How to make Dua

Dua can be made at anytime not just with prayer. Raise your hands with your
palms up and start making dua. The best way to make dua is the “sandwhich”:

1. Praise Allah
2. Praise the Prophet (pbuh)
3. Ask for whatever is in your heart
4. Praise the Prophet (pbuh)
5. Ameen.

It is said that when you place your duas between praising Him and and sending
salutation to His beloved Prophet, Allah is too “shy” to turn you away with nothing.
(Tirmidhi, 3477)

It is also very effective to make dua for others. The Messenger of Allah (pbuh)
said, “No Muslim servant supplicates for his brother behind his back but that the
angel says: And for you the same.” (Sahih Muslim 2732)

Although it is not compulsory, it is Sunnah to make wudu and face the Kibla when
making dua (outside of prayer).

During Prayer (In Sujood)

“The nearest a slave can be to his Lord (Allāh) is while they are prostrating, so
increase in supplication” (Ṣ aḥ īḥ Muslim)

1. Subhana Rabbiyal A'la (x3)

2.Ask for what you want

You can make dua during any sujood of the prayer (not just the last sujood, they
are all equivalent).

Before Ending Prayer (Before Tasleem)

After reciting the last Tashahud in the prayer (before saying Salaam), it is sunnah
to recite the following dua, followed by making dua for anything you want:

‫الّلُهـَّم ِإِّنـي َأعـوُذ ِبَك ِم ـْن َع ذاِب الَقـْبر َو ِم ـْن َع ذاِب َجَهـَّنم َو ِم ـْن ِفْتـَنِة الَم ْح ـيا‬
‫َو الَم مـات َو ِم ـْن َش ـِّر ِفْتـَنِة الَم سيِح الَّد ّجال‬
Allāhumma ‘innī ‘a`ūdhu bika min `adhābi ‘l-qabri. wa min `adhābi jahannam. wa min fitnati
‘l-maḥyā wa ‘l-mamāti. wa min sharri fitnati ‘l-masīḥid-dajjāl
O Allah, I seek refuge in You from the punishment of the grave, and from the
punishment of Hell-fire, and from the trials of life and death, and from the evil of
the trial of the False Messiah
(Al-Bukhari 2:102, Muslim 1:412)
 After Prayer (After Tasleem)
“So when you have finished (Salah) devote yourself to Allah’s worship and to your
Lord (alone) turn (all your) intentions and hopes.” (Surah Ash-Sharh 94:7-8)

1. Raise your hands with your palms up

2. Praise Allah
3. Praise the prophet (pbuh)
4. Ask for forgiveness (x3)
5. Ask for what you want
6. Praise the prophet (pbuh)
7. Ameen. Wipe your hands over your face (not compulsory)

End of Prayers (Witr; After Isha)

Allah's Messenger (‫( )ﷺ‬p.b.u.h) said, "Our Lord, the Blessed, the Superior, comes
every night down on the nearest Heaven to us when the last third of the night
remains, saying: "Is there anyone to invoke Me, so that I may respond to
invocation? Is there anyone to ask Me, so that I may grant him his request? Is
there anyone seeking My forgiveness, so that I may forgive him?" (Sahih al-Bukhari
1145)

Witr consists of three rakaats of prayer. It can be prayed one of two ways:
a) Pray two raakats and conclude with Tashahud and Tasleem (Salaam), and
then pray one rakaat but after ruku you put your hands up for dua
(starting with Dua E Qunoot) and then conclude your dua and go into
sujood and finish the prayer as usual with Tashahud and Tasleem.
b) Pray three rakaats back to back and only recite tashahud after the third
rakaat, followed by Tasleem to end the prayer. Make Dua after ruku on the
third rakaat (before sujood) by putting your hands up and starting with
Dua E Qunoot.

