Metamorphosis of gratitude

رَبِّ أَوْزِعْنِي أَنْ أَشْكُرَ نِعْمَتَكَ ٱلَّتِي أَنْعَمْتَ عَلَيَّ وَعَلَىٰ وَالِدَيَّ وَأَنْ أَعْمَلَ صَالِحًا تَرْضَاهُ وَأَصْلِحْ لِي فِي ذُرِّيَّتِي إِنِّي تُبْتُ إِلَيْكَ وَإِنِّي مِنَ ٱلْمُسْلِمِينَ

Rabbi awzi'ni an ashkura ni'matakallati an'amta 'alayya wa 'ala walidayya wa an a'mala salihan tardahu wa aslih li fi dhurriyyati inni tubtu ilayka wa inni minal-muslimin

My Lord, enable me to be grateful for the favour You have bestowed upon me and upon my parents, and to do righteous deeds that please You; and grant me righteousness in my offspring. Indeed, I have turned to You in repentance, and I am of the Muslims.

Source: Quran 46:15
