Dua for New Employment
3 Ways to Start a Job Well
Beginning a new job brings both excitement and uncertainty, as a person steps into an unfamiliar role among new people. The dua for new employment draws on the prayer Allah taught the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh), asking to enter by a sound entrance, to exit by a sound exit, and to be granted a supporting authority from Allah. It is a beautiful supplication for entering any new situation in a sound, blessed way, seeking the help of Allah to begin and conduct oneself well.
رَبِّ أَدْخِلْنِي مُدْخَلَ صِدْقٍ وَأَخْرِجْنِي مُخْرَجَ صِدْقٍ وَاجْعَلْ لِي مِنْ لَدُنْكَ سُلْطَانًا نَصِيرًا
Rabbi adkhilnī mudkhala sidqin wa akhrijnī mukhraja sidqin waj‘al lī min ladunka sultānan nasīrā.
“My Lord, cause me to enter a sound entrance and to exit a sound exit, and grant me from Yourself a supporting authority.”
