Dua and Supplication in the Quran

The Quran contains beautiful supplications (duas) from the prophets and righteous people. These are not just words—they are templates for how we should communicate with Allah.

Ibrahim's Dua for Progeny "Our Lord, make us of those who establish prayer." (Surah Ibrahim 14:40) — Ibrahim did not ask for wealth or status; he asked for righteousness. His priorities teach us what to seek.

The Dua of Musa "My Lord, expand for me my breast, and ease my task for me, and untie the knot from my tongue that they may understand my speech." (Surah Ta-Ha 20:25-28) — Musa asked for clarity and ease in conveying the message. We can ask for the same in our own efforts.

The Dua of Zakariya "My Lord, indeed I am in need of whatever good You may send down to me." (Surah Al-Qasas 28:24) — Simple, humble, and trusting. Zakariya's supplication shows that we can ask Allah for our needs without pretense.

Rabbana Duas Surah Al-Baqarah contains the famous "Rabbana" (Our Lord) supplications—prayers for guidance, forgiveness, and strength. These are recited by Muslims worldwide in prayer and devotion.

Conditions for Acceptance The Quran teaches that dua is answered when we call upon Allah with sincerity, avoid sin, and trust in His wisdom—even when the answer is not what we expected. Allah knows what is best.
