Duas Of The Prophets


Duas Of The Prophets

اَللَّهُمَّ اِنَّكَ عَفُوٌّ ، تُحِبُّ الْعَفْوَ فَاعْفُ عَنِّي
O Allah You Are The One Who Forgives Greatly,
And Loves To Forgive So Forgive Me

Allah, The Almighty Is The Supreme Creator And We Are His
 Best Creation. He Is Our Patron (Rabb) And We Are His Subjects.
 He Provides Us With Food And Shelter And Only He Can Relieve
 Us From All Kinds Of Sufferings. When In Need Or Distress, 
We Have No One To Turn To Except Allah. Allah Is Well
 Aware Of That And He Appreciates It When We Humbly, 
Sincerely, Honestly And With All Humility Ask Him For Blessings 
Grace, Bounties And Provision. And He Grants Us Whatever He 
Thinks Is Better For Us.When We Read The Quran, We Realize
 That Even The Messengers Or Prophets Of God Begged Allah 
Through Supplications For His Mercy And Blessings To Get Out 
Of Troubles. We Can Ask Allah For His Help And Mercy In Any
 Way And Manner (And In Any Language) We Think Is Suitable.
 He Knows And Understands Everything, Even The Secrets 
Hidden In Our Hearts. And He Grants Us What He Wills.

Allah Is The Most Merciful, The Compassionate And The 
Benevolent. He Revealed The Quran To Prophet Muhammad (S.A.W.) 
To Guide Him (And Us) And Teach Him (And Us) How To Live 
On The Earth. The Quran Is The Word Of God And It Also
 Teaches Us How To Ask God For His Mercy And Blessings. 
Therefore, It Is Only Logical And Reasonable That We Ask Allah
 For Help And Mercy By Using The Phrases (Verses) He 
Taught Us In The Quran.

I Have Selected A Few Supplications (Dua) From The Holy Quran 
That I Consider Are The Most Effective, Popular And Yield Quick 
Results. Even The Prophets And Messengers Of Allah Have Used 
Them To Get Mercy And Blessings From The Lord Almighty.

During The Holy Rites Of Hajj/Umrah, Allah Suggested That We 
Pray (Dua) In The Following Words And Allah Would Grant Us What 
We Have Earned (Paradise) With Our Righteous Deeds. Allah Will
 Bless Us With His Mercy And Bounties Not Only In This World 
But Also In The Hereafter.

(رَبَّنَا آتِنَا فِي الدُّنْيَا حَسَنَةً وَفِي الآخِرَةِ
حَسَنَةً وَقِنَا عَذَابَ النَّارِ)
"Our Lord! Give Us Good In This Word And
Good In The Hereafter, And Protect Us From
The Torment Of The Hellfire!"
Al-Quran 2:201
During The Famous Encounter Between David And Goliath, 
The Believers, Who Were Very Few In Number Against The Army
 Of Goliath, Had Put Their Trust In Allah, And Steadfastly Persevered.
 While Facing The Strong Army Of Goliath, Prophet David And His
 Followers Prayed To Allah With The Following Words (Dua). So,
 Allah Granted Them Victory And David Slew Goliath:

(رَبَّنَا أَفْرِغْ عَلَيْنَا صَبْرًا وَثَبِّتْ أَقْدَامَنَا
وَانصُرْنَا عَلَى الْقَوْمِ الْكَافِرِينَ)
"Our Lord! Bestow Endurance On Us And
Make Our Steps Firm. Help Us (With Victory)
Against The Unbelievers"
Al-Quran 2:250
Here’s A Well-Known Supplication (Dua) Of All Prophets And 
Their Followers. It Is The Last Verse Of Surah Al-Baqara. 
This Is The Best Supplication (Dua) In The Holy Quran And It 
Works Well In Every Situation, Under All Circumstances. This Has 
Been Suggested By Allah To The Believers. Allah Said That Prophets 
And Their Followers Have Supplicated With This Dua:

