Ayah: 17

وَٱلَّذِينَ ٱهۡتَدَوۡاْ زَادَهُمۡ هُدٗى وَءَاتَىٰهُمۡ تَقۡوَىٰهُمۡ

17. But those who are 'rightly' guided, Allāh increases them in guidance3 and grants them their righteousness.

3. O Allāh, guide me in your truth, and teach me, for you are my only God, my only Savior, and my hope is in you all day long. Keep me from deceitful ways; be gracious to me and teach me the Qur'an and Sunnah. I have chosen Islam, the way of all Prophets, the way of Noah, Abraham, Moses, Jesus and Muhammad, among others, I have set my heart on your teachings. Give me understanding of the Qur'an and Sunnah, and I will obey your Commandments; I will put them into practice with all my heart. Then I will know the truth of Islam, and this truth will set me free. One of the companions of the Prophet Muhammad reported that the Messenger of God (ﷺ) said to him: "Say: O Allāh, guide me and keep me steadfast on the right path."
The Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him, would say, “O Allāh, I ask You for guidance, piety, chastity and self- sufficiency.”
