“Our Lord, accept [this] from us. Indeed You are the Hearing, the Knowing.”
(Quran 2:127)
You can recite this supplication anytime you wish for Allah (SWT) to accept the good deeds you’ve just performed. It is the du’a that Prophet Ibrahim (AS) recited after constructing the Kaaba with his son.
2. Dua for Guidance and Forgiveness
رَبَّنَا وَاجْعَلْنَا مُسْلِمَیْنِ لَكَ وَمِن ذُرِّیَّتِنَآ أُمَّةً مُّسْلِمَةً لَّكَ وَأَرِنَا مَنَاسِكَنَا وَتُبْ عَلَیْنَآ إِنَّكَ أَنتَ التَّوَّابُ الرَّحِیمُ
“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.”
Quran 2:128
This du’a serves as a declaration of your faith in Islam. It is also a powerful prayer that seeks success and blessings for the entire Muslim Ummah. It is the same du’a recited by Prophet Ibrahim (AS) after building the Kaaba with his son.
3. Dua for Blessings in This World and the Hereafter
رَبَّنَآ ءَاتِنَا فِى ٱلدُّنْيَا حَسَنَةً وَفِى ٱلْءَاخِرَةِ حَسَنَةً وَقِنَا عَذَابَ ٱلنَّارِ
“Our Lord, give us in this world [that which is] good and in the Hereafter [that which is] good and protect us from the punishment of the Fire.”
Quran 2:201
Indeed, this is one of the most beautiful duas a believer can recite. It asks for goodness in this world while also seeking blessings for the afterlife. “So remember Me, and I will remember you. Be grateful to Me and do not be ungrateful.” (2:152)
4. Dua for Patience, Steadfastness, and Victory
رَبَّنَآ أَفْرِغْ عَلَیْنَا صَبْراً وَثَبِّتْ أَقْدَامَنَا وَانصُرْنَا عَلَى القَوْمِ الكَافِرِینَ

Quran 2:286

رَبَّنَا وَلَا تَحْمِلْ عَلَيْنَآ إِصْرًا كَمَا حَمَلْتَهُۥ عَلَى ٱلَّذِينَ مِن قَبْلِنَا
“Our Lord, and lay not upon us a burden like that which You laid upon those before us.”
Quran 2:286
This is a dua asking Allah (SWT) to make the path of righteousness easy for the believers. It is a plea for life’s trials to be ones that we can endure and overcome, and for them to not be more difficult than the tests faced by those before us.
7. Dua for Mercy, Ease, and Divine Help
رَبَّنَا وَلَا تُحَمِّلْنَا مَا لَا طَاقَةَ لَنَا بِهِۦ ۖ وَٱعْفُ عَنَّا وَٱغْفِرْ لَنَا وَٱرْحَمْنَآ ۚ أَنتَ مَوْلَىٰنَا فَٱنصُرْنَا عَلَى ٱلْقَوْمِ ٱلْكَٰفِرِينَ
“Our Lord, and burden us not with that which we have no ability to bear. And pardon us; and forgive us; and have mercy upon us. You are our protector, so give us victory over the disbelieving people.”
Quran 2:286
The final two verses of Surah Al-Baqarah contain three powerful duas that can be recited together or individually. These verses are among the most memorized in the Qur’an. The Messenger of Allah (صلى الله عليه وسلم) said: “Whoever recites the last two verses of Surah Al-Baqarah at night, they will be sufficient for him.”
8. Dua for Guidance and Protection of the Heart
رَبَّنَا لاَ تُزِغْ قُلُوبَنَا بَعْدَ إِذْ ھَدَیْتَنَا وَھَبْ لَنَا مِن لَّدُنكَ رَحْمَةً إِنَّكَ أَنتَ الْوَھَّابُ
“Our Lord, let not our hearts deviate after You have guided us and grant us from Yourself mercy. Indeed, You are the Bestower.”
Quran 3:8
This is another beautiful dua a believer can recite, asking for Allah’s mercy (rahma). The believer recognizes that all things are made possible through Allah (SWT). In this supplication, we ask Allah to make us among those who are guided, and to protect our hearts from swerving once we have embraced the truth, regardless of our environment or circumstances.
9. Dua for the Day of Judgment and Divine Promise
رَبَّنَآ إِنَّكَ جَامِعُ ٱلنَّاسِ لِيَوْمٍ لَّا رَيْبَ فِيهِ ۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ لَا يُخْلِفُ ٱلْمِيعَادَ
“Our Lord, surely You will gather the people for a Day about which there is no doubt. Indeed, Allah does not fail in His promise.”

