Teach Me Gratitude
رَبِّ أَوْزِعْنِي أَنْ أَشْكُرَ نِعْمَتَكَ الَّتِي أَنْعَمْتَ عَلَيَّ وَعَلَى وَالِدَيَّ وَأَنْ أَعْمَلَ صَالِحًا تَرْضَاهُ وَأَدْخِلْنِي بِرَحْمَتِكَ فِي عِبَادِكَ الصَّالِحِينَ
Transliteration

Translation
My Lord, inspire me to be grateful for Your favor which You bestowed upon me and upon my parents, and to do righteousness You approve of — and admit me by Your mercy among Your righteous servants.

When to read it
When counting your blessings, and as a daily gratitude habit.
Virtue
