Allahumma Arinal Haqqa Haqqan is a Dua that Muslims recite asking for guidance to differentiate between what is right and what is evil, as well as help those who recite it follow what is right and avoid what is evil.
The Dua is not quoted from the Prophet (ﷺ). Instead According to scholars it was quoted by Imam Ghazali and other scholars attribute it to Sayyiduna Abu Bakr e-Siddiq (Radiya Llahu ‘anhu).
Still, there is no harm in reciting the dua and it is very beneficial, especially in our time where wrong is mixed with right and our vision became blurry in differentiating between what is good and what is evil.