Although you can recite any three surahs for Witr, it is Sunnah to recite Surah Al-
A’laa (87) on the first rakaat, Surah Al-Kafiroon (109) in the second, and Surah Al-
Ikhlas (112) on the third. (Al-Nasai: 1729)

When making dua (in last rakaat of Witr), raise your hands with palm facing up:
a) Due E Qunoot
b) Praise Allah
c) Praise the the prophet (pbuh)
d) Ask for forgiveness
e) Ask for what you want
f) Pray for the Needy and the Ummah
g) Praise the prophet (pbuh)
h) Say Ameen and wipe your face with your hands (not compulsory)
End with Sujood, Tashahud and Salaam
 Dua E Qunoot
‫الَّلُهَّم اْهِدِني ِفيَم ْن َهَد ْيَت َو َع اِفِني ِفيَم ْن َع اَفْيَت و َتَو َّلِني ِفيَم ْن َتَو َّلْيَت َو َباِرْك‬
‫ِلي ِفيَم ا َأْع َطْيَت َو ِقِني َش َّر َم ا َقَض ْيَت إَّنَك َتْقِض ي َو ال ُيْقَض ى َع لْيَك إَّنُه ال َيِّذ ُّل‬
‫َم ْن َو اَلْيَت َتَباَر ْك َت َو َتَع اَلْيَت‬
Allahumma ihdini fi-man hadayta wa-ʿafini fi-man ʿafayta wa-tawallani fi-man tawwalayta
wa-barik li fi-ma aʿtayta wa-qini sharra ma qadayta innaka taqdi wa-la yuqda ʿalayka innahu
la yadhillu man walayta tabarakta wa-taʿalayta
O Allah, guide me among those whom You have guided, grant me well-being
among those whom You have granted well-being, befriend me among those to
whom You have befriended, bless me in what You have bestowed, and save me
from the evil of what You have decreed. Truly, You decree and none can decree
against You; one whom You have befriended is not humiliated. Blessed are You (O
Allah) and Exalted. (At-Tirmidhi: 464))

Dua After Witr Salah

It is Sunnah to recite the following dua three times after Witr Prayer:
‫سبحان الملك القدوس‬
Subḥāna ‘l-Maliki ‘l-Quddūs.
Glory is to the King, the Holy
[On the third time, raise and extend the voice and then say...]

‫رِّب المالئكِة والّروح‬

Rabbi ‘l-Malā'ikati war-rūh.
Lord of the angels and the Spirit
(An-Nasa'i 3:244)

Witr should only be prayed once at night, anytime between Isha and Fajr. The
Prophet (pbuh) said, “There should not be two Witrs in one night.” (Tirmidhi, 470).
Therefore, if you prayed Witr already after Isha (ie. Witr after Taraweeh prayer),
you cannot pray Witr again (ie. Witr after Tahajjud prayer). The first Witr will count
for both sets of prayers.

However, if you already prayed Witr but want to stay for the second Witr (ie. Witr
after Tahajjud prayer), once the Imaam makes Sujood and Tasleem on the third
rakaat (end of Witr), you should not say Tasleem (Salaam) and instead get up to
pray one more rakaat (four rakaats) so that it is not Witr prayer again. Same
applies if you don’t pray Witr at the begining (ie. after Taraweeh) but want to pray
Witr after Tahajjud, pray a fourth rakaat at the end of the first Witr.

Although it is recommended to pray Witr as the last prayer of the night, it is still
permissible to pray Nafl prayers after Witr, so long as Witr prayer is not repeated.
The Prophet (pbuh) prayed Nafl after Witr to show that it is allowed (Sahih
Muslim).
Names of Allah
“To Allah belongs the Most Beautiful Names, so call on Him by them.” (7:180)
The Messenger of Allah ‫ ﷺ‬remarked: “By the One in Whose Hand is my life, He
has certainly asked Allah with His Greatest Name; when He is supplicated by it,
He responds, and when asked, He gives.” (Tirmidhī)

When making Dua, call Allah by His names such as:

Al-Mujeeb - The One Who Responds
Al-Wakeel - The Disposer of Affairs
Al-Jabbar - The Restorer
Al-Rahman - The Most Merciful
Al-Wali - The Protecting Friend
As-Salam - The Source of Peace
Al-Shafi - The Healer
Al-Haseeb - The Sufficient
Ar-Razzaq - The Provider
Al-Hadi - The Guide
Al-Wahhab - The Bestower
Al-Qawi - The All Strong
Al-Hakim - The All-Wise
Al-Wuduud - The Most Loving
Al-Ghafoor - The Most Forgiving
Al-Kareem - The Most Generous

 Foundation
The foundation to making your Dua accepted is by praising Allah, praising His
beloved Prophet (pbuh), and asking for forgiveness. Start and end your Dua with
the following:

Praise Allah
The Prophet ‫ ﷺ‬told us that “the best words a slave can utter after the Qur’an are
the words of praise and glory (to Allah).” (Ahmad) ”It is the only worship that will be
performed by the inhabitants of Paradise; and will be the manner in which they
ask from Allah” (Tirmidhi).

