اللَّهُمَّ لَا تَجْعَلْ مُصِيبَتَنَا فِي دِينِنَا وَلَا تَجْعَلِ الدُّنْيَا أَكْبَرَ هَمِّنَا وَلَا مَبْلَغَ عِلْمِنَا
Allahumma la taj'al musibatana fi dinina wa la taj'alid-dunya akbara hammina wa la mablagha 'ilmina
O Allah, do not make our calamity in our religion, and do not make this world our greatest concern or the extent of our knowledge.
Three categories of loss, ranked by severity: (1) Loss in religion — the worst, because it follows you to the Hereafter; (2) Making dunya your biggest concern — meaning your anxiety is always about worldly things; (3) Making dunya the limit of your knowledge — knowing only worldly matters and nothing of the akhirah. Financial loss heals. Health recovers. But losing your deen is the real calamity.
