Ihdinas’siraat’al Mustaqeem Si’raat’al Lad’eena An-A’mta A’layhim Ghayril Maghz’’oobi A’layhim Wa Laz’’ Z’’aaalleen
“Keep us on the right path. The path of those upon whom Thou hast bestowed favors. Not (the path) of those upon whom Thy wrath is brought down, nor of those who go astray.â€‌ (Sura al-Fatiĥa, 1:6-7)
No matter how much wisdom you have, always beseech Allah to guide you in the right path, whatever the field of enquiry or activity you are taking after. Seek Allah’s help to keep you very close to the ways and means of the righteous and the pious servants of Allah (the Holy Prophet and the Ahlul Bayt), the surest road to success in this world, and to keep you away from the dishonest methods and hypocritical attitude of the astray devils (the followers of the accursed Shaytan), although they may appear profitable for a little while, but finally bring you ruin and destruction in the end.

Rabbana Taqabbal Minna Innaka Antas Samee-u’l A’leem
“…Our Lord! accept from us; surely Thou art the Hearing, the Knowing.â€‌ (Sura al-Baqara, 2:127)
Prophet Ibrahim and prophet Isma-il, while building the holy Ka’-bah prayed to Allah for the successful completion of their project. Putting in their best efforts does not make your labour fruitful, because there are many unknown and uncontrollable forces working in the universe that can bring disappointment if Allah, who not only knows but has total control over all things and events, does not help you. So always invoke Allah by reciting this verse in the traditions of His prophets, whenever you take up a job, which has not been prohibited.
Also recite this verse at the end of any good deed-after praying any wajib or sunnah salat, or when you have read whole or part of the holy Qur’an, in a single sitting, or after attending a majlis (a religious gathering for mentioning the merits of the Holy Prophet and his Ahl ul Bayt).
Recitation of this verse is also recommended for seeking fulfillment of any legitimate desires.

Supplication n. 3

Wa Id’aa Sa-alaka I’baadee A’nnee Fa Innee Qareeb Ujeebu Da’-Watad Daa-i’ Id’aa Da-a’ani Fal-Yastajeeboo Lee Wal Yoo-Minoo Bee La-A’llahum Yarshudoon
“And when My servants ask you concerning Me, then surely I am very near; I answer the prayer of the suppliant when he calls on Me, so they should answer My call and believe in Me that they may walk in the right way.â€‌(Sura al-Baqara, 2:186)
This verse tells us not to turn to anyone but Allah to ask for fulfillment of all our wants and needs, and also to make it clear that there is no other way to get satisfaction of our desires except to invoke Allah, who answers whenever called by supplicant. It brings you near to Allah and keeps you on the right path. Allah answers to the cry of help because the love of Allah for His servants is much greater than the love of a mother for her children. This dua’a may be recited as it helps to get nearness of Allah and to have complete faith in Him alone; and because Allah says he will answer whenever he is called. This verse makes the recitation of dua’a necessary and obligatory for all Muslims.
To multiply livelihood and to obtain fulfillment of legitimate desires recite this verse 700 times after performing wudu and before praying any wajib salat. It can be reduced to 70 times or 7 times according to your convenience.

Supplication n. 4

Rabbanaaa Aatinaa Fiddunyaa H’asanata Wa Fil Aakhirati H’asanata Wa Qinaa A’d’aaban Naar
“…Our Lord, give us good in this world and good in the Hereafter, and save us from the torment of Fire.â€‌ (Sura al-Baqara, 2:201)
According to this verse, short and temporary life in this world is as important as the eternal life of the hereafter.
Although good in the permanent life of the hereafter is the aim of all Muslims, but god in this world is also necessary because man has been asked by his creator to take part in all activities of this world without breaking the rules and regulations, made by Him. So beseech Him for the good in both the worlds.
This verse is generally recited as qunoot in al prayers.
It can be recited at the time of walking around (tawaf) the Holy Ka’-bah.

Supplication n. 5

Rabbanaaa Afrigh A’laynaa S’abraw Wa Thabbit Aqdamanaa Wan Surnaa A’lal Qawmil Kaafireen
“…O our Lord, pour patience down on us, and make our foothold firm, and help us against the disbelieving peopleâ€‌. (Sura al-Baqara, 2:250)
This verse teaches us to pray for grant of patience and perseverance in the face of trial and tribulations of this world so that we remain faithful to the true religion of Allah, even if deprived of the comforts of life, as these two aspects of our character make us fight our enemies and the enemies of Allah.
If we read the life account of the holy Prophet, Imam Ali and their infallible descendants, we find that their lives were the true exposition of this verse. Recite this dua’a in the times of trials, and to undo and put an end to the intrigues of your enemies.