‫َر َّبنـا َو َلَك الَحْم ـُد َح ْم ـدًا َك ثـيرًا َطِّيـبًا ُم ـباَر كًا فيه‬
Rabbanaa wa la kal hamd, hamdan katheeran tayyiban mubaarakan feeh
Our Lord, all praise is due only to You, praise which is abundant, excellent and
blessed (Bukhari 12:764)

Praise the Prophet (PBUH)

Du’aa’ is detained between the heavens and the earth and no part of it is taken
up until you send blessings upon your Prophet (pbuh).” (Tirmidhi, 486)

‫الَّلُهَّم َص ِّل َع َلٰى َس ِّيِد َنا ُمَح َّم ٍد َو َع َلٰى آِلِه َو َص ْح ِبِه َو َس ِّلْم‬
Allāhumma ṣalli ʿalā Sayyidinā Muḥammadin wa ʿalā ālihi wa ṣaḥbihi wa sallim
O Allah, send prayers and peace upon Muhammad and upon his Family and
Companions

Ask for Forgiveness

The Messenger of Allah ‫ ﷺ‬said: “If anyone constantly seeks forgiveness from Allah,
Allah will appoint for him a way out of every distress and a relief from every
anxiety, and will provide sustenance for him from where he expects not.” (Abu
Dawood 20: 1873)

‫لَّلُهَّم ِإَّنَك َع ُفٌّو ُتِح ُّب اْلَع ْفَو َفاْعُف َع ِّني‬

Allahumma innaka afuwwun tuhibbul afwa fa’fu annee
O Allah, You are Forgiving and love forgiveness, so forgive me
(Sunan Ibn Majah 3850)
 Dua After Every Fard Salah
It is reported by various Hadiths that the Prophet (pbuh) would make the
following duas after every Fard prayers:

‫َأْسَتْغ ِفُر َهللا‬

Astaghfirullah
I seek forgiveness from Allah
[Say this three times]

‫ َتَباَر ْك َت َيا َذ ا اْلَج َالِل َو اِإل ْك َر اِم‬، ‫الَّلُهَّم َأْنَت الَّس َالُم َو ِم ْنَك الَّس َالُم‬
Allāhumma Antas-Salām wa minkas-salām. Tabārakta yā Zal-jalāli wal- ikrām.
O Allah, You are As-Salam (Peace), From You is all peace, blessed are You O
Possessor of majesty and honour. (Sunan At-Tirmidhi)

‫الَّلُهـَّم َأِع ـِّني َع لَـى ِذ ْك ـِرَك َو ُشْك ـِرَك َو ُحْسـِن ِع َبـاَد ِتـَك‬
Allāhumma a’innī ’alā zikrika wa syukrika wa ḥusni ‘ibādatik
O Allah, help me to remember You, expressing gratitude towards You, and to
worship You in the best manner. (Sunan Abi Daud)

. ‫ َو ُهَو َع َلى ُك ِّل َش يٍء ًقِد يٌر‬، ‫ َلُه اْلُم ْلُك َو َلُه اْلَحْم ُد‬،‫ُهللا َو ْح َد ُه اَل َش ِريَك َلُه‬ ‫اَل ِإَلَه ِإاَّل‬
‫ َو اَل َيْنَفُع َذ ا اْلَج ِّد ِم ْنَك اْلَج ُّد‬، ‫ َو اَل ُم ْع ِط َي ِلَم ا َم َنْعَت‬، ‫َم اِنَع ِلَم ا َأْع َطيَت‬ ‫َالَّلُهَّم اَل‬
Lā ilāha illallāhu wahdahu lā syarika lahu, lahul-mulku wa lahul-hamdu, wa Huwa 'alā kulli
shay-in Qadir. Allāhumma lā māni'a limā a'tayta, wa lā mu'tiya limā mana'ta, wa lā yanfa'u
zal-jaddi minkal-jaddu.
There is no true god except Allah. He is One and He has no partner with Him, His
is the sovereignty and His is the praise, and He is Omnipotent. O Allah! None can
deny that which You bestow and none can bestow that which You hold back, and
the greatness of the great will be of no avail to them against You.
(Sahih Al-Bukhari and Muslim)

