Supplications from the Sunnah

• اللهم ربنا لك الحمد أنت قيم السماوات والأرض ومن فيهن، ولك الحمد أنت رب السماوات والأرض ومن فيهن، ولك الحمد أنت نور السماوات والأرض ومن فيهن، أنت الحق وقولك الحق ووعدك الحق ولقاؤك الحق.

  O Allah, our Lord, all praise is due to You, You are the Sustainer of the heavens and the earth and whatever is in them. All praise is due to You, You are the Lord of the heavens and the earth and whatever is in them. All praise is due to You, You are the Light of the heavens and the earth and whatever is in them. You are the Truth, Your Word is the Truth, Your promise is the Truth, and the meeting with You is the Truth.

  Transliteration: Allahumma rabbana laka al-hamd anta qayyimu al-samawati wal-ardi waman fihinna, wa laka al-hamd anta rabbu al-samawati wal-ardi waman fihinna, wa laka al-hamd anta nooru al-samawati wal-ardi waman fihinna, anta al-haqqu wa qawluka al-haqqu wa wa’duka al-haqqu wa liqaa’uka al-haqqu.

• اللهمَّ إنِّي عبدُك، ابنُ عبدِك، ابنُ أمَتِك، ناصيتي بيدِك، ماضٍ فيَّ حُكمُك، عدلٌ فيَّ قضاؤُك، أسألُك اللهمَّ بكلِّ اسمٍ هو لك سمَّيتَ به نفسَك، أو أنزلته في كتابِك، أو علَّمته أحدًا مِن خلقِك، أو استأثرت به في علمِ الغيبِ عندَك، أن تجعلَ القرآنَ ربيعَ قلبِي، ونورَ صدرِي، وجلاءَ حزني، وذَهابَ همِّي وغمِّي.

  O Allah, I am Your servant, son of Your servant, son of Your maidservant. My forelock is in Your hand, Your command concerning me prevails, and Your decree concerning me is just. I ask You by every name You have named Yourself with, or revealed in Your Book, or taught to any of Your creation, or kept in the knowledge of the unseen with You, to make the Quran the spring of my heart, the light of my chest, the remover of my sadness, and the reliever of my distress.

  Transliteration: Allahumma inni abduka, ibnu abdika, ibnu amatika, nasiyati biyadika, madin fiyya hukmuka, adlun fiyya qada’uka, as’aluka allahumma bi kulli ismin huwa laka sammayta bihi nafsaka, aw anzaltahu fi kitabika, aw allamtahu ahadan min khalqika, aw ista’tharta bihi fi ilmi al-ghaybi indaka, an taj’ala al-Qur’ana rabi’a qalbi, wa nura sadri, wa jala’a huzni, wa dhahaba hammi wa ghammi.

• اللَّهُمَّ إنِّي أَعُوذُ بكَ مِنَ العَجْزِ وَالْكَسَلِ، وَالْجُبْنِ وَالْبُخْلِ، وَالْهَرَمِ، وَعَذَابِ القَبْرِ، اللَّهُمَّ آتِ نَفْسِي تَقْوَاهَا، وَزَكِّهَا أَنْتَ خَيْرُ مَن زَكَّاهَا، أَنْتَ وَلِيُّهَا وَمَوْلَاهَا، اللَّهُمَّ إنِّي أَعُوذُ بكَ مِن عِلْمٍ لا يَنْفَعُ، وَمِنْ قَلْبٍ لا يَخْشَعُ، وَمِنْ نَفْسٍ لا تَشْبَعُ، وَمِنْ دَعْوَةٍ لا يُسْتَجَابُ لَهَا.

  O Allah, I seek refuge in You from incapacity, laziness, cowardice, stinginess, old age, and the torment of the grave. O Allah, grant my soul its piety and purify it, for You are the best who purifies it. You are its guardian and protector. O Allah, I seek refuge in You from knowledge that does not benefit, from a heart that does not humble, from a soul that is not satisfied, and from a supplication that is not answered.

  Transliteration: Allahumma inni a’udhu bika min al-‘ajzi wal-kasli, wal-jubni wal-bukhli, wal-harami, wa ‘adhabi al-qabri, Allahumma ati nafsi taqwaha, wa zakkiha anta khayru man zakaha, anta waliyuha wa mawlaha, Allahumma inni a’udhu bika min ‘ilmin la yanfa’, wa min qalbin la yakhsha’, wa min nafsin la tashba’, wa min da’watin la yustajabu laha.

