رَبَّنَا هَبْ لَنَا مِن لَّدُنكَ رَحْمَةً وَهَيِّئْ لَنَا مِنْ أَمْرِنَا رَشَدًا
Rabbana hab lana min ladunka rahmatan wa hayyi' lana min amrina rashada
Our Lord, grant us mercy from Yourself and prepare for us right guidance in our affair.
The du'a of the People of the Cave (Ashab al-Kahf) — young believers who fled persecution and sought refuge. They asked for two things: mercy (to protect them in their vulnerability) and rushd (right guidance in their decision to hide). For families facing difficult decisions — relocation, financial hardship, social pressure — this du'a asks Allah to give you both protection and wisdom simultaneously.