Dhikr
The Prophet (pbuh) said: “Whoever glorifies Allah (Subhan Allah ) 33 times
immediately after each prayer, and praises Allah (Al-hamdu Lillah) 33 times, and
magnifies Allah (Allahu akbar) 33 times, this makes 99, then to complete 100
declares the oneness of Allah (La ilaha ill-Allah wahdahu la sharika laha…) his sins
will be forgiven even if they are like the foam of the sea.” (Muslim: 597)

‫ُسـبَح اَن ِهللا‬

Subḥān Allāh
Glorified is Allāh above any imperfection
[Say this thirty-three times]
 ‫الـَح مـُد هلل‬
Alḥamdu lillāh
All praise is for Allāh

Lā ilāha illallāhu wahdahu lā syarika lahu, lahul-mulku wa lahul-hamdu, wa Huwa 'alā kulli
shay-in Qadir
There is no true god except Allah. He is One and He has no partner with Him, His
is the sovereignty and His is the praise, and He is Omnipotent.
[Say this one time]

Ayatul Kursi (Verse of the Throne)

The Prophet (pbuh) said: "Whoever recites Ayat al-Kursi at the end of every
obligatory prayer, nothing but death will prevent him from entering Paradise."
(An-Nasa'i: 220)

‫ٱُهَّلل ٓاَل ِإَلٰـَه ِإاَّل ُهَو ٱْلَح ُّى ٱْلَقُّيوُم ۚ اَل َتْأُخ ُذ ۥُه ِس َنٌۭة َو اَل َنْو ٌۭم ۚ َّل ۥُه َم ا ِفى ٱلَّس َم ٰـ َٰو ِت َو َم ا‬
ۖ ‫ِفى ٱَأْلْر ِضۗ َم ن َذ ا ٱَّلِذ ى َيْش َفُع ِع نَد ٓۥُه ِإاَّل ِبِإْذ ِنِهۦۚ َيْع َلُم َم ا َبْيَن َأْيِد يِهْم َو َم ا َخ ْلَفُهْم‬
ۖ ‫َو اَل ُيِح يُطوَن ِبَش ْى ٍۢء ِّم ْن ِع ْلِمِهٓۦ ِإاَّل ِبَم ا َش ٓاَء ۚ َو ِس َع ُك ْر ِس ُّيُه ٱلَّس َم ٰـ َٰو ِت َو ٱَأْلْر َض‬
‫َو اَل َئُـوُد ۥُه ِح ْفُظُهَم اۚ َو ُهَو ٱْلَعِلُّى ٱْلَعِظ يُم‬
Allahu laaa ilaaha illaa huwal haiyul qai-yoom; laa taakhuzuhoo sinatunw wa laa nawm;
lahoo maa fissamaawaati wa maa fil ard; man zallazee yashfa'u indahooo illaa be iznih;

illa be maa shaaaa; wasi'a kursiyyuhus samaa waati wal arda wa la ya'ooduho hifzuhumaa;
wa huwal aliyyul 'azeem
Allah! There is no god ˹worthy of worship˺ except Him, the Ever-Living, All-
Sustaining. Neither drowsiness nor sleep overtakes Him. To Him belongs
whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on the earth. Who could possibly
intercede with Him without His permission? He ˹fully˺ knows what is ahead of
them and what is behind them, but no one can grasp any of His knowledge—
except what He wills ˹to reveal˺. His Seat1 encompasses the heavens and the
earth, and the preservation of both does not tire Him. For He is the Most High,
the Greatest
(Surah Al-Baqarah 3:255)
 Laylatul Qadr
The Holy Night of Laylat-ul-Qadr, otherwise called the Night of Power, Night of
Decree, or Night of Destiny incites a thousand months’ worth of rewards in a
singular eve. If one executes any acts of goodwill on this night, they reap the rewards
of having performed the good deed for a thousand months (83 years). (Surah Al-
Qadr)

