Allahumma anta Rabbii Laa ilaha illaa anta

In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, Most Merciful

Ya Allah, You are my Lord
none have the right to be worshipped but You
You have created me and i am your slave, your worshipper
and i am faithful to my covenant and my promise as far as i am able
i seek Your Refuge from the evil of what i have done
i acknowledge before You all the favors You have bestowed upon me
and i confess all my sins to You

forgive me
for no one can forgive sins except You
(Ya Allah)

Amin, Amin, Ya Rabbal Al Amin

Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported:
The Prophet (PBUH) said,
"Seven are (the persons)
whom Allah will give Shade of His Thrown on the Day when
there would be no shade other than His Throne's Shade:
A just ruler;
A youth who grew up worshipping Allah;
A man whose heart is attached to mosques;
Two persons who love and meet each other
and depart from each other for the sake of Allah;
A man whom an extremely beautiful woman seduces (for illicit relation),
but he (rejects this offer by saying): 'I fear Allah';
A man who gives in charity and conceals it (to such an extent)
that the left hand does not know what the right has given;
and
A person who remembers Allah in solitude and his eyes well up".
[Al-Bukhari and Muslim]

"To love for the sake of Allah" means loving someone,
not for worldly gain,
but because he/she is more religious and pious or busy in serving Muslims and Islam,
or because loving him or her is commanded by Allah; like loving parents.

Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) said:
"Allah shall ask on the Day of Judgment;
'Where are those who loved for the sake of my greatness?
Today when there is no shade, I shall have them in my shade.'"
[Sahih Muslim]

indeed,
"The Believers are but a single brotherhood."
-Surah Al Hujraat, Ayat 10.

"The world is but a (quick passing) enjoyment;
and the best enjoyment of the world
is a pious and virtuous woman".
[Muslim]

Commentary:
This Hadith stresses the fact
that if one wants success in this world and the Hereafter,
he should select a pious wife.
Rather than going after her beauty, lineage and wealth,
one should give preference to her Faith
over all other considerations.
If he chooses a woman who is faithful to her Deen
and strictly adheres to the Shari'ah,
she would be a source of blessing for him in this life and the Hereafter.
