After the initial feedback from my MV friends, I've read this dua several times.  Usually I read the portion quoted by Sister Heba, but a few times I read the whole which indeed is a bit too lengthy. 

Frankly, I see the values of this supplication compatible with the Noble Quran, otherwise I would never have read it nor would any of you have recommended it.  The problem in it is only the human approach of too much anxiety and restlessness ... if I may put it that way.  I mean, sometimes this dua is like nervously asking Allah too many questions of whether or not we will be considered worthy of avoiding Hellfire.    So, at times it feels that the suppliant is forgetting the fact that Allah NEVER punishes those who don't deserve it ... that Allah's perception is flawless, Divine Justice is flawless.  But I guess that's simply a portrayal of human nature and the nervousness of the human heart / soul that makes them impatient.  Perhaps, in certain cases, such impatience is an indication of being overly fearful which might be a good sign, manifesting the humility and goodness of one's soul.  Indeed, Allah is best aware of the inside story of every soul.