Recite Quran
The Prophet (pbuh) said: “Fasting and the Quran will intercede for a person on
the Day of Resurrection. Fasting will say: O Lord, I kept him from his food and
desires during the day; let me intercede for him. And the Quran will say: I kept him
from sleeping during the night; let me intercede for him. And they will be allowed
to intercede.” (Musnad Ahmad: 6626)

Surah Al-Fatiha
The Mother of the Quran. The Prophet (pbuh) said it is the most superior
Surah of the Quran. It was sent from Heaven as a Light and it serves to cure
all diseases and to cure the heart of spiritual ailment (Sahih Al-Bukhari)

Surah Al-Baqarah
Angels come down when this Surah is recited. It serves as a protection from
Shaytaan and evils of this world. It will be as a protector and intercede for you
on the day of Judgement. (Sahih Al-Bukhari)

Surah Al-Mulk
Known as “The Rescuer”. Whoever recites Surah Al-Mulk every night will be
protected from the punishment of the grave and it will intercede for you on
the Day of Judgement until you are forgiven, easing the trials of the grave and
brightening its darkness. (Al-Nasai 6:179)

Make Dhikr
Do lots of Dhikr on Laylatul Qadr. Dhikr is not only a means of drawing closer to
Allah but also a way to attain peace, contentment, and blessings in this life and
the hereafter. The reward of making Dhikr in Ramadan is multiplied by many
folds.

Whoever recites the following dua three times in the evening, they will have the
the reward equivalent to making Dhikr until sunrise. (Sahih Muslim)

‫ َو ِم َد اَد َك ِلَم اِتِه‬،‫ َو ِزَنَة َع ْر ِشِه‬،‫ َو ِر َض ا َنْفِسِه‬،‫ُسْبَح اَن ِهّٰللا َو ِبَحْمِدِه َعَدَد َخ ْلِقِه‬
Subhaanallaahi wa bihamdihi, 'Adada khalqihi, wa ridhaa nafsihi, wa zinata 'arshihi wa
midaada kalimaatihi
How perfect Allaah is and I praise Him by the number of His creation and His
pleasure, and by the weight of His throne, and the ink of His words.

Seek Allah’s Forgiveness

Whoever prays during the night of Qadr with faith and hoping for its reward will
have all of his previous sins forgiven. “Tell them (O Prophet): ‘oh my servant, the
 one who has wronged himself, do not despair from the mercy of ALLAH, indeed
Allah forgives all sins, indeed He is the Oft-Forgiving, The Most Merciful’”
(Surah Al-Zumar: 53)

Perform two rakaats of Salaah and make dua to Allah. The best due to make is:
‫لَّلُهَّم ِإَّنَك َع ُفٌّو ُتِح ُّب اْلَع ْفَو َفاْعُف َع ِّني‬
Allahumma innaka afuwwun tuhibbul afwa fa’fu annee
O Allah, You are Forgiving and love forgiveness, so forgive me
(Tirmidhi 3513)

Make Lots of Dua

Allah has said that prayers can even move mountains from their place. This time,
ask for everything you dont even hope for. Allah will grant you from where you
cant even imagine. (Surah Al-Imran)

On the blessed night of Laylatul Qadr, destinies are decreed for the upcoming
year. Laylatul Qadr is for those who are fortunate. Whatever is in your heart, say
it all to your Lord that night, ask for every wish. Ask for the fulfillment of your
incomplete love, ask for sustenance for yourself, ask for health for yourself,
making every impossible desire possible is the most beloved way of Laylatul
Qadr.

