Qur'anic Duas

[Fitnah Bolice]

:salams

Insha'Allah I'll start of by posting some duas from the quran which can help us in our daily lives, recently I've noticed a few ex-muslims (for want of a better word) and atheists present arguments that may effect the imaan of our brothers and sisters, so I'll start of Insha'Allah with this du'a from Surah Al-e-Imran that fellow muslims can recite daily to ask Allah swt to keep us on the true path.

رَبَّنَا لَا تُزِغۡ قُلُوبَنَا بَعۡدَ إِذۡ هَدَيۡتَنَا وَهَبۡ لَنَا مِن لَّدُنكَ رَحۡمَةً*ۚ إِنَّكَ أَنتَ ٱلۡوَهَّابُ

Transliteration;

Rabbana la tuzig quloobuna ba'da izh hadaytana wa hab lana mil ladunka rahma, inaka antal wahhab.

Translation;

"our lord let not our hearts deviate from the truth after you have guided us, and grant us mercy from you, truly you are the bestower.


Request for others to add other qur'anic dua's Insha'Allah.

[Fitnah Bolice]

Asking Allah to accept any good action which one carries out, from Surah Baqarah Ayah 127;

رَبَّنَا تَقَبَّلۡ مِنَّآ*ۖ إِنَّكَ أَنتَ ٱلسَّمِيعُ ٱلۡعَلِيمُ

Transliteration;

RABBANA TAQABBAL MINNA INNAKA
’ANTAS-SAMI-UL ALIM.

Translation;

Our Lord! Accept from us this (service); verily
You alone are the All-Hearing, the All-Knowing

This du'a was read by Ibrahim and Ismail (AS) when they completed the building of the Ka’bah.

The lesson is that a person must not be satisfied with actions only. Rather, after the action, be humble and beg Allah swt to accept it. This is taught from the action of Ibrahim (AS). After completing such a lofty action he does not express pride, rather he asks Allah (swt) to accept the action.

رَبَّنَا آتِنَا مِنْ لَدُنْكَ رَحْمَةً وَهَيِّئْ لَنَا مِنْ أَمْرِنَا رَشَدًا


Transliteration:

Rabbanaa aatinaa min ladunka rahmata wa hayyi' lanaa min amrinaa rashadaa.

Translation:

[Fitnah Bolice]

رَبَّنَا هَبۡ لَنَا مِنۡ أَزۡوَٲجِنَا وَذُرِّيَّـٰتِنَا قُرَّةَ أَعۡيُنٍ۬ وَٱجۡعَلۡنَا لِلۡمُتَّقِينَ إِمَامًا


Transliteration;

Rabanna hab lana min ’azwajina wadhurriyatina qurrata'a`yuniw-waj`alnalil-muttaqina imama.

Translation;

Our Lord! Grant us in our wives and offspring the coolness of eyes
and make us a leader of those who guard themselves against evil.


Regarding the “coolness of the eyes” Hasan Basri states: The
original coolness of the eyes is to see a persons family involved in the
obedience of Allah. The health and welfare and happiness of the
family is also included in it. Mariful Qur’an Vol. 6. P. 509

Allah’s chosen servants are not only concerned with their own
reformation and are satisfied by their good deeds alone. They are
also concerned with the reformation and actions of their wives and
children. They continue to make an effort in this regard, and part of
their effort is to make du`a also. Ibid

Qurtubi states: There can be nothing more soothing / cooling to
the eyes than seeing a person’s wife and children being obedient to
Allah I. Mazhari Vol. 8 P. 499

Ikramah says: The Mufassirin have not taken the meaning of
beauty and grace. But they say it means “to be obedient to Allah" Ibn Kathir Vol. 3 P. 342

رَبِّ اشْرَحْ لِي صَدْرِي

رَبَّنَا مَا خَلَقۡتَ هَـٰذَا بَـٰطِلاً۬ سُبۡحَـٰنَكَ فَقِنَا عَذَابَ ٱلنَّارِ (١٩١) رَبَّنَآ إِنَّكَ مَن تُدۡخِلِ ٱلنَّارَ فَقَدۡ أَخۡزَيۡتَهُ ۥ*ۖ وَمَا لِلظَّـٰلِمِينَ مِنۡ أَنصَارٍ۬ (١٩٢) رَّبَّنَآ إِنَّنَا سَمِعۡنَا مُنَادِيً۬ا يُنَادِى لِلۡإِيمَـٰنِ أَنۡ ءَامِنُواْ بِرَبِّكُمۡ فَـَٔامَنَّا*ۚ رَبَّنَا فَٱغۡفِرۡ لَنَا ذُنُوبَنَا وَڪَفِّرۡ عَنَّا سَيِّـَٔاتِنَا وَتَوَفَّنَا مَعَ ٱلۡأَبۡرَارِ (١٩٣) رَبَّنَا وَءَاتِنَا مَا وَعَدتَّنَا عَلَىٰ رُسُلِكَ وَلَا تُخۡزِنَا يَوۡمَ ٱلۡقِيَـٰمَةِ*ۗ إِنَّكَ لَا تُخۡلِفُ ٱلۡمِيعَادَ (١٩٤)

