Steadfastness of heart

رَبَّنَا لَا تُزِغْ قُلُوبَنَا بَعْدَ إِذْ هَدَيْتَنَا وَهَبْ لَنَا مِنْ لَدُنْكَ رَحْمَةً إِنَّكَ أَنْتَ ٱلْوَهَّابُ

Rabbana la tuzigh qulubana ba'da idh hadaytana wa hab lana min ladunka rahmah, innaka antal-Wahhab

Our Lord, let not our hearts deviate after You have guided us, and grant us mercy from Yourself; indeed, You are the Bestower.

Source: Quran 3:8

What this supplication is

The believers' prayer from Surah Al 'Imran: let our hearts not deviate after You guided them, and grant mercy from Yourself. It asks Allah to hold what He has already given — the protection of guidance itself.

When to recite it

Daily, especially when faith feels tested or fragile.

Duas are a mercy in themselves — sincerity of heart matters more than eloquence. For a personal religious ruling about this supplication or your circumstances, consult a qualified scholar.
