Translation & Meaning
Recommended Repetitions: 3 times
During Tawaf, after obligatory prayers, during moments of acceptance, and in daily remembrance
The word "Ḥasanah" (حَسَنَة) in Arabic is an all-inclusive term. In the worldly context, classical scholars such as Ibn Kathir and Al-Qurtubi noted it includes lawful sustenance, beneficial knowledge, a righteous spouse, good health, and peace of mind. In the Hereafter, Ḥasanah means ease during the Reckoning, entry into Jannat al-Firdaws, and looking upon the Countenance of Allah. "Wa-qinā ‘adhāb an-nār" seeks divine shielding from spiritual destruction.
Anas (RA) reported: "The supplication the Prophet ﷺ made most frequently was: Rabbana atina fid-dunya hasanah..." (Sahih al-Bukhari 4522, Sahih Muslim 2690). Reciting it during Tawaf, after Salah, and during any moment of acceptance brings comprehensive barakah.