Supplication n. 6

Rabbanaa Laa Too-Akhid’naaa In-Naseenaa Aw Akht’aanaa Rabbanaa wa Laa Tah’mil A’laynaaa Is’ran Kamaa Ha’maltahoo A’lal Lad’eena min Qablinaa Rabbanaa wa Laa Tuh’ammilnaa Maa Laa T’aaqata Lanaa Bih Wa’-Fu A’nnaa Waghfirlanaa Warh’amnaa Anta Mawlaanaa Fans’urnaa A’lal Qawmil Kaafireen
“…O our Lord, do not hold us responsible if we forget or make mistake. O our lord, do not lay on us a burden such as you laid on those before us. O our Lord, do not impose upon us that which we have not the strength (to bear). Pardon us, and forgive us, and have mercy on us. You are our lord-master, so help us against the unbelieving people.â€‌ (Sura al-Baqara, 2:286)
The right path (what to do and what not to do) has been clearly shown to man by Allah. These commandments are very easy to follow, not beyond our capacity, as the holy Prophet once said: “I have brought for you a very easy religion.â€‌
Now man is responsible for what he does. If we make mistakes, by breaking laws of Allah, we must admit our mistakes and humbly and sincerely seek forgiveness of our merciful Lord, who not only forgives faults but helps us to overcome our enemies and the enemies of Allah; and in this way, keeps away from us hardships and sorrows that they (enemies) might bring if Allah does not stop them, in answer to our supplications.
Through this prayer we pray for the triumph of truth over falsehood and the suppression of satanic tendencies by godliness, and ask Allah not to inflict on us situations under which we may not be able to avoid wrongdoing. After acknowledging our limitations we undertake to work at our maximum capacity, hoping that through his mercy He will wipe clean all traces of errors and mistakes.

Rabbanaa Laa Tuzigh Quloobanaa Ba’-Da Id’hadaytanaa Wa Hab Lanaa Mil Ladunka Rah’mah Innaka Antal Wahaab
“Our Lord! make not our hearts to deviate after Thou hast guided us aright, and grant us from Thee mercy; surely Thou art the most liberal Giverâ€‌ (Sura Ali-â€کImran, 3:8)
It is better to be careful and recite this dua’a in advance so that we may not change our heart and mind (follow another religion) after accepting the true religion of Allah, Islam, the only right path.
This prayer is a precaution to avoid possible perversion of the mind and the heart after accepting divine guidance. The purpose of our lives in this temporary and transient world is to make preparation for the eternal life of the hereafter.
To strengthen your faith recite this dua’a in every wajib as well as sunnah salat

Supplication n. 8

Allaahumma Maalikal Mulki Tu’-til Mulka Man Tashaa-u wa Tanzi-u’l Mulka Mimman Tashaa wa Tu-i’zzu Man Tashaa-u wa Tud’illu Man Tashaa Biyadikal Khayr Innaka A’laa Kulli Shay’in Qadeer Toolijul Layla Fin Nahaari wa Toolijun Nahaara Fil Layl wa Tukhrijul Mayyita Minal H’ayy wa Tarzuqu Man Tashaa-u Bighayri H’isaab
“..O Allah, Master of the Kingdom! Thou givest the kingdom to whomsoever Thou pleasest and takest away the kingdom from whomsoever Thou pleasest, and Thou exaltest whom Thou pleasest and abasest whom Thou pleasest in Thine hand is the good; surety, Thou hast power over all things. Thou makest the night to pass into the day and Thou makest the day to pass into the night, and Thou bringest forth the living from the dead and Thou bringest forth the dead from the living, and Thou givest sustenance to whom Thou pleasest without measure.â€‌ (Sura Ali-â€کImran, 3:26-27)
Sovereignty belongs to Allah. He is the Sole & Ultimate Authority in domains of creations and legislations. Everything is created by Him, so to total submission to His Will is Islam, which has been described in these verses in the form of prayer. The Holy Prophet and his Ahlulbayt have rightly advised the believers to recite this prayer at all occasions, so that the conviction in the omnipotence of the Almighty Lord permeates their hearts and minds guide them in all their physical and mental activities.
A complete resignation to Allah’s will is possible only when man believes that it is Allah who alone can do and undo things, conceivable and inconceivable, in easy and difficult. The then grace of the Lord abounds, because in his hands is all good. There should be no complaint, nor grudge, nor frustration. With total resignation to his will, man must pray and invoke his mercy to obtain fulfillment of his/her legitimate wants and needs.
He (Allah) and He alone, and no one else bestows upon whom so ever he chooses, the power to exercise the authority, in this world, or in the hereafter. To some he gives power in this world though many of them do not follow his commandments. He must not get confused. It is not our look out because our knowledge of things, persons and events is hopelessly very little.
He knows why he has done so. Abdullah Ibne Abbas said that this may verse may contain the great name of Allah, ismi azam. If this dua’a is recited with realization of its meaning, the realization of his absolute sovereignty and his exclusive rights and option, Allah will fullfil the legitimate desires of the reciter of this dua’a.
Not to be proud and arrogant after achieving success, in this world, recite this dua’a regularly.
According to the Holy Prophet whoso recites these verses daily after Fajr salaat, gets sufficient means to livelihood. Also the reciter gets enough funds to repay loans. To discard nervousness in big public gatherings, or if there is fear of insult or harm at the time of meeting a person or a group of persons recite this dua’a.