(رَبَّنَا لاَ تُؤَاخِذْنَا إِن نَّسِينَا أَوْ أَخْطَأْنَا رَبَّنَا وَلاَ تَحْمِلْ عَلَيْنَا
إِصْرًا كَمَا حَمَلْتَهُ عَلَى الَّذِينَ مِن قَبْلِنَا رَبَّنَا وَلاَ تُحَمِّلْنَا
مَا لاَ طَاقَةَ لَنَا بِهِ وَاعْفُ عَنَّا وَاغْفِرْ لَنَا وَارْحَمْنَا
أَنتَ مَوْلاَنَا فَانصُرْنَا عَلَى الْقَوْمِ الْكَافِرِينَ)
"Our Lord! Condemn Us Not If We Forget Or Fall
Into Error; 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 Strength
To Bear. Blot Out Our Sins, And Grant Us Forgiveness.
Have Mercy On Us. You Are Our Protector; Help Us
Against Those Who Stand Against Faith."
Al-Quran 2:286
Allah Says That Those Who Are Blessed With The Knowledge Of 
Truth By The Mercy Of God (Men Of Understanding), They Pray (Dua)
 To The Almighty By Saying:

رَبَّنَا لاَ تُزِغْ قُلُوبَنَا بَعْدَ إِذْ هَدَيْتَنَا وَهَبْ لَنَا
مِنْ  لَّدُنْكَ رَحْمَةً إِنَّكَ أَنْتَ ٱلْوَهَّابُ
"Our Lord!" (They Say), "Let Not Our Hearts Deviate
Now After You Have Guided Us, But Grant Us Mercy
From Your Own Presence; For You Are The Grantor
Of Bounties Without Measure”.

 Faithful Servants (And Will Grant Them Paradise) Who Are Patient,

"Our Lord! We Have Indeed Believed;
Forgive Us Then, Our Sins, And Save Us
From The Agony Of The Fire."
Al-Quran 3:16
Prophet Zachariah (Zakaria) Was Very Impressed By The Incredible
 Way Allah Took Care Of The Needs Of Mary (Maryam, The Mother Of 
Prophet Jesus). So, Zachariah Also Sought Allah’s Favor With This 
Prayer (Dua) And Allah Answered His Prayers By Giving Him The Glad
 Tiding Of A Son (Yahya) Even At His Old Age:

رَبِّ هَبْ لِى مِنْ  لَّدُنْكَ ذُرِّيَّةً طَيِّبَةً إِنَّكَ سَمِيعُ ٱلدُّعَآءِ
"O My Lord! Grant Unto Me From You A
Progeny That Is Pure, For You Are He That
Hears Prayer!”
Al-Quran 3:38
Prophet Zakaria Was Very Old And His Wife Was Unable To Bear
 Children. So, He Cried Before Allah And Asked For An Heir (Son). 
He Prayed With The Following Dua And Allah Gave Him The Glad 
Tiding Of A Son Named Yahya, At That Old Age:

رَبِّ لاَ تَذَرْنِى فَرْداً وَأَنتَ خَيْرُ ٱلْوَارِثِينَ
"O My Lord! Leave Me Not Without Offspring,
Though You Are The Best Of Inheritors."
Al-Quran 21:89
When Prophet Jesus Asked His Disciples: Who’ll Help Me In The 
Cause Of Allah? The Disciples Answered: We Are Allah’s Helpers. 
We Believe In Allah As We Are Muslims. Then They Prayed (Dua) To

"Our Lord! We Believe In What You Have Revealed,
And We Follow The Messenger; Then Write Us
Down Among Those Who Bear Witness."
Al-Quran 3:53
Many Prophets Of Allah And Their Faithful Followers Fought In 
The Way Of Allah. They Were Injured, Even Brutally Killed, But They 
Never Lost Their Faith (Iman) In Allah. They Were Patient, Steadfast 
And They Always Prayed (Dua) With These Words:

