Question:
Are there any duas to help with stopping
ma********on?
Assalamu Alaikum wa rahmatullahi wa
Barakatuh
Thank you for your question.
The Messenger of Allah (Allah bless him and give
him peace) used to say, “O Allah, I ask You for
guidance, piety, dignified restraint, and freedom
from need. (Allahumma inni as’aluka’l huda wa’t
tuqa wa’l `afafa wa’l ghina)” [Sahih Muslim]
(See also: Prophetic Supplication for Guidance,
Piety, Restraint, and Freedom from Need
Prophetic Example in Our Daily Relations)
ﺍﻟﻠَّﻬُﻢَّ ﺇِﻧِّﻲ ﺃَﺳْﺄَﻟُﻚَ ﺍﻟْﻬُﺪَﻯ ﻭَﺍﻟﺘُّﻘَﻰ ﻭَﺍﻟْﻌَﻔَﺎﻑَ ﻭَﺍﻟْﻐِﻨَﻰ
The following supplication has been narrated by
Qutb al-Din al-Hanafi in his Kitab Ad`iyat al-Hajj
wa al-`Umra and is attributed to Hasan al-Basri.
“O Allah, I seek Your forgiveness for every sin in
which I gave preference to my base desire over
Your obedience and my passion over Your
command - thus I contented myself with Your
wrath and subjected myself to Your displeasure,
though You had forbidden me, presented Your
admonition to me, and established the proof of it
to me through Your warnings [of punishment in
Your revelations]. I seek Your forgiveness, O
Allah, and repent to You. (Allahumma inni
astaghfiruka li kulli dhambin qaddamtu fihi
shahwati `ala ta`atik wa athartu fihi mahabbati
`ala amrik fa ardaytu nafsi bi ghadabik wa
`arradtuha li sakhatik idh nahaytani wa
qaddamta ilayya fihi indharak wa tahhajajta
`alayya fihi bi wa`idik wa astaghfiruka
Allahumma wa atubu ilayk)”
ﺍﻟﻠَّﻬُﻢَّ ﺇِﻧِّﻰ ﺃِﺳْﺘَﻐْﻔِﺮُﻙَ ﻟِﻜُﻞِّ ﺫَﻧْﺐٍ ﻗَﺪَّﻣْﺖُ ﻓِﻴْﻪِ ﺷَﻬْﻮَﺗِﻰ ﻋَﻠَﻰ ﻃَﺎﻋَﺘِﻚَ ﻭَﺁﺛَﺮْﺕُ
ﻓِﻴﻪِ ﻣَﺤَﺒَّﺘِﻰ ﻋَﻠَﻰ ﺃَﻣْﺮِﻙَ ﻓَﺄَﺭْﺿَﻴْﺖُ ﻧَﻔْﺴِﻰ ﺑِﻐَﻀَﺒِﻚَ ﻭَﻋَﺮَّﺿْﺘُﻬَﺎ ﻟِﺴَﺨَﻄِﻚَ ﺇِﺫْ
ﻧَﻬَﻴْﺘَﻨِﻰ ﻭَﻗَﺪَّﻣْﺖَ ﺇِﻟَﻲَّ ﻓِﻴْﻪِ ﺇِﻧْﺬَﺍﺭَﻙَ ﻭَﺗَﺤَﺠَّﺠْﺖَ ﻋَﻠَﻲَّ ﻓِﻴْﻪِ ﺑِﻮَﻋِﻴْﺪِﻙَ ﻭَﺃَﺳْﺘَﻐْﻔِﺮُﻙَ
ﺍﻟﻠَّﻬُﻢَّ ﻭَﺃَﺗُﻮْﺏُ ﺇِﻟَﻴْﻚَ
“O Allah, Your mercy I am hopeful for, so do not
leave me to myself for the blink of an eye, and
put all my affairs in order, there is no god but
You. (Allahumma rahmataka arju fala takilni ila
nafsi tarfata `ayanin wa aslih li sha’ni kullihi la
ilaha illa anta)” [Abu Dawud]
ﺍﻟﻠَّﻬُﻢَّ ﺭَﺣْﻤَﺘَﻚَ ﺃَﺭْﺟُﻮْ ﻓَﻠَﺎ ﺗَﻜِﻠْﻨِﻲ ﺇِﻟَﻰ ﻧَﻔْﺴِﻲ ﻃَﺮْﻓَﺔَ ﻋَﻴْﻦٍ ﻭَﺃَﺻْﻠِﺢْ ﻟِﻲ ﺷَﺄْﻧِﻲ
ﻛُﻠِّﻪِ ﻟَﺎ ﺇِﻟَﻪَ ﺇِﻟَّﺎ ﺃَﻧْﺖَ
Say the supplications with heart and sincerity,
seeking closeness to the Divine, and seeking to
be pulled out of the darkness of sin. Don’t lose
heart, take the positive means to stop the sin,
and always ask Allah as He loves to be asked.
And Allah alone gives success.
