Tazkiyatun Nafs

“Indeed he succeeds who purifies his ownself, And indeed he fails who corrupts his ownself.” (91:9-10)

A’ishah radi Allahu anha narrated this duaa from the Prophet sal Allahu alayhi wa sallm in a hadeeth in Saheeh Muslim:

اللَّهُمَّ آتِ نَفْسِي تَقْوَاهَا وَزَكِّهَا أَنْتَ خَيْرُ مَنْ زَكَّاهَا أَنْتَ وَلِيُّهَا وَ مَوْلَاهَا
Allāhumma Āti Nafsī Taqwāhā wa Zakkihā Anta Khayru man Zakkāhā Anta Waliyyuhā wa Mawlāhā

O Allah, grant my soul its piety and purify it, You are the Best to purify it, You are its Guardian and Master.