ربَّنَا ٱغْفِرْ لَنَا ذُنُوبَنَا وَإِسْرَافَنَا فِىۤ أَمْرِنَا
وَثَبِّتْ أَقْدَامَنَا وٱنْصُرْنَا عَلَى ٱلْقَوْمِ ٱلْكَافِرِينَ
"Our Lord! Forgive Us Our Sins And Anything
We May Have Done That Transgressed Our Duty.
Establish Our Feet Firmly, And Help Us Against
Those That Resist Faith."
Al-Quran 3:147
The Righteous People Who Glorify Allah For All His Creation In 
The Heavens And The Earth, They Don’t Get Tired Of Praying And
 Praising Allah. They Submit To Allah And Pray (Dua) For Their Salvation:

رَبَّنَآ مَا خَلَقْتَ هٰذَا بَاطِلاً سُبْحَانَكَ فَقِنَا عَذَابَ النَّارِ
رَبَّنَآ إِنَّكَ مَنْ تُدْخِلِ ٱلنَّارَ فَقَدْ أَخْزَيْتَهُ وَمَا لِلظَّالِمِينَ مِنْ أَنْصَارٍ
رَّبَّنَآ إِنَّنَآ سَمِعْنَا مُنَادِياً يُنَادِى لِلإِيمَانِ أَنْ آمِنُواْ بِرَبِّكُمْ
فَآمَنَّا رَبَّنَا فَٱغْفِرْ لَنَا ذُنُوبَنَا وَكَفِّرْ عَنَّا سَيِّئَاتِنَا وَتَوَفَّنَا مَعَ ٱلأَبْرَارِ
رَبَّنَا وَآتِنَا مَا وَعَدتَّنَا عَلَىٰ رُسُلِكَ وَلاَ تُخْزِنَا
يَوْمَ ٱلْقِيَامَةِ إِنَّكَ لاَ تُخْلِفُ ٱلْمِيعَادَ
“Our Lord! Not In Vain Have You Created (All)
This! Glory To You! Give Us Salvation From The
Penalty Of The Fire. Our Lord! Any Whom You
Do Admit To The Fire, Truly You Cover With Shame,
And Never Will Wrong-Doers Find Any Helpers!
Our Lord! Lo! We Have Heard A Caller Calling Unto
Faith: "Believe You In Your Lord!" So We Believed,
Our Lord! Therefore, Forgive Us Our Sins, And Remit
From Us Our Evil Deeds, And Make Us Die The Death
Of The Righteous. Our Lord! Grant Us What You Have
Promised To Us Through Your Messengers, And Save
Us From Shame On The Day Of Judgment. For You
Never Break Your Promise.”
Al-Quran 3:191-194
Adam & Eve Disobeyed Allah And, Being Under The Influence 
Of The Satan (Devil), Ate The Fruit From The Forbidden Tree. As A Result,
 They Were Expelled From Paradise. They Repented Immediately And
 Sought Forgiveness From Allah With This Prayer (Dua):

رَبَّنَا ظَلَمْنَآ أَنفُسَنَا وَإِن لَّمْ تَغْفِرْ لَنَا
وَتَرْحَمْنَا لَنَكُونَنَّ مِنَ ٱلْخَاسِرِينَ

Company Of The Wrong-Doers."

During His Time, Pharoah Was The Biggest Tyrant On Earth. 
When Moses Started Delivering The Message Of God To The People 
Of Egypt, Most Of Them Rejected It. Only A Handful Of Youngsters From

Pharoah And His Officials. Allah Inspired Moses Who Told His Few 
Followers To Supplicate (Dua) Like This:

عَلَىٰ ٱللَّهِ تَوَكَّلْنَا رَبَّنَا لاَ تَجْعَلْنَا فِتْنَةً لِّلْقَوْمِ ٱلظَّالِمِينَ

In The Court Of The Pharoah, During The Encounter Between 
Prophet Moses And The Magicians Of Pharoah, The Magicians Lost.
 When They Saw The Miracle Of Moses, They Were Immediately 
Convinced That He Was A Prophet Of God, Not A Magician. So, 
They Surrendered And Accepted God Of Moses As The True God. 
Pharoah Got Furious And Wanted To Punish Them By Cutting Their 
Hands And Feet. At That Time They Prayed To Allah For Mercy With 
These Words:

رَبَّنَآ أَفْرِغْ عَلَيْنَا صَبْراً وَتَوَفَّنَا مُسْلِمِينَ
Our Lord! Bestow Upon Us Patience And
Steadfastness, And Take Our Souls Unto You
As Muslims!”