RABBANA WA ATINA MA WA`ATTANA`ALARUSULIKA WA LA TUKH-ZINA YAWMAL QIYAMAH: INNAKA LA TUKHLIFUL-MI`AD.

Translation;

Our Lord! You have not created all this (Universe) in vain. Glory be to you! Save us Lord, from the torment of the Blazing Fire. Our Lord! Whomsoever You cause to enter Hell, him You have surely disgraced, and for the wrongdoers there shall be no helpers. Our Lord! We have heard a proclaimer calling to faith (saying):'Believe in your Lord;' so we have come to believe.
Our Lord! Forgive us our sins, and wipe off our misdeeds from us and cause us (in all grace) to die with the righteous. Our Lord! Grant us that which You have promised to us through Your Apostles and disgrace us not on the Day of Reckoning. Surely You never fail in Your Promise.

The meaning of these du`a includes all the objectives/needs that a person wishes for: The final objective of any person is twofold:

1) Gaining entry into Jannat.
2) Saving onself from the fire of Jahannum.

And for these two objectives, there are two conditions.

i) Obedience and
ii) Being free from sin.

All the above are rendered in the above ayaat.

RABBANA ATMIM LANA NURANA WAGHFIR LANA. INNAKA`ALA KULLI SHAY‘IN QADIR.

Translation;

Our Lord! Perfect for us our light and forgive us; surely You are Potent over everything. (66:8)



Mujahid states that the Believers will recite this du`a at the time
when they will see that the celestial light of the Hypocrites had
disappeared on the day of Qiyamah. Ibn Kathir Vol. 4 P. 418/9

On the bridge of Sirat the Believers will see (Nur) celestial light in front of
them as well as on their right hand side. When they will see that the
(Nur) celestial light of the Hypocrites has disappeared they will recite
this du`a. The (Nur) celestial light will be in proportion to a persons
actions. Therefore the du`a is being made to perfect the celestial light.

If you read even one letter from it, you will attain that celestial light”.

Translation;

Our Lord! Avert from us the torment of Hell. Verily! Its torment is ever an inseparable, permanent punishment (25:65-66)



This du`a is a supplication which should be continuously made
by the believers. Because one of their qualities, is that despite
being obedient to Allah (SWT), they still remain in fear regarding the
punishment of Allah (SWT), and regarding the Akhirah. Because of
this fear they become practical, and continue making du`a.
Mariful Qur’an. Vol. 6. P. 504

Ali (RA) narrates that Nabi :saw: has said: Allah (SWT) sent wahi
to one Nabi of the Bani Israil (i.e. Dawud (PBUH)) “Tell the obedient
servants from your ummah not to only rely on their good actions, as on the day of
reckoning, whichever servant I wish to punish I will punish in
conformance to my (justice) and tell the disobedient servants not to
throw themselves into destruction by their own hands (i.e. they
should not give up hope of forgiveness) as I will forgive major sins also
if I wish, and I will not care (i.e. in giving anybody punishment or
forgiving anybody - Abu Naim.) Tafsir Mazhari Vol. 8 P. 486

‘Allãhumma anta rabbee, laa ‘ilãha ‘illaa ‘anta, khalaqtanee, wa a naa `abduka, wa ‘anaa `ala `ahdika wa wa’ dika mas ta ta’ `tu, a`outhu bika min sharri maa sana’ tu, aboo u laka bini’ matika ‘alayya, wa aboo u bithan bee, faghfirlee fa’innahu laa yagh fi ruthu nooba ‘illaa ‘anta.


O Allaah, You are my Lord, none has the right to be worshipped except You, You created me and I am You servant and I abide to Your covenant and promise as best I can, I take refuge in You from the evil of which I committed. I acknowledge Your favour upon me and I acknowledge my sin, so forgive me, for verily none can forgive sin except You.

Whoever says this as he enters upon evening, then, dies that night, he would enter Paradise; and if one says this as he enters upon morning, then, dies that day, he would enter Paradise”. [Bukhari]
