Walking to the masjid: a du'a for light
O Allah, place light in my heart, light on my tongue, light in my hearing and light in my sight; light above me and light below me, light on my right and light on my left, light in front of me and light behind me. Place light in my soul, make light great for me, magnify light for me, grant me light and make me light. O Allah, give me light, and place light in my sinews, light in my flesh, light in my blood, light in my hair and light in my skin.
The Prophet ﷺ was heard saying this as he went out to the prayer. Follow any timing or count stated in the cited narration; otherwise it may be used as a general personal du'a.
