'la minal-Jannah, fa innahu a'lal-Jannati wa awsatuha wa minhu tafajjaru anharul-Jannati wa fawqahu 'Arshur-Rahman
O Allah, I ask You for Al-Firdaws, the highest level of Paradise, for it is the highest of Paradise, its center, and from it the rivers of Paradise spring forth, and above it is the Throne of the Most Merciful.
The Prophet ﷺ said: "When you ask Allah for Paradise, ask Him for Al-Firdaws." Then he described it with four attributes: the highest (a'la — no level above it), the center (awsat — the best and most central), the source of all rivers (tafajjaru anharul-Jannah — every river in Jannah springs from it), and directly beneath the Throne of Allah. Don't settle for the minimum — ask for the penthouse. The Prophet ﷺ explicitly told you to aim for the top floor. After prayer, when your connection with Allah is strongest, make the biggest request you can: the best room in the best place in existence.