(9) When Zakariyya saw Maryam receiving her sustenance direct from Allah, he was so much convinced of His extraordinary benevolence and its miraculous nature that he beseeched Him to give him a tayyab (virtuous, blessed and good) son, he could not normally have since his wife was barren.

“O our Lord, forgive us our sins and our excesses in our affairs, and set our foothold firm, and help us against the disbelieving peopleâ€‌. (Sura Ali-â€کImran, 3:147)
The Holy Qur’an says that all the prophets of Allah who had fought in the way of Allah, never giving in to the enemies of Allah, used to recite this dua’a.
By reason of their steadfastness and their asking for protection and seeking refuge with Allah, Allah granted them victory against infidels, glorified their mission and enhanced their reputation.
As human beings we may commit mistakes and not follow the instructions given by Allah, so we must seek His forgiveness with firm determination that we will not commit such sins any more. We must also recite this dua’a to remain firm in our faith no matter what the temptations are, so that we may defeat our enemies and the enemies of Allah.The dua’a can also be recited to remove hardships and difficulties put in our way by our enemies so as to induce us to give up the right way of doing things as Allah has asked us to do.

“O our Lord, You have not created (all) this in vain. Glory be to You. Save us then from the torment of the fireâ€‌ (Sura Ali-â€کImran, 3:191)
The Holy Qur’an says that those who remember Allah all the time and try to understand the nature of His creation recite this dua’a, because in the creation of the heavens and the earth and in the difference of night and day are signs of His omnipotence for the men of understanding.
Recite this dua’a in the qunoot of tahajjud (night prayer)

“O our Lord, we have indeed heard the voice of a preacher (messenger) calling (us) to faith: “Believe in your Lord.â€‌ So we believed. Our Lord, forgive us then our sins, and remove from us our evil deeds, and make us die with the virtuousâ€‌. (Sura Ali-â€کImran, 3:193)
This is the continuation of dua’a. The wise men hear the message of Allah, and, as they have already understood the meaning of the nature of divine creation, readily accept the true faith, the belief in the one and only Allah, seeking His forgiveness for the sins they have committed in the days of ignorance; and not forgetting that Allah (alone) can keep them on the right path till the lat day of their lives in this world, invoke Him to make them die as true believers.
Make a habit of reciting this dua’a because there is nothing worth keeping with yourself except the true faith to the last breath of your life, in order to obtain permanent bliss in the next world. This world is a place of test and trial for you. Even after a whole lifetime of true faith if a person for a single insignificant moment, does not believe in the one and only Almighty Allah in the last breath of his life, he is forever condemned to fire of hell.

Rabbanaaa Afrigh A’laynaa S’abraw Wa Tawaffanaa Muslimeen

A group of master magicians, on the invitation of Pharaoh, came to show their superiority over Musa because Pharaoh wrongly thought that Musa was also a magician. The magicians threw a few ropes on the floor and they took the shape of snakes. Musa put the staff, he was holding in his hand, on the ground.
The staff changed into a python and swallowed up the snakes. Pharaoh got angry and threatened to kill them. When the magicians came to know that Musa was not a magician but a prophet of Allah, and what they saw was a miracle of Allah, they laughed at Pharaoh and recited this dua’a

