Ask for a heart inclined to obedience

What It Means: Reading in Context

This is the closing request from a supplication addressed to Allah as the Turner of hearts. The Prophet makes the supplication after speaking about Allah directing human hearts. Only the final request is quoted; the entry remains a hadith-sourced supplication, not a Qur’anic verse. This entry comes from Sahih Muslim 2655. The displayed text is an excerpt, not the complete narration. Follow the source link to read the narrator, full wording and in-book reference together. A hadith number identifies the source used here; numbering systems can differ between editions. Being able to inspect a source is important when a short statement is shared outside its original setting. The accompanying reflection is an editorial prompt for everyday conduct. It is not part of the hadith and does not replace explanation from qualified scholarship. Avoid extending a short reminder into a religious ruling that the entry itself does not establish.
