When Allah gives, the right response is shukr — gratitude with words and with actions. These supplications anchor gratitude in the moment so it doesn't slip into entitlement.
Rabbana atina fi-d-dunya hasanah, wa fi-l-akhirati hasanah, wa qina 'adhaba-n-nar.
“Our Lord, give us in this world good and in the Hereafter good, and protect us from the punishment of the Fire.”
Anas ﷺ said this was the dua the Prophet ﷺ recited most often. Covers this life, the next, and protection in between.
Rabbi awzi'ni an ashkura ni'mataka-llati an'amta 'alayya wa 'ala walidayy, wa an a'mala salihan tardahu, wa aslih li fi dhurriyyati, inni tubtu ilayka wa inni mina-l-muslimin.
“My Lord, inspire me to be grateful for the favour You have bestowed on me and on my parents, and to do righteousness of which You approve, and make righteous for me my offspring. Indeed, I have turned to You, and I am among the Muslims.”
The dua of one reaching maturity (forty). A complete prayer for gratitude, parents, good deeds, and children who will carry the good forward.
Asbahna wa asbaha-l-mulku lillah, wa-l-hamdu lillah, la ilaha illa Allah wahdahu la sharika lah, lahu-l-mulku wa lahu-l-hamd, wa Huwa 'ala kulli shay'in Qadir. Rabbi as'aluka khayra ma fi hadha-l-yawm wa khayra ma ba'dah, wa a'udhu bika min sharri ma fi hadha-l-yawm wa sharri ma ba'dah. Rabbi a'udhu bika mina-l-kasali wa su'i-l-kibar. Rabbi a'udhu bika min 'adhabin fi-n-nar wa 'adhabin fi-l-qabr.
“We have entered the morning, and the dominion belongs to Allah. Praise is for Allah. There is no god but Allah alone, with no partner. His is the dominion and His is the praise, and He is able to do all things. My Lord, I ask You for the good of this day and the good of what comes after it, and I seek refuge in You from the evil of this day and the evil of what comes after it. My Lord, I seek refuge in You from laziness and the wretchedness of old age. My Lord, I seek refuge in You from punishment in the Fire and punishment in the grave.”
Radhitu billahi Rabban, wa bil-Islami dinan, wa bi-Muhammadin ﷺ nabiyyan.
“I am content with Allah as my Lord, with Islam as my religion, and with Muhammad ﷺ as my prophet.”
Whoever says this three times in the morning and three times in the evening, Allah has promised to please him on the Day of Resurrection.
Subhanallahi wa bihamdih.
“Glory be to Allah, and all praise is His.”
Whoever says this a hundred times a day, their sins will be forgiven even if they were like the foam of the sea.
Amsayna wa amsa-l-mulku lillah, wa-l-hamdu lillah, la ilaha illa Allah wahdahu la sharika lah, lahu-l-mulku wa lahu-l-hamd, wa Huwa 'ala kulli shay'in Qadir. Rabbi as'aluka khayra ma fi hadhihi-l-laylati wa khayra ma ba'daha, wa a'udhu bika min sharri ma fi hadhihi-l-laylati wa sharri ma ba'daha. Rabbi a'udhu bika mina-l-kasali wa su'i-l-kibar. Rabbi a'udhu bika min 'adhabin fi-n-nar wa 'adhabin fi-l-qabr.
“We have entered the evening, and the dominion belongs to Allah. Praise is for Allah. There is no god but Allah alone, with no partner. His is the dominion and His is the praise, and He is able to do all things. My Lord, I ask You for the good of this night and the good of what comes after it, and I seek refuge in You from the evil of this night and the evil of what comes after it. My Lord, I seek refuge in You from laziness and the wretchedness of old age. My Lord, I seek refuge in You from punishment in the Fire and punishment in the grave.”
Radhitu billahi Rabban, wa bil-Islami dinan, wa bi-Muhammadin ﷺ nabiyyan.
“I am content with Allah as my Lord, with Islam as my religion, and with Muhammad ﷺ as my prophet.”
Whoever says this three times in the morning and three times in the evening, Allah has promised to please him on the Day of Resurrection.

The Prophet ﷺ corrected those who attributed the rain to the stars, we name the giver, not the channel.