Here are some duas to make:

Our Lord, do not take us to task if we forget or make a mistake. Our Lord, do not
burden us as You have burdened those before us. Our Lord, do not impose upon
us that which we do not have the strength to bear. Pardon us, forgive us, have
mercy on us. You are our Lord and Master, so help us against the disbelieving

Rabbana taqabbal minnaa innaka Antas Samee’ul Aleem
Our Lord, accept [this] from us. Indeed You are the Hearing, the Knowing. (2:127)
Dua for Allah (swt) to accept whatever good you’ve just done. Du’a Prophet Ibrahim (as) recited after building the Kaaba with
his son.

‫َر َّبَنا َو ٱۡج َع ۡل َنا ُم ۡس ِلَم ۡي ِن َلَك َو ِم ن ُذ ِّر َّيِتَنٓا ُأَّم ٗة ُّم ۡس ِلَم ٗة َّلَك َو َأِرَنا َم َناِس َكَنا َو ُتۡب َع َلۡي َنۖٓا ِإَّنَك‬
‫َأنَت ٱلَّتَّو اُب ٱلَّر ِح يُم‬
 Rabbana waj’alnaa muslimaini laka wa min zurriyyatinaaa ummatam muslimatal laka wa
arinaa manaasikanaa wa tub ‘alainaa innaka antat Tawwaabur Raheem
Our Lord, and make us Muslims [in submission] to You and from our descendants
a Muslim nation [in submission] to You. And show us our rites [of worship] and
accept our repentance. Indeed, You are the Accepting of Repentance, the
Merciful. (2:128)
Du’a to affirm your faith in Islam. It also a good prayer that asks for the success of the entire Muslim Ummah. Du’a Prophet
Ibrahim (as) recited after building the Kaaba with his son

‫َر َّبَنٓا َأۡف ِرۡغ َع َلۡي َنا َص ۡب ٗر ا َو َثِّبۡت َأۡق َد اَم َنا َو ٱنُص ۡر َنا َع َلى ٱۡل َقۡو ِم ٱۡل َٰك ِفِريَن‬
Rabbana afrigh ‘alainaa sabranw wa sabbit aqdaamanaa wansurnaa ‘alal qawmil kaafireen
Our Lord, pour upon us patience and plant firmly our feet and give us victory
over the disbelieving people. (2:250)
Dua for protection, patience in whatever endeavor, and to be victorious. Recited by Prophet Dawud (as): Dawud (as) did not
seem like he was favored to win a battle against Jalut (Goliath). But “and Allah granted him dominion and wisdom, and
imparted to him the knowledge of whatever He willed.”

‫َّرَّبَنٓا ِإَّنَنا َسِم ۡع َنا ُم َناِد ٗي ا ُيَناِد ي ِلِإۡل يَٰم ِن َأۡن َء اِم ُنوْا ِبَر ِّبُك ۡم َفَٔـاَم َّنۚا‬
Rabbana inanaa sami’na munaadiyai yunaadee lil eemaani an aaminoo bi Rabbikum fa
amanna
Our Lord, indeed we have heard a caller, calling to faith, [saying], ‘Believe in your
Lord,’ and we have believed. (3:193)
Du’a of humility, submission and faith. We have heard a caller (referring to Prophet Muhammad saws) and we have listened to
his message and we believe.

‫َر َّبَنا َفٱۡغ ِفۡر َلَنا ُذ ُنوَبَنا َو َك ِّفۡر َع َّنا َس ِّئَـاِتَنا َو َتَو َّفَنا َم َع ٱَأۡلۡب َر اِر‬
Rabbanaa faghfir lanaa zunoobanaa wa kaffir ‘annaa saiyi aatina wa tawaffanaa ma’al abraar
Our Lord, so forgive us our sins and remove from us our misdeeds and cause us
to die among the righteous. (3:193 )
A du’a for repentance, washing away our misdeeds, and asking Alla to allow us to die as a Muslim

‫َر َّبَنا َوَء اِتَنا َم ا َو َع دَّتَنا َع َلٰى ُرُس ِلَك َو اَل ُتْخ ِزَنا َيْو َم ٱْلِقَٰي َم ِةۗ ِإَّنَك اَل ُتْخ ِلُف ٱْلِم يَع اَد‬
Rabbanaa wa aatinaa maa wa’attanaa ‘alaa Rusulika wa laa tukhzinaa Yawmal Qiyaamah;
innaka laa tukhliful mee’aad
Our Lord, and grant us what You promised us through Your messengers and do not
disgrace us on the Day of Resurrection. Indeed, You do not fail in [Your] promise. (3:194)
Du’a of humility, to be saved from being disgraced on the day of judgment