O Allah, forgive me and my brother and admit us to Your mercy, You are the most merciful of the merciful. (Sura A’raaf, 7: 151).
A true faithful must always recite this dua’a to seek mercy of the merciful Lord, particularly when he is in the middle of unmanageable difficulties.
To receive the Tawrat Musa climbed the mountain of Toor and observed fast for 30 days, as directed by Allah. Musa noticed that on account of fasting his mouth was stinking, so he thought it improper to pronounce the glory of Allah with a stinking mouth, and brushed his teeth. It was considered an act of disobedience and he was required to observe fast for ten more days.
After 40 days, Musa came back to his people with the Tawrat, but he found his people worshipping the false god of the magician Saamiree. Seeing this Musa became angry and criticised his brother Haroon who was acting as his lieutenant, in his 40 days absence. Haroon explained that he tried his best to keep them on the right path and warned them against the tricks of the magician but they paid no attention to his advice, so his brother (Musa) should have not included hi in the group of his unjust followers. Musa on hearing the explanation of Haroon recited this dua’a.
It is highly recommended to read this dua’a as qunoot in all prayers

Recite this dua’a again and again to take stock of your mistakes and faults so as to avoid them in future, and to seek Allah’s protection and forgiveness with firm determination that you will live an honest and pious life to deserve His mercy.
According to the Holy Qur’an, Musa chose of his people 70 men, who insisted upon seeing Allah with their own eyes, for an appointed tryst on the mountain. As soon as they reached there, a trembling came on them. All the 70 men were destroyed. Then Musa recited this dua’a to beseech Allah to have mercy on him and on the pious among his followers

This dua’a was also recited by Musa immediately after the above noted dua’a to invoke Allah to give him and his followers all that which is good in this world and the next world, because it is Allah (alone) who can give whatever His obedient servants ask for.
Allah’s mercy enfolds all those wrongdoers who turn repentant unto Him as said in verse 153 of Sura A’raaf. Islam assures the sinners that the door of Allah’s mercy remain open for those who sincerely turn repentant to Allah.

Suffices me Allah. There is no god save Him. On Him do I rely, and He is the Lord of the great â€کArsh’ (the glorious throne of the mighty power).(Sura at-Tawbah, 9: 129).
Whenever Allah revealed the verses of the Holy Qur’an to His last prophet the hypocrite men used to ask each other how could these verses of Allah be of any use to them?
In this verse Allah says that His messenger was very kind to his followers and was anxious not to overburden them, he was full of pity and mercy. When they turned away, Allah asked the Holy Prophet to recite this verse.
This dua’a was recited by the Holy Prophet. We, his followers, must also recite it to put out trust in Allah (alone) and to ask for fulfillment of all our desires. If recited 66 times daily, it brings honour and respect.

(My) Lord, verily my son is of my family; and verily Your promise is true and You are the most just of all judges. (Sura Hud, 11: 45).
When Nuh came to know that Allah was going to destroy all that had been created, by drowning the whole world, except those who came on the ark built by him, he advised one of his sons to do the same. His son refused and told his father that he would climb a high mountain, but waves like mountains came and he was drowned.
Nuh cried unto his Lord and said that his son was his household and that surely the word of Allah came true because He is the most just of all judges.
This dua’a is to be recited along with any other prayer (dua’a) which is recited to seek fulfillment of legitimate desires.

When Nuh said the words, mentioned in dua’a 22, Allah replied to him that his son was a wrongdoer and what Allah knew Nuh did not, so he should not have relied upon his ignorance; and Nuh immediately recited this dua’a.
We must also recite this dua’a to have full faith in the wisdom of Allah under all good and bad circumstances because Allah is all-knowing; and humbly seek His help to keep ourselves and our children on the right path.

This is the prayer of Yusuf which he recited when Allah gave him kingdom, taught him wisdom, saved him from the harm of his brothers, set him free from the prison, and brought his parents to meet him.
We must also recite this dua’a if we get what we want, particularly after attaining success in any work, and after coming out safe from difficulties.

Rabbij-A’l Haad’al Balada Aaminaw Wajnubnee Wa Baniyya An Na’-Budal As’naam
(My) Lord, make this city secure, and keep me and my sons away from worshiping idols. (Sura Ibrahim, 14: 35).
This is the dua’a of prophet Ibrahim he recited to bring peace to the city of Makkah and to keep him and his descendants safe from worshipping any other god except the one and only Allah.
When a high ranking prophet like Ibrahim prayed to Allah for preserving him and his descendants from serving false gods, we, the ordinary servants of Allah, must always recite this dua’a as many times as possible.

Supplication n. 26

Rabbij-A’lnee Muqeemas’ S’alaati Wa Min D’urrriyyatee Rabbanaa Wa Taqabbal Du-A’aa
O Lord, make me steadfast in prayer, and (also) some of my offspring. O our Lord, accept my prayer. (Sura Ibrahim, 14: 40).
This is also a prayer of Ibrahim to make him establish prayer, and to give his children the motivation to do the same, and to favour them all by accepting their worship.
For accepting of sunnah and wajib prayers, we may recite this dua’a after every prayer.