فَقُلْ حَسْبِىَ ٱللَّهُ لاۤ إِلَـٰهَ إِلاَّ هُوَ عَلَيْهِ تَوَكَّلْتُ
وَهُوَ رَبُّ ٱلْعَرْشِ ٱلْعَظِيمِ
“Say: Allah Is Sufficient For Me. There Is No
God But He. On Him Is My Trust – He The Lord
Of The Throne (Of Glory) Supreme!"
Al-Quran 9:129
And This Is The Invocation (Dua) Of Prophet Noah. When He 
Boarded The Ark(Ship) And Begged Allah To Save His Unbelieving 
Son To Accompany Him On The Ship, Allah Sternly Warned Noah
 Against Such Ignorance. Noah Went To Repent Immediately And
 Supplicated His Lord With This Dua:

رَبِّ إِنِّيۤ أَعُوذُ بِكَ أَنْ أَسْأَلَكَ مَا لَيْسَ لِى بِهِ عِلْمٌ
وَإِلاَّ تَغْفِرْ لِى وَتَرْحَمْنِيۤ أَكُن مِّنَ ٱلْخَاسِرِينَ

On Me, I Should Indeed Be Lost!"
Al-Quran 11:47
The Following Supplication Is A Very Famous Dua Of Prophet 
Ibrahim (Abraham), Who Was The Father Of All Three Major Semitic
 Religions Of The World (Judaism, Christianity & Islam). When He
 Completed The Construction Of The ‘House Of God’  Kaabah,
 (At Makkah) In The Company Of His Eldest Son Ishmael, He Raised 
His Hands And Prayed To Allah With This Dua:

رَبَّنَا ٱغْفِرْ لِى وَلِوَالِدَىَّ وَلِلْمُؤْمِنِينَ يَوْمَ يَقُومُ ٱلْحِسَابُ
“O My Lord! Make Me One Who Establishes Regular
Prayer, And Also (Raise Such) Among My Offspring,
O Our Lord! And Accept My Prayer. O Our Lord!

And (All) Believers, On The Day That The Reckoning
Will Be Established!”

‘Praise & Glory’ (‘Maqaam-An Mahmooda’):

صِدْقٍ وَٱجْعَل لِّى مِن لَّدُنْكَ سُلْطَاناً نَّصِيراً
Say: "O My Lord! Let My Entry Be By The Gate Of
Truth And Honour, And Likewise My Exit By The Gate
Of Truth And Honour; And Grant Me From Your
Presence An Authority To Aid (Me)."
Al-Quran 17:80
When Prophet Jesus Started Spreading The True Message Of God, 
Condemning The Practices Of The Corrupt Jews, The People In Power 
And The Rich Elite Started Persecuting His Followers. The True Believers 
Ran For Their Lives And Hid Wherever It Was Safe For Them. A Group Of 
Them Fled The City And Took Refuge In A Cave And They Were Called 
“People Of The Cave” (‘Ass-Haab Al-Kahf’). They Prayed To Allah With
 This Dua:

رَبَّنَآ آتِنَا مِن لَّدُنكَ رَحْمَةً وَهَيِّئْ لَنَا مِنْ أَمْرِنَا رَشَداً
"Our Lord! Bestow On Us Mercy From You, And
Dispose Of Our Affair For Us In The Right Way!"
Al-Quran 18:10
When God Commanded Prophet Moses To Go To Pharaoh And 
Deliver The Message Of Tawheed, Moses Did Not Feel Comfortable
 As He Lacked Self-Confidence. When God Gave Him The Signs Of 
Miracle, Moses Prayed To God With This Dua:

