Supplications from the Qur’an
Qur'an
Dr. Shehzad Saleem

 

1. Supplication for Guidance 

اَلْـحَمْدُ لِلّهِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِيْنَ. الرَّحْمـنِ الرَّحِيْمِ. مَـالِكِ يَوْمِ الدِّيْنِ. إِيَّاكَ نَعْبُدُ وإِيَّاكَ نَسْتَعِيْنُ. اِهْدِنَــــا الصِّرَاطَ الْمُسْتَقِيْمَ. صِرَاطَ الَّذِيْنَ أَنعَمْتَ عَلَيْهِمْ غَيْرِ المَغضُوبِ عَلَيْهِمْ وَلَا الضَّالِّيْنَ.

 Gratitude is only for God, the Lord of the worlds; the Most Gracious, the Ever Merciful; Master of the Day of Judgment. [Lord!] It is only You whom we worship and it is only Your help that we seek. Bless us with the guidance of the straight path – the path of those you have blessed, not of those who have earned your wrath, nor of those who have gone astray.  (1:1-6) 

 

2. Supplication for Sustained Guidance 

رَبَّنَا لَا تُزِغْ قُلُوْبَنَا بَعْدَ إِذْ هَدَيْتَنَا وَهَبْ لَنَا مِنْ لَّدُنْكَ رَحْمَةً إِنَّكَ أَنْتَ الْوَهَّابُ.

 Our Lord! Let not our hearts go astray after You have guided us, and grant us mercy from Yourself. Truly, You are the Bestower. (3:8)

  

3. Supplication for Good in the Herein and the Hereafter 

رَبَّنَا آتِنَا فِي الدُّنْيَا حَسَنَةً وَفِي الْآخِرَةِ حَسَنَةً وَقِنَا عَذَابَ النَّارِ

 Our Lord! Grant us in this world what is good and in the Hereafter what is good, and protect us from the punishment of the Fire! (2:201)

 

4. Supplications for Forgiveness 

رَبَّنَا لَا تُؤَاخِذْنَا إِنْ نَّسِيْنَا أَوْ أَخْطَأْنَا رَبَّنَا وَلَا تَحْمِلْ عَلَيْنَا إِصْرًا كَمَا حَمَلْتَهُ عَلَى الَّذِيْنَ مِنْ قَبْلِنَا رَبَّنَا وَلَا تُحَمِّلْنَا مَا لَا طَاقَةَ لَنَا بِهِ وَاعْفُ عَنَّا وَاغْفِرْ لَنَا وَارْحَمْنَآ أَنْتَ مَوْلَانَا فَانْصُرْنَا عَلَى الْقَوْمِ الْكَافِرِيْنَ.

Our Lord! Do not hold us accountable if we forget or make a mistake. Our Lord! Lay not on us a burden like that which You did lay on those before us. Our Lord! Lay not on us a burden greater than we have the strength to bear. Pardon us, forgive us, have mercy on us. You are our Protector and help us against the disbelievers. (2:286) 

ربَّنَا اغْفِرْ لَنَا ذُنُوْبَنَا وَإِسْرَافَنَا فِي أَمْرِنَا وَثَبِّتْ أَقْدَامَنَا وانْصُرْنَا عَلَى الْقَوْمِ الْكَافِرِيْنَ.

Our Lord! Forgive us our sins and our excesses in our affairs and ground our feet firmly, and help us against the disbelievers. (3:147) 

رَبَّنَا مَا خَلَقْتَ هَذا بَاطِلًا سُبْحَانَكَ فَقِنَا عَذَابَ النَّارِ. رَبَّنَا إِنَّكَ مَنْ تُدْخِلِ النَّارَ فَقَدْ أَخْزَيْتَهُ وَمَا لِلظَّالِمِيْنَ مِنْ أَنصَارٍ. رَبَّنَا إِنَّنَا سَمِعْنَا مُنَادِيًا يُّنَادِىْ لِلْإِيْمَانِ أَنْ آمِنُوْا بِرَبِّكُمْ فَآمَنَّا رَبَّنَا فَاغْفِرْ لَنَا ذُنُوْبَنَا وَكَفِّرْ عَنَّا سَيِّئَاتِنَا وَتَوَفَّنَا مَعَ الأبْرَارِ. رَبَّنَا وَآتِنَا مَا وَعَدْتَّنَا عَلَى رُسُلِكَ وَلَا تُخْزِنَا يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ إِنَّكَ لَا تُخْلِفُ الْمِيعَادَ.

Our Lord! You have not created [all] this without a purpose. Glory to You! Save us from the torment of the Fire. Our Lord! Indeed, those whom You admit to the Fire, indeed, You have humiliated them, and never will the unjust find any helpers. Our Lord! Indeed, we have heard a caller calling to faith: “Believe in your Lord,” and we believed. Our Lord! Forgive us our sins and take away from us our evil deeds, and make us die with your loyal people. Our Lord! Fulfill the promises you made with us through Your messengers and disgrace us not on the Day of Judgement. Indeed, You never go back on your promise. (3:191-194) 

رَبَّنَا ظَلَمْنَا أَنفُسَنَا وَإِنْ لَّـمْ تَغْفِرْلَنَا وَتَرْحَـمْنَا لَنَكُونَنَّ مِنَ الْـخَاسِرِيْنَ.

Our Lord! We have been unjust to ourselves. If You do not forgive us and not have mercy on us, we shall certainly be among the losers. (7:23)

 

رَبَّنَا اغْفِرْ لِىْ وَلِوَالِدَيَّ وَلِلْمُؤْمِنِيْنَ يَوْمَ يَقُوْمُ الْـحِسَابُ.  

Our Lord! Forgive me and my parents, and all the believers on the Day when accountability will be set up. (14:41)

 

لَّا إِلَهَ إِلَّا أَنتَ سُبْحَانَكَ إِنِّي كُنْتُ مِنَ الظَّالِمِيْنَ .

There is no deity except you. Glory be to you. I have been unjust [to myself]. (21:87)

  

5. Supplications to have Pious Children 

رَبِّ هَبْ لِيْ مِنْ لَّدُنْكَ ذُرِّيَّةً طَيِّبَةً إِنَّكَ سَـمِيْعُ الدُّعَاء.

God is sufficient for me. There is no deity except God. In Him I trust and He is the Lord of the great Throne. (9:129) 

رَّبَّنَا عَلَيْكَ تَوَكَّلْنَا وَإِلَيْكَ أَنَبْنَا وَإِلَيْكَ الْمَصِيْرُ.  

 Lord! In You we have put our trust; to You we turn, and to You we shall return. (60:4) 

حَسْبُنَا اللّهُ وَنِعْمَ الْوَكِيلُ.   

Sufficient for us is God and He is the best of Supporters. (3:173)

  

8. Supplication for Diligence in the Prayer