‫َر َّبَنٓا َأنِزْل َع َلْيَنا َم ٓاِئَد ًة ِّم َن ٱلَّس َم ٓاِء َتُك وُن َلَنا ِع يًدا َأِّلَّو ِلَنا َوَء اِخ ِرَنا َوَء اَيًة ِّم نَك ۖ َو ٱْر ُز ْقَنا‬
‫َو َأنَت َخ ْيُر ٱلَّٰر ِزِقيَن‬
Rabbanaaa anzil ‘alainaa maaa’idatam minas samaaa’i takoonu lanaa ‘eedal li awwalinaa wa
aakhirinaa wa Aayatam minka warzuqnaa wa Anta khairur raaziqeen
O Allah, our Lord, send down to us a table [spread with food] from the heaven to
be for us a festival for the first of us and the last of us and a sign from You. And
provide for us, and You are the best of providers. (5:114)
A du’a for provision; supply with food, money, or way to make a living. All good provisions come from Allah (swt), we turn to
him and ask him to provide for us. This is a du’a Isa (Jesus) recited asking for sufficient food for him and his followers. Allah
(swt) replies in the following verse, “I am going to send it down to you; but whoever from you disbelieves after that, I shall give
him a punishment I shall not give to anyone in the worlds.”
 ‫َر َّبَنا اَل َتۡج َع ۡل َنا َم َع ٱۡل َقۡو ِم ٱلَّظٰـ ِلِم يَن‬
Rabbanaa laa taj’alnaa ma’al qawmiz zaalimeen
Our Lord, do not place us with the wrongdoing people. (7:47)
We may know that the fate of the wrongdoing people will not be pleasant one but, in our dayto- day life, we may be blind to this
reality because it takes place inch by inch. Only when the end is shown do we realize the mistake in our judgment. Unfortunately,
it’s too late by then. This du’a asks Allah to protect us from being a victim to that fate.

‫َر َّبَنٓا َأْفِرْغ َع َلْيَنا َص ْبًرا َو َتَو َّفَنا ُم ْس ِلِم يَن‬

Rabbanaaa afrigh ‘alainaa sabranw wa tawaffanaa muslimeen
Our Lord, pour upon us patience and let us die as Muslims [in submission to You]. (7:126)
Du’a of Prophet Musa (as). Du’a for sabr (patience), perseverance, and a prayer requesting Allah to let us die righteously. This
was recited after Firawn resorted to persecution and threatened Musa (as) after he threw his staff and established the truth
among all those who disbelieved.

‫َر َّبَنٓا ِإَّنَك َتْع َلُم َم ا ُنْخ ِفى َو َم ا ُنْع ِلُن ۗ َو َم ا َيْخ َفٰى َع َلى ٱِهَّلل ِم ن َش ْى ٍۢء ِفى ٱَأْلْر ِض َو اَل ِفى‬
‫ٱلَّس َم ٓاِء‬
Rabbanaaa innaka ta’lamu maa nukhfee wa maa nu’lin; wa maa yakhfaa ‘alal laahi min
shai’in fil ardi wa laa fis samaaa
Our Lord, indeed You know what we conceal and what we declare, and nothing is
hidden from Allah on the earth or in the heaven. (14:38)
Du’a showing complete trust and reliance on Allah (swt). This du’a is a reminder that Allah is all knowing and all powerful.
That nothing can be hidden from Allah (swt). He knows the intent behind our actions, whether they be sincere or disingenuous.

