Allahumma inni a’oozu-bika min aan ush’rika bika shai’an aa’lam; Wa aas’tagfiruka le ma la a’alam.

TRANSLATION

O Allah, I take refuge in You lest I should commit shirk with You knowingly and I seek Your forgiveness for what I do unknowingly.

BENEFIT AND VIRTUE

The Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم warned us against shirk, fearing that his Ummah might fall into it, and said: “The thing I fear most for you is minor shirk”. Imam Ahmad 23119 Also he صلى الله عليه وسلم said: “Shirk among you is more subtle than the sound of the footsteps of an ant on a rock, shall I not tell you of something which, if you do it, this Dua it will take that away from you both minor and major forms of it”.