Quran 3:16
This is a dua for repentance and protection, where we ask Allah (SWT) for forgiveness and to safeguard us from the punishment of the Hellfire. “[Remember] when you called upon your Lord for help, and He responded, ‘Indeed, I will support you with a thousand angels, one after another.’” (8:9)
11. Dua for Faith, Obedience, and Witnessing
رَبَّنَآ ءَامَنَّا بِمَآ أَنزَلْتَ وَٱتَّبَعْنَا ٱلرَّسُولَ فَٱكْتُبْنَا مَعَ ٱلشَّٰھِدِینَ
“Our Lord, indeed we have believed, so forgive us our sins and protect us from the punishment of the Fire”
Quran 3:16
A dua of faith and devotion, asking Allah (SWT) to record us among those who bear witness to the truth. In the Qur’an, Allah tells us how He saved Isa (AS) from those who plotted against him: “[Mention] when Allah said, ‘O Jesus, indeed I will take you and raise you to Myself and purify [i.e., free] you from those who disbelieve.’” (3:55)
12. Dua for Forgiveness, Steadfastness, and Victory

“Our Lord, You did not create this aimlessly; exalted are You [above such a thing]; then protect us from the punishment of the Fire.”
Quran 3:191
A dua praising Allah (SWT) and seeking His protection from Jahannam (the Fire). When we reflect on the world around us, we witness the complexity and perfect order in Allah’s creation—nothing is made without purpose. This supplication is an expression of gratitude, recognizing the beauty of life. It continues by asking Allah (SWT) for protection on the Day of Judgment and salvation from the punishment of the Fire.
14. Dua for Seeking Allah’s Mercy and Justice
رَبَّنَآ إِنَّكَ مَن تُدْخِلِ ٱلنَّارَ فَقَدْ أَخْزَيْتَهُۥ ۖ وَمَا لِلظَّٰلِمِينَ مِنْ أَنصَارٍ
“Our Lord, indeed whoever You admit to the Fire – You have disgraced him, and for the wrongdoers there are no helpers.”
Quran 3:192
We may not often reflect on where we came from, but eventually, we begin to think about where we are headed. We start to contemplate the consequences of our actions, recognizing the importance of cause and effect. This supplication serves as a powerful reminder and motivation to stay mindful of our path, knowing the ultimate fate of the wrongdoers.

When he woke up, he wiped the traces of sleep from his face and then recited the last ten verses of Surah Aal-e-Imran until he completed them.

This supplication was recited by Isa (Jesus) (AS), asking for sufficient food for himself and his followers. In response, Allah (SWT) declares in the following verse, “I am going to send it down to you, but whoever among you disbelieves afterward, I will punish him with a punishment I have not inflicted on anyone else in the worlds.” (5:115)

“Our Lord, we have wronged ourselves, and if You do not forgive us and have mercy upon us, we will surely be among the losers.”
Quran 7:23
A dua for repentance (tawbah). From Prophet Adam (AS), we learn the importance of acknowledging our mistakes and turning to Allah (SWT) in sincere remorse. Admitting our faults and feeling regret is a beautiful reflection of faith and devotion. In this supplication, we seek Allah’s forgiveness and strive to avoid repeating our mistakes. This is the dua Prophet Adam (AS) recited after his transgression in Paradise.

رَبَّنَا لاَ تَجْعَلْنَا مَعَ الْقَوْمِ الظَّالِمِینَ
“Our Lord, do not place us with the wrongdoing people.”
Quran 7:47
We should recognize that we are shaped by the company we keep. While we may intellectually understand that the fate of wrongdoers is grim, in our daily lives, we can become blind to this reality as it unfolds gradually. It’s only when the end result is revealed that we realize the mistake in our judgment, but by then, it is often too late. This dua seeks Allah’s protection from falling victim to such a fate.
22. Dua for Justice and Divine Judgment

“Our Lord, decide between us and our people in truth, and You are the best of those who give decision.”
Quran 7:89
A dua of Prophet Suhaib (AS).