قَالَ رَبِّ ٱشْرَحْ لِى صَدْرِي وَيَسِّرْ لِيۤ أَمْرِي
وَٱحْلُلْ عُقْدَةً مِّن لِّسَانِي يَفْقَهُواْ قَوْلِي

 Increase Of Knowledge From Him With This Dua:

وَقُل رَّبِّ زِدْنِي عِلْماً
Say: "O My Lord! Advance Me In Knowledge."
Al-Quran 20:114
And This Is One Of The Most Famous Supplications Of The
 Prophets! When Prophet Yunus (Jonah) Got Frustrated And Angry 
With His People Who Rejected Him As Well As The Message He 
Was Trying To Deliver, He Took Off. He Wanted To Go To Some Other 
Land. During The Voyage, He Was Cast Into The Ocean By The
 Boat-People And A Whale Swallowed Him. In The Dark Belly Of The 
Whale, Prophet Yunus Cried, Repented And Sought Allah’s
 Mercy With This Dua:

لاَّ إِلَـٰهَ إِلاَّ أَنتَ سُبْحَانَكَ إِنِّى كُنتُ مِنَ ٱلظَّالِمِينَ
"There Is No God But You! Glory Be To You!
I Am Indeed Of The Wrong-Doers"
Al-Quran 21:87
In Surah Al-Mouminoon, Allah Talks To Prophet Muhammad (S.A.W.)
 And Tells Him That, If He Willed, He Could Show Him The Punishment 
He Promised To The Unbelievers, In His Lifetime. In That Case He
 (The Prophet) Should Seek Allah’s Mercy With This Dua:

وَقُلْ رَّبِّ أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ هَمَزَاتِ ٱلشَّياطِينِ
وَأَعُوذُ بِكَ رَبِّ أَن يَحْضُرُونِ
“And Say: ‘O My Lord! I Seek Refuge With
You From The Suggestions Of The Evil Ones”.
"And I Seek Refuge With You, O My Lord!
Lest They Should Come Near Me."
Al-Quran 23:97-98
On The Day Of Judgment, Allah Would Look At Those Who Used 
To Ridicule And Insult The Faithful Believers In The Earth. They 
Would Be Burning In The Hellfire And Would Beg Allah To Get Them
 Out Of The Fire. They Would Repent And Promise To Be Faithful 
Servants Of God. Allah Would Tell Them: “Begone Therein (Hell) And 
Speak Not To Me!” On The Other Hand, The Faithful Believers Who 
Used To Invoke Allah In This World With The Following Prayer (Dua) 
Would Be Rewarded With Paradise For Their Patience And Loyalty:

إِنَّهُ كَانَ فَرِيقٌ مِّنْ عِبَادِى يَقُولُونَ رَبَّنَآ آمَنَّا
فَٱغْفِرْ لَنَا وَٱرْحَمْنَا وَأَنتَ خَيْرُ ٱلرَّاحِمِينَ 
"Our Lord! We Believe, Therefore, Do You Forgive
Us, And Have Mercy Upon Us; For You Are The Best
Of Those Who Show Mercy!"
Al-Quran 23:109
Here Is The Last Verse Of Surah Al-Mouminoon, In The Holy Quran
. In The Earlier Verse Allah Says, If Anybody Calls Upon Anyone Or 
Anything Else Except Allah, His Reckoning Will Be With God On
 The Day Of Judgment. Allah Declares That The Unbelievers (Or Those 
Who Invoke Others Than Allah) Will Be The Losers On That Day. After 
This Warning, Allah Commands The Believers To Invoke Him With 
This Prayer (Dua):

