Whoever guides someone to good has a reward like the one who does it.
Sahih Muslim · 1893
اللهُمَّ لَكَ أَسْلَمْتُ، وَبِكَ آمَنْتُ، وَعَلَيْكَ تَوَكَّلْتُ، وَإِلَيْكَ أَنَبْتُ، وَبِكَ خَاصَمْتُ، اللهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِعِزَّتِكَ، لا إِلَهَ إِلّا أَنْتَ، أَنْ تُضِلَّنِي، أَنْتَ الْحَيُّ الَّذِي لا يَمُوتُ، وَالْجِنُّ وَالْإِنْسُ يَمُوتُونَ
Allāhumma laka aslamtu, wa bika āmantu, wa ʿalayka tawakkaltu, wa ilayka anabtu, wa bika khāṣamtu. Allāhumma innī aʿūdhu biʿizzatika, lā ilāha illā ant, an tuḍillanī. Anta al-ḥayyu alladhī lā yamūt, wa al-jinnu wa al-insu yamūtūn.
O Allah, to You I submit, in You I believe, upon You I rely, to You I turn, and by Your help I contend. I seek refuge in Your might—none has the right to be worshipped except You—from being led astray. You are the Ever-Living who never dies, while jinn and humankind die.
A prayer for guidance, sound judgment, and a heart kept firm upon faith.