It is not for us to return to it unless Allah, our Lord, wills. Our Lord’s knowledge encompasses all things.” He then recited the following supplication to Allah.
23. Dua for Patience and a Righteous Death
رَبَّنَآ أَفْرِغْ عَلَيْنَا صَبْرًا وَتَوَفَّنَا مُسْلِمِينَ
“Our Lord, pour upon us patience and let us die as Muslims [in submission to You].”
Quran 7:126

“Our Lord, make us not [objects of] trial for the wrongdoing people. And save us by Your mercy from the disbelieving people.”
Quran 10:85-86
This is a prayer recited by the companions of Musa (AS), seeking protection from evil and unjust individuals.

26. Dua for the Acceptance of Our Prayers and Supplications
رَبِّ اجْعَلْنِي مُقِيمَ الصَّلَاةِ وَمِنْ ذُرِّيَّتِي ۚ رَبَّنَا وَتَقَبَّلْ دُعَآءِ
“My Lord, make me an establisher of prayer, and [many] from my descendants. Our Lord, and accept my supplication.”
Quran 14:40
This is a du’a of Prophet Ibrahim (AS), who, aware of the mistakes of past communities, prays to Allah (SWT) to guide both himself and future generations to be righteous Muslims.

“Our Lord, forgive me and my parents and the believers the Day the account is established.”
Quran 14:41
This is a du’a of Prophet Ibrahim (AS), recommended for asking Allah (SWT) to forgive both yourself and your parents.

“Our Lord, grant us from Yourself mercy and prepare for us from our affair right guidance.”
Quran 18:10
This du’a is a plea for Allah’s (SWT) approval, mercy, provision, and patience. It is found in Surah Kahf, where it was recited by the young men who fled their city to escape persecution for practicing their faith. Seeking refuge in a cave, they turned to their Creator for guidance during their trials, and their prayers were answered.
29. Dua for Protection from Oppression and Harm
رَبَّنَآ إِنَّنَا نَخَافُ أَن يَفْرُطَ عَلَيْنَآ أَوْ أَن يَطْغَى
“Our Lord, indeed we are afraid that he will hasten [punishment] against us or that he will transgress.”
Quran 20:45
This is the du’a recited by both Harun (AS) and Musa (AS). Standing up for what is right can be daunting, especially when we witness injustice around us. Harun (AS) and Musa (AS) also faced immense fear when confronting Firawn, and they turned to Allah for help. In response, Allah assured them with the words, “Do not be afraid. I am surely with you both; I hear and I see.”

Quran 25:74

Quran 35:34
The Qur’an describes this as the du’a that a believer will recite when entering the Garden of Eden. They will praise and thank Allah (swt) endlessly for His forgiveness and gratitude. Despite our imperfections and shortcomings, Allah (swt) forgives us and values the small deeds we performed during our lifetime. These deeds are small because we can never truly earn the full reward of paradise through our actions. In this du’a, Allah is invoked by His beautiful names, Al-Ghafoor (The Most Forgiving) and Ash-Shakur (The Most Appreciative), reflecting His mercy and grace.
34. Seeking Allah’s Boundless Mercy and Protection from the Fire

Indeed, it is You who is the Exalted in Might, the Wise. And protect them from the evil consequences [of their deeds]. And he whom You protect from evil consequences that Day – You will have given him mercy. And that is the great attainment.”

This du’a seeks the reunion of the believers with their descendants in Jannah, reuniting with their forefathers, spouses, and children.

It serves as a reminder of our unity as one Ummah, urging us not to harbor resentment or hatred. Instead, we should maintain love and kindness in our hearts for each other, resisting any feelings of envy over the blessings Allah (swt) bestows on others.
37. Dua Acknowledging Allah’s Compassion and Mercy
رَبَّنَآ إِنَّكَ رَؤُوفٌ رَّحِیمٌ
“Our Lord, indeed You are Kind and Merciful.”
Quran 59:10
A du’a of praise invoking two of Allah’s noble names and attributes. The first, Ar-Ra’uf, signifies the Most Kind and Compassionate, the one who shows immense kindness. The second, Ar-Raheem, denotes the Most Merciful, the one who bestows unparalleled mercy upon His creations.
