The Noble Messenger of Allah ﷺ would often supplicate by saying:
Arabic:
اللَّهُمَّ اهْدِنِي لِأَحْسَنِ الأَخْلَاقِ، لَا يَهْدِي لِأَحْسَنِهَا إِلَّا أَنْتَ، وَاصْرِفْ عَنِّي سَيِّئَهَا، لَا يَصْرِفُ عَنِّي سَيِّئَهَا إِلَّا أَنْتَ
English Meaning:
“O Allah, guide me to the best of character, for none guides to the best of it except You. And turn me away from bad character, for none can turn me away from it except You.”
— Sahih Muslim 1907
Explanation:
This is a powerful Masnoon Duʿa where the Prophet ﷺ asked Allah directly for good manners, honesty (Imandari), and protection from bad behavior. It teaches us that real character comes only through Allah’s guidance. If we recite this daily with sincerity, Allah helps us become truthful, kind, and trustworthy.