• اللَّهمَّ إنِّي أسألُكَ مِنَ الخيرِ كلِّهِ عاجلِهِ وآجلِهِ ، ما عَلِمْتُ منهُ وما لم أعلَمْ ، وأعوذُ بِكَ منَ الشَّرِّ كلِّهِ عاجلِهِ وآجلِهِ ، ما عَلِمْتُ منهُ وما لم أعلَمْ ، اللَّهمَّ إنِّي أسألُكَ من خيرِ ما سألَكَ عبدُكَ ونبيُّكَ ، وأعوذُ بِكَ من شرِّ ما عاذَ بِهِ عبدُكَ ونبيُّكَ ، اللَّهمَّ إنِّي أسألُكَ الجنَّةَ وما قرَّبَ إليها من قَولٍ أو عملٍ ، وأعوذُ بِكَ منَ النَّارِ وما قرَّبَ إليها من قولٍ أو عملٍ ، وأسألُكَ أن تجعلَ كلَّ قَضاءٍ قضيتَهُ لي خيرًا.

  O Allah, I ask You for all that is good, immediate and delayed, what I know and what I do not know. I seek refuge in You from all that is evil, immediate and delayed, what I know and what I do not know. O Allah, I ask You for the good that Your servant and Prophet asked You for, and I seek refuge in You from the evil that Your servant and Prophet sought refuge from. O Allah, I ask You for Paradise and whatever brings me closer to it, in word or deed, and I seek refuge in You from Hellfire and whatever brings me closer to it, in word or deed. I ask You to make every decree You have decreed for me good.

  Transliteration: Allahumma inni as’aluka min al-khayri kullihi ‘ajilihi wa ajilihi, ma ‘alimtu minhu wa ma lam a’lam, wa a’udhu bika min al-sharri kullihi ‘ajilihi wa ajilihi, ma ‘alimtu minhu wa ma lam a’lam, Allahumma inni as’aluka min khayri ma sa’alaka ‘abduka wa nabiyyuka, wa a’udhu bika min sharri ma ‘adha bihi ‘abduka wa nabiyyuka, Allahumma inni as’aluka al-jannata wa ma qarraba ilayha min qawlin aw ‘amalin, wa a’udhu bika min al-nari wa ma qarraba ilayha min qawlin aw ‘amalin, wa as’aluka an taj’ala kulla qada’in qadaytahu li khayran.

• اللهمَّ اقسِمْ لنا مِنْ خشيَتِكَ ما تحولُ بِهِ بينَنَا وبينَ معاصيكَ ، ومِنْ طاعَتِكَ ما تُبَلِّغُنَا بِهِ جنتَكَ ، ومِنَ اليقينِ ما تُهَوِّنُ بِهِ علَيْنَا مصائِبَ الدُّنيا ، اللهمَّ متِّعْنَا بأسماعِنا ، وأبصارِنا ، وقوَّتِنا ما أحْيَيْتَنا ، واجعلْهُ الوارِثَ مِنَّا ، واجعَلْ ثَأْرَنا عَلَى مَنْ ظلَمَنا ، وانصرْنا عَلَى مَنْ عادَانا ، ولا تَجْعَلِ مُصِيبَتَنا في دينِنَا ، ولا تَجْعَلِ الدُّنيا أكْبَرَ هَمِّنَا ، ولا مَبْلَغَ عِلْمِنَا ، ولا تُسَلِّطْ علَيْنَا مَنْ لا يَرْحَمُنا.

  O Allah, apportion for us fear of You that will serve as a barrier between us and disobedience to You, and obedience to You that will bring us to Your Paradise, and certainty that will make the calamities of this world easy for us to bear. O Allah, let us enjoy our hearing, our sight, and our strength as long as You keep us alive, and make them the inheritors of us. Make our vengeance be upon those who wrong us, and support us against those who are hostile to us. Do not make our misfortune in our religion, and do not make this world our greatest concern, nor the limit of our knowledge. And do not appoint over us those who will not show mercy to us.

  Transliteration: Allahumma qsim lana min khashyatika ma tahoolu bihi baynana wa bayna ma’asiika, wa min ta’atika ma tuballighuna bihi jannataka, wa minal-yaqeeni ma tuhawwinu bihi ‘alayna masaa’iba al-dunya, allahumma matti’na bi asma’ina, wa absarina, wa quwwatina ma ahyaytana, waj’alhu al-waritha minna, waj’al tha’rana ‘ala man dhalamana, wansurna ‘ala man ‘adana, wa la taj’al museebatana fi dinina, wa la taj’al al-dunya akbara hammina, wa la mablagha ‘ilmina, wa la tusallita ‘alayna man la yarhamuna.
