Supplication for Blessings in the Life of this World as well as in the Hereafter

Our Lord, grant us blessings in the life of this world and

blessings in the life to come, and save us from the punishment of the Fire^[1].

Note: The

Qur'an says that there are people, who want all the good in the life of this

world, but are not concerned with the reward or the punishment of the life

hereafter. Such an attitude can only be the result of a lack of true belief in

the Hereafter. Thus, even through acts of worship and piety, such people only

desire to get an immediate worldly benefit. True believers, on the contrary, ask

God to grant them His blessings in the life of this world as well as the

Hereafter and to save them from the great punishment of Hellfire. The cited

supplication is mentioned in the Qur'an as a supplication of the true believers

in the Hereafter, who are not merely interested in the good of the life of this

world, but are also interested in the permanent good of the Hereafter.
