Duas from the Qur'an

27 adhkar

0 of 27 done

The truest supplication is the one Allah taught you to make. The Qur'an holds a ready dua for every state — for steadfastness, for patience, for offspring, for forgiveness, for the good of both worlds at once.

Gathered here are the 'Rabbana' and 'Rabbi' supplications in full, each with its surah and verse number and its meaning in plain English — because a dua you understand is not the same as a dua you merely pronounce.

Say them as they are: this is the wording Allah chose for you.

رَبَّنَا آتِنَا فِي الدُّنْيَا حَسَنَةً وَفِي الْآخِرَةِ حَسَنَةً وَقِنَا عَذَابَ النَّارِ

Rabbana atina fid-dunya hasanah, wa fil-akhirati hasanah, wa qina 'adhaban-nar

Our Lord, give us good in this world and good in the Hereafter, and protect us from the punishment of the Fire.

Source: Qur'an 2:201

Virtue: It was the supplication the Prophet ﷺ made most often.

رَبَّنَا لَا تُزِغْ قُلُوبَنَا بَعْدَ إِذْ هَدَيْتَنَا وَهَبْ لَنَا مِنْ لَدُنْكَ رَحْمَةً ۚ إِنَّكَ أَنْتَ الْوَهَّابُ

Rabbana la tuzigh qulubana ba'da idh hadaytana wa hab lana min ladunka rahmah, innaka anta-l-Wahhab.

Our Lord, do not impose blame upon us if we forget or err. Our Lord, lay not upon us a burden like that You laid upon those before us.