Supplication n. 27

Rabbanaghfir Lee Wa Liwaalidayya Wa Lil-Mu’mineena Yawma Yaqoomul H’isaab
O our Lord, forgive me and my parents and believers on the day when the reckoning shall come to pass. (Sura Ibrahim, 14: 41).
Prophet Ibrahim recited this dua’a to seek forgiveness of Allah for him, for his parents and for those who believe in the one and only Allah, because His mercy alone will keep all believers away from the fire of hell on the day of judgement.
A high ranking Prophet, Ibrahim, also known as KhaleelulLaah (close friend of Allah), has included his parents in his dua’a. The sunnah (way of life) of the infallible Prophets is a guidance for us.
It is obligatory to love our parents and respect them because through them we are brought into this world. Allah, who provides sustenance to all, has selected parents to give livelihood to all that which have been created by Him. So next to the almighty Allah we owe everything in our life to our parents. They take care of us from the day we are born. They bring us up with love and care.
It is a well known fact that Allah, in His infinite mercy, has created love of mother, to keep alive the circle of continuous life on this earth, and because of this it is said that paradise lies under the feet of the mother.
Love of parents for their children is the divine wisdom through which mankind and other living beings have been surviving for millions of years on this planet. In no way we can repay our parents for what they do for us, except by following the command of Allah who ask us, in the holy Qur’an, to lower unto them our wings of submission through compassion and recite this dua’a and the dua’a mentioned in 28.

Supplication n. 28

Rabbir-H’amhumaa Kamaa Rabbayaanee S’agheeraa
O my Lord, have mercy on them (parents) just as they nourished me when I was small. (Sura al-â€کIsra’ or Bani Isra’il, 17: 24).
This and dua’a 27 and dua’a 55 are the best dua’a which we must pray for our parents at all times, whether they are alive or dead.
In the salatul walaydayn always recite these dua’as in qunoot.
In reply to a question, as to what is the position if some one’s parents, one or both, have died immediately after giving birth without ever nourishing the child, Imam Jaffer bin Mohammed as Sadiq said that subsistence of a child in the womb is enough to make the child feel obligated to his or her parents, and pray regularly to seek Allah’s blessings for them.
We must mention again that besides our own obligation, it is the command of Allah to give highest form of respect to our parents, to talk to them politely, even to sit with them and to talk to them is Ibadat (act of obedience to Allah), to carry out their orders, to love them and to take care of them in their old age and as directed in verse 23 of Bani Isra’il not to say (even) “uffâ€‌ to them, nor chide them, but to say gentle words to them; and above all to pray for obtaining mercy of Allah for them.
Salat, sawm, dua’as and all other good deeds of disobedient children go waste because Allah does not bestow blessings and does not have mercy on those who disobey their parents

Supplication n. 29

Rabbi Adkhilnee Mudkhala S’idqiw Wa Akhrijnee Mukhraja S’diqiw Waj-a’l Lee Mil Ladunkaa Sult’aanan Nas’eeraa
O Lord, cause me to enter a goodly entrance and cause me to go out a goodly exit, and grant me from you an authority to assist (me). (Sura al-â€کIsra’ or Bani Isra’il, 17: 80).
This dua’a is recited to seek Allah’s help for success in whatever work we are doing, mental or physical, spiritual; or material, with a firm determination to avoid that which has been forbidden and to take up only that which is allowed.
It is highly desirable to recite this dua’a in tahajjud (qunoot of salatul witr).
Recite this dua’a if you are afraid of a person or a thing; and at time of going to dangerous places.

Supplication n. 30

Rabbanaaa Aatina Mil Ladunka Rah’mataw Wa Hayyi Lanaa Min Amrinaa Rashadaa
O our Lord, grant us mercy from You, and provide a right course for us in our affair. (Sura al-Kahf, 18: 10).
This dua’a is recited to have full confidence to bear patiently all the difficulties which we face if we oppose the enemies of Allah to remain on the right path, by putting our trust in Allah for obtaining His help and mercy.
This dua’a was recitd by the people of the cave, known as ashaabul kahf, when they heard the sound of advancing soldiers, while running away from the army of the cruel king, who wanted to kill them because they, as true believers, refused to worship idols.
This dua’a can be recited to overcome the enemies: and to achieve success in whatever work we are doing.
