Allahumma Inni dua is a supplication to seek Allah’s guidance in three important aspects of our lives. Let’s see it in detail.

Ilman Nafia  عِلْماً نافِعاً

Rizqan Tayyiban  رِزْقاً طَيِّباً 

Another aspect of this supplication is  Rizqan Tayyiban which means pure sustenance (rizq). It means the provision that is pure and legal (Halal). The hala rizq is an important aspect of Muslims' lives. Rizqan Tayyiban refers to earning which is based on legal methods where non-Islamic act is not involved. It is believed that worship, deeds, and duas are only accepted when the means of earning is legal. 

Hazrat Abu Huraira R.A. narrates Hadith (Sahih Muslim 1015) that the Prophet (Saw) said;

“O people, Allah is Good and He, therefore, accepts only that which is good. And Allah commanded the believers as He commanded the Messengers by saying: “O Messengers, eat of the good things, and do good deeds; verily I am aware of what you do”

 Amalan Mutaqabbalan عَمَلاً مُتَقَبَّلاً

Amalan Mutaqabbalan means acceptable deeds. Good and acceptable deeds are those which are carried out according to Allah’s commands the Prophet’s Sunnah. The rewards of the deed depend on the intentions. Our beloved Prophet (SAW) said in a Hadith Sahih al-Bukhari 6689;

إِنَّمَا الأَعْمَالُ بِالنِّيَّةِ، وَإِنَّمَا لاِمْرِئٍ مَا نَوَى

“The (reward of) deeds, depends upon the intentions and every person will get the reward according to what he has intended”

It is there important to have pure intentions behind every deed to be acceptable.