وَقُل رَّبِّ ٱغْفِرْ وَٱرْحَمْ وَأنتَ خَيْرُ ٱلرَّاحِمِينَ
‘So Say: “O My Lord! Grant Me Forgiveness
And Mercy For You Are The Best Of Those
Who Show Mercy!"
Al-Quran 23:118
When People Of Noah Continued Insulting Him, Refusing To 
Listen To Him And Rejecting The Divine Message, Noah Got Frustrated.
 He Lost Hope In Those People And Prayed To God To Punish Them.
 He Was So Angry That He Wanted To Wipe Out The Entire Population 
Of The Evil-Doers. Therefore, He Invoked Allah With This Dua:

وَقَالَ نُوحٌ رَّبِّ لاَ تَذَرْ عَلَى ٱلأَرْضِ مِنَ ٱلْكَافِرِينَ دَيَّاراً
إِنَّكَ إِن تَذَرْهُمْ يُضِلُّواْ عِبَادَكَ وَلاَ يَلِدُوۤاْ إِلاَّ فَاجِراً كَفَّاراً
“And Noah, Said: ‘O My Lord! Leave Not Of The
Unbelievers, A Single One On Earth! For, If You Do Leave
(Any Of) Them, They Will But Mislead Your Devotees, And
They Will Breed None But Wicked Ungrateful Ones.
Al-Quran 71:26-27
رَّبِّ ٱغْفِرْ لِى وَلِوَالِدَىَّ وَلِمَن دَخَلَ بَيْتِىَ مُؤْمِناً
وَلِلْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَٱلْمُؤْمِنَاتِ وَلاَ تَزِدِ ٱلظَّالِمِينَ إِلاَّ تَبَاراً
O My Lord! Forgive Me, My Parents, All Who
Enter My House In Faith, And (All) Believing Men
And Believing Women; And To The Wrong-Doers
Grant You No Increase But In Perdition!"
Al-Quran 71:28
The Story Of Prophet Yusuf (Joseph) Is The Most Intriguing 
And  Interesting From Amongst All The Stories Allah Has Narrated
In The Holy Quran. At The End, When Yusuf Was Reunited With His 
Parents And Brothers, He Raised His Hands And Supplicated Allah 
With These Words (Dua):

رَبِّ قَدْ آتَيْتَنِى مِنَ ٱلْمُلْكِ وَعَلَّمْتَنِى مِن تَأْوِيلِ
ٱلأَحَادِيثِ فَاطِرَ ٱلسَّمَاوَاتِ وَٱلأَرْضِ أَنتَ وَلِيِّى
فِى ٱلدُّنُيَا وَٱلآخِرَةِ تَوَفَّنِى مُسْلِماً وَأَلْحِقْنِى بِٱلصَّالِحِينَ
"O My Lord! You Have Indeed Bestowed On Me Some
Power, And Taught Me Something Of The Interpretation
Of Dreams And Events. O You Creator Of The Heavens And
The Earth! You Are My Protector In This World And In The
Hereafter. Take My Soul (At Death) As A Muslim (Submitting
To Your Will), And Unite Me With The Righteous."
Al-Quran 12:101
Prophet Solomon Was A Gifted King Who Was Given The
 Knowledge Of The Languages Of The Birds, Animals And The 
Beasts. God Also Gave Him Control Over The Jinn Who Would
 Perform Different Jobs For Him And Obey Him. Solomon Thanked 
Allah And Prayed To Him With This Dua:

رَبِّ أَوْزِعْنِيۤ أَنْ أَشْكُرَ نِعْمَتَكَ ٱلَّتِيۤ أَنْعَمْتَ عَلَىَّ
وَعَلَىٰ وَالِدَىَّ وَأَنْ أَعْمَلَ صَالِحاً تَرْضَاهُ
وَأَدْخِلْنِى بِرَحْمَتِكَ فِى عِبَادِكَ ٱلصَّالِحِينَ
"O My Lord! So Order Me That I May Be Grateful For
Your Favors, Which You Have Bestowed On Me And
On My Parents, And That I May Work The Righteousness
That Will Please You. And Admit Me, By Your Grace.
To The Ranks Of Your Righteous Servants."
Al-Quran 27:19
