Du’a/Supplication for Monday:

“Oh Allah, instruct me in the evidence of faith at the time of death.” (Abu Hurayrah. Kanz al-’Ummal #3286)

Commentary:

This is another important du’a for breathing our last in a state of iman/belief. It is the overriding concern of a believer that he or she should die in  a state of belief, for otherwise a lifetime of good deeds may come to nothing. Therefore protecting our faith is a lifelong struggle. The hadith that teaches this du’a sheds further light on the important of this matter. “None of you should say, ‘Oh Allah, instruct me in my evidence at the time of death’, as the non-believer is alos instructed in his evidence. Rather you should say, “Oh Allah! Instruct me in the evidence of faith at the time of death.’”

Du’a/Supplication for Sunday:

“Oh Allah, protect me from the evil of myself and give me the determination to do what is most right in my affairs.” (Imran ibn Husayn. Musnad Ahmad #19141)

Commentary:

There are two major sources of corruption that lead one astray. One is external and the other is internal. The external is the Shaytan and his followers among the jinn and the humans. The internal is our own ego and our lusts and desires. We should seek Allah(swt)’s protection against both. This du’a is for the latter.

Du’a for Wednesday:

“Oh Allah, grant me my book of account in my right hand.” (Ali ibn Abi Talib. Kanz al-’Ummal #26692)

Commentary:

This refers to this verse of the Qur’an: “Then as for him who will be given his Record in his right hand will say: “Take, read my Record!” (Qur’an, Surah Al-Haqqah 69:19). These will be the believers who would be admitted to Paradise. On the other hand, those destined for Hell will be given their records in their left hands.

Islamic civilization emphasizes the right hand. We eat and drink with our right hand. We wear our clothes and shoes beginning with the right side. We enter the majid with our right foot first. And we pray to get our book of account on the Day of Judgment in our right hand.