‫َر ِّب اْج َع ْلِني ُمِقيَم الَّص اَل ِة َو ِم ْن ُذ ِّر َّيِتيۚ َر َّبَنا َو َتَقَّبْل ُد َع ٓاِء‬
Rabbij ‘alnee muqeemas Salaati wa min zurriyyatee Rabbanaa wa taqabbal du’aaa
My Lord, make me an establisher of prayer, and [many] from my descendants.
Our Lord, and accept my supplication. (14:40)
Du’a of Prophet Ibrahim (as) asking Allah to make ourselves and the future generations good Muslims and remain steadfast in
prayer

‫َر َّبَنا ٱۡغ ِفۡر ِلي َو ِلَٰو ِلَد َّي َو ِلۡل ُم ۡؤ ِمِنيَن َيۡو َم َيُقوُم ٱۡل ِح َس اُب‬

established. (14:41)

‫َر َّبَنآ َء ِتَنا ِم ْن َلُد ْنَك َر ْح َم ًة َو َهِّيْئ َلَنا ِم ْن َأْم ِرَنا َر َش ًدا‬
Rabbanaaa aatinaa mil ladunka rahmatanw wa haiyi’ lanaa min amrinaa rashadaa
Our Lord, grant us from Yourself mercy and prepare for us from our affair right
guidance. (18:10)
Du’a seeking Allah’s (swt) approval, mercy, provision, and patience. This du’a is found in Surah Kahf (‘the cave’) and was
recited by the young men who fled their city fearing persecution for practicing their religion and found refuge in the cave. They
turned to their creator asking for guidance in those tough times and their prayers were answered.
 ‫َر َّبَنا َو ِس ۡع َت ُك َّل َش ۡي ٖء َّر ۡح َم ٗة َو ِع ۡل ٗم ا َفٱۡغ ِفۡر ِلَّلِذ يَن َتاُبوْا َو ٱَّتَبُعوْا َس ِبيَلَك َو ِقِهۡم َع َذ اَب‬
‫ٱۡل َج ِح يِم‬
Rabbanaa wasi’ta kulla shai’ir rahmatanw wa ‘ilman faghfir lillazeena taaboo wattaba’oo
sabeelaka wa qihim ‘azaabal Jaheem
Our Lord, You have encompassed all things in mercy and knowledge, so forgive
those who have repented and followed Your way and protect them from the
punishment of Hellfire. (40:7)
This du’a asks Allah (swt) to be merciful towards all those who believe and have sought istighfar (repentance) from their creator.

‫ر‬ٞ‫َر َّبَنٓا َأۡت ِم ۡم َلَنا ُنوَر َنا َو ٱۡغ ِفۡر َلَنۖٓا ِإَّنَك َع َلٰى ُك ِّل َش ۡي ٖء َقِد ي‬
Rabbanaaa atmim lanaa nooranaa waghfir lana innaka ‘alaa kulli shai’in qadeer
Our Lord, perfect for us our light and forgive us. Indeed, You are over all things
competent. (66:8)
On the day of judgment the believing men and women will have a light illuminating from their right hands. The hypocrites will
find themselves stumbling in darkness. This du’a asks Allah (swt) to perfect our light on that day and to forgive us our sins.

‫َر ِّب ِإِّني ِلَم ا َأْنَز ْلَت ِإَلَّي ِم ْن َخ ْيٍر َفِقيٌر‬

Rabbi inni lima anzalta illayya min khayrin faqir
My Lord, indeed I am, for whatever good You would send down to me, in need (28:24)

before a journey. This dua was made by Prophet Musa (as) after escaping the Pharoh from persecution, he said this dua to seek
refuge from Allah and Allah provided him with not just shelter, but a job and family and security.

Allah! There is no god ˹worthy of worship˺ except Him, the Ever-Living, All-
Sustaining. Neither drowsiness nor sleep overtakes Him. To Him belongs
whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on the earth. Who could possibly
intercede with Him without His permission? He ˹fully˺ knows what is ahead of
them and what is behind them, but no one can grasp any of His knowledge—
except what He wills ˹to reveal˺. His Seat1 encompasses the heavens and the
 earth, and the preservation of both does not tire Him. For He is the Most High,
the Greatest

Bestower of Faith, the Overseer, the Exalted in Might, the Compeller, the
Superior. Exalted is Allah above whatever they associate with Him. He is
Allah , the Creator, the Inventor, the Fashioner; to Him belong the best names.
Whatever is in the heavens and earth is exalting Him. And He is the Exalted in
Might, the Wise. (Surah Al-Hashr 59:22-24)
