Dua for deliverance from Shirk

اَللّهُمَّ اِنِّى اَعُوْذُبِكَ اَنْ اُشْرِكَ بِكَ شَيْئًا وَّاَنَا اَعْلَمُ وَاَسْتَغْفِرُكَ لِمَا لَا اَعْلَمُ

Oh Allah! I seek refuge in You from ascribing any partners to You knowingly, and I seek Your forgiveness from that which I am unaware of.  

To be recited daily

In one Majlis Rasulullah Salallahu Alaihi Wasallam told Sahaaba (R.A), “If a pitch black ant moves on a pitch black night on a pitch black stone, nobody will hear the movement of the ant, neither will anyone see the ant. More secretly than that will ostentation enter the hearts of people yet they will be totally unaware.

If a person does not have sincerity, then the A’mal of a person will be washed away. So Sayyiduna Abu Bakr R.A. (may Allah reward him) said, “Oh messenger of Allah, in that case we will all be destroyed.”  The Salaah, Zakaat, Haj, Charity, carried out during one’s lifetime will be destroyed.

Rasulullah Salallahu Alaihi Wasallam taught them (Sahaaba) a Dua to recite which will protect them from all forms of ostentation.
