This lengthy dua from the Sunnah is a comprehensive supplication; it is reported that the Prophet ﷺ would rarely conclude a gathering without offering it for his companions, given how it gathers the good of both religion and worldly life.
Allahummaq-sim lana min khashyatika ma yahoolu baynana wa bayna ma'aseek, wa min ta'atika ma tuballighuna bihi jannatak, wa minal-yaqeeni ma tuhawwinu bihi 'alayna museebatid-dunya, wa matti'na bi-asma'ina wa absarina wa quwwatina ma ahyaytana, waj'alhul-waritha minna, waj'al tha'rana 'ala man dhalamana, wansurna 'ala man 'adana, wa la taj'al museebatana fi deenina, wa la taj'alid-dunya akbara hammina, wa la mablagha 'ilmina, wa la tusallit 'alayna man la yarhamuna.

Meaning
O Allah, apportion for us such fear of You as will come between us and disobedience to You, and such obedience to You as will deliver us to Your Paradise, and such certainty as will make the calamities of this world easy for us. Grant us enjoyment of our hearing, our sight, and our strength for as long as You keep us alive, and make that enjoyment last for us. Make our vengeance fall upon those who wrong us, and grant us victory over those who show enmity to us. Let no calamity befall our religion, and do not make this world our greatest concern nor the sum of our knowledge, and do not let those who have no mercy for us gain power over us.
