Since the time of year is upon us where we are frequenting the masaajid more than usual, I thought this supplication would be an important one for us to learn and inshallah implement.

‘O Allaah, place within my heart light, and upon my tongue light, and within my ears light, and within my eyes light, and place behind me light and in front of me light and above me light and beneath me light. O Allaah, bestow upon me light’ (Saheeh Muslim).

Salaam, beautiful dua mashallah! I learned it as a dua to be read after reading Quraan, is there any backing for that?
