"Our Lord! Bestow on us mercy from Yourself, and facilitate for us our affair in the right way!"



Note: This dua was made by the 'dwellers of the cave' whose story is mentioned in Surah Al-Kahf (18:9-22)

rabbanaa aatinaa min ladunka raḥmatan wa hayyi’ lanaa min amrinaa rashadaa

O Allah, I seek refuge with You from anxiety, and sorrow, and weakness, and laziness, and miserliness, and cowardice, and the burden of debts and from being overpowered by men.

allaa-humma innee a‛oodhu bika mi-nal-ham-mi wal-ḥazan, wal-‛ajzi wal-kasal, wal-bukhli wal-jubn, wa ḍa-la‛id-dai-ni, wa ghalaba-tir-rijaal

None has the right to be worshipped except Allah, The Magnificent, The Most Clement. None has the right to be worshipped except Allah, Lord of the magnificent throne. None has the right to be worshipped except Allah, Lord of the heavens, Lord of the Earth and Lord of the noble throne.

laa ilaaha il-lal-laahul ‛aẓeemul-ḥaleem, laa ilaaha il-lal-laahu rab-bul-‛arshil-‛aẓeem, laa ilaaha il-lal-laahu rabbus-samaa-waati wa rab-bul-arḍi wa rab-bul-‛arshil-kareem

O Allah, it is Your mercy that I hope for, so do not leave me in charge of my affairs even for a blink of an eye and rectify for me all of my affairs. None has the right to be worshipped except You.

allaahumma raḥmataka arjoo, fa laa takilnee ilaa nafsee ṭarfata ‛aynin, wa aṣliḥ lee sha’nee kullahu, laa ilaaha illaa ant

The Dua of Yunos (may the peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) when he was in the belly of the whale:

"None has the right to be worshipped except You. How far from imperfections You are, verily I was among the wrong-doers."

*The prophet of Allah (may the peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "Any Muslim who recite this du'a, his request will be granted by Allah."

laa ilaaha illaa anta subḥaanaka innee kuntu minaẓ-ẓaalimeen

Allah, Allah is my Lord, I do not associate anything with Him.

allaah-ullaahu rabbee laa ushriku bihi shay’aa

O Allah, I seek refuge with You from weakness, and laziness, cowardice and miserliness, old and infirm age, and the torment of the grave.

O Allah, give my soul piety and purify it, for indeed You are the best of those who can purify it, You are it's Guardian and Master.

O Allah, I seek refuge with You from knowledge that does not benefit, from a heart that does not get humbled [to Allah], from a soul which is never satisfied and from a supplication which does not get answered.

allaahumma innee a‛oodhu bika mi-nal-‛ajzi wal-kasal, wal-jubn wal-bukhl, wal haram wa ‛adhaabil-qabr

Allaahumma aati nafsee taq-waaha wa zak-kiha anta khairu man zak-kaaha anta wali-yuha wa maw-laaha

Allaahumma in-ni a‛oodhu bika min ‛ilmin laa yanfa‛, wa min qalbin laa yakh-sha‛, wa min naf-sin laa tashba‛, wa min du‛wat-in laa yustajaabu laha

O Allah, I seek refuge in You from absolute poverty, paucity, humiliation, and I seek refuge in You from oppressing or being oppressed.

Allaahumma inni a‛oodhu bi-ka minal-faqr, wal-qil-lah, wal-dhil-lah, wa a‛oodhu bi-ka min an aẓlima aw au uẓlam

O Allah I seek refuge with You from severe calamity, and from misery to fall upon me, and from a bad fate and from the gloating of [my] enemies.

Allaahum-ma inni a‛oodhu bika min jah-dil-balaa’, wa darak-ish-shaqaa’, wa soo’il-qaḍaa’, wa shamaata-til a‘daa’
