What is the comprehensive supplication (du'a) for a Muslim's affairs, and what is the text of the prophets' supplication?
There are comprehensive supplications for the good of this world and the Hereafter found in the Quran and Sunnah, among them: - The supplication: "Our Lord, give us in this world [that which is] good and in the Hereafter [that which is] good and protect us from the punishment of the Fire." - The supplication of the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him: " O Allah, set right for me my religion which is the infallible safeguard of my affairs, and set right for me my worldly affairs in which is my livelihood, and set right for me my Hereafter to which is my return, and make life an increase for me in every good, and make death a relief for me from every evil." - A supplication taught by the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, to Aisha, may Allah be pleased with her: " O Allah, I ask You for all good, sooner or later, that which I know and that which I do not know. And I seek refuge in You from all evil, sooner or later, that which I know and that which I do not know. O Allah, I ask You for the best of what Your servant and Prophet asked You for, and I seek refuge in You from the evil of what Your servant and Prophet sought refuge from. O Allah, I ask You for Paradise and what brings one closer to it in word or deed, and I seek refuge in You from the Fire and what brings one closer to it in word or deed, and I ask You to make every decree You have decreed for me good." - The Istikhara (guidance-seeking) prayer.
There is no specific supplication called "the supplication of the prophets," but there are various supplications of the prophets in the Quran and Sunnah. It is recommended to refer to books of remembrances such as "Hisn al-Muslim."
