Supplications
Supplication (Du'a') is truly the essence of sincere
worship. It connects Muslims with their Creator and it
is a practical expression of their persisting need for
Almighty Allah.
Almighty Allah asks people to be persistent in their
du'a' and never to lose hope in beseeching Him and
Him alone. Who else except Allah would respond to our
supplication and du'a'? He Himself said: "And if My
servants ask you about me-behold-I am near; I respond
to the call of them who call, whenever they call upon
Me." So let them also listen to Me and believe in Me, in
order that they may be guided to the right way." (2: 186).
In another verse Allah urges people to make du'a':
"Your Lord said: If you beseach Me I will respond to
you." (40: 60)
However, for du'a' to be accepted and responded to,
a Muslim must be truthful, with true intention, clean and
pure heart, humble, legitimate in earning money, and
should avoid over-indulgence in worldly matters.
The best type of du'a' is one that is mentioned in the
Qur'an and the Sunnah of Prophet Muhammad (peace
be upon him).
Here are some supplications, taken from the Holy
Qur'an and the Prophet's Sunnah (pbuh). These
supplications can be used whenever du'a' is permissible.

Supplications
"O 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 what we have strength to bear, Pardon our sins,
grant us forgiveness, and grant us Your mercy.
You are our Protector, help us against the disbelievers."
The Qur'an (2: 286)
"O Allah, You are my Lord. There is no deity but You.
You have created me and I am Your servant. I try my best to hold to
Your covenant and promises as much as I can.
I seek refuge in You from the evil of what I have done.
J acknowledge Your favor to me, and acknowledge my sin.
Forgive me, for none but You forgives sins."
(Collected by Bukhari)
Our Lord! 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."
The Qur'an (3: 8)
"O Allah! I seek refuge in You from worry and sorrow.
I seek refuge in You from incapacity and sloth,
from stinginess and cowardice, and J seek refuge in You
from the burden of debt and from being transgressed by men."
(Collected by Muslim)
81

Supplications
"O Our Lord! Forgive us our sins as well as those of our brethren
who preceded us on the way of faith, and let not our hearts entertain any
hatred or malice against any of those who share with us the same belief.
Our Lord! Verily You are the Most Kind and the Most Merciful."
The Qur'an (59:10)
"O Allah! I seek refuge in You from knowledge that does not benefit,
and from a heart that does not bend, and from an ego that is not contented,
and from a supplication that is not answered."
(Collected by Muslim)
"O Our Lord! Lay open the truth between us and our people,
for You are the best of all to lay open the truth."
The Qur'an (7:89)
"O Allah! Grant my soul piety and my conscience purity.
You are the Master of my soul and the Guardian of my conscience.
(Collected by Muslim)
"Our Lord! Grant us wives and offspring who will be the comfort
of our eyes, and give us the grace to be among the highest
of the pious and righteous people."
The Qur'an (25:74)
