The dua “Allahumma Arinal Haqqa Haqqan” is not authentically attributed to the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). Some sources suggest it was mentioned by Imam Ghazali without a verified chain of narration, and although it is sometimes attributed to Sayyidna Abu Bakr and Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with them), there is no authentic chain for it.

Muslims are encouraged to make personal supplications for forgiveness, guidance, and strength in their own words and languages, as long as these align with the teachings of the Quran and Sunnah.
