The scholars differed concerning the ruling on this supplication. The majority of scholars are of the view that this supplication is recommended (mustahabb), and is not one of the obligatory parts of the prayer.

When asking Allah for mercy, we’re seeking His compassion and salvation from evil, sin, and punishment. Mercy brings us closer to achieving our goals.

Asking for guidance means seeking knowledge, understanding, and the ability to make wise decisions.

Requesting protection means asking Allah to guard us from all harm, including:

Diseases of the heart (doubt, hypocrisy, hatred)
Physical ailments (sicknesses that affect our body)

Remember, heart diseases are more severe than physical ones. If we’re patient and hopeful, physical ailments can even bring us closer to Allah.

When asking for sustenance, we’re seeking provisions for our:

Body (food, drink, clothing, shelter)
Mind (beneficial knowledge, righteous deeds)

This comprehensive approach to worship encompasses all our needs in this life and the hereafter. We ask Allah to:

Forgive us
Have mercy on us
Guide us (for our afterlife)

And we also ask Him to:

Mend our affairs
Grant us health
Provide sustenance
Raise our rank (for our well-being in this life)

This is how we worship Allah, constantly and fully. It’s not just about attending the mosque on Fridays or church on Sundays and then neglecting our faith the rest of the week. True worship is a complete package, a 24/7 commitment.

This is the beauty of Islam, which attracts millions of people worldwide. They’re drawn to the direct connection between the individual and Allah, without intermediaries. In Islam, we glorify only Allah, recognizing Him as the sole creator of the universe.

We devote all our worship, love, gratitude, and submission to Him alone, acknowledging His uniqueness and oneness.
