Below we give a selection of forty prayers from the Quran and the Traditions as indicated in Lesson 17.

الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ () الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ () مَالِكِ يَوْمِ الدِّينِ () إِيَّاكَ نَعْبُدُ وَإِيَّاكَ نَسْتَعِينُ () اهْدِنَا الصِّرَاطَ الْمُسْتَقِيمَ () صِرَاطَ الَّذِينَ أَنْعَمْتَ عَلَيْهِمْ غَيْرِ الْمَغْضُوبِ عَلَيْهِمْ وَلَا الضَّالِّينَ ()

1) Praise be to Allah, Lord of the Worlds, the Compassionate, the Merciful,
Owner of the Day of Judgment. Thee alone do we worship, and to Thee alone
do we beg for help. Show us the straight path: the path of those whom Thou
hast favoured; not the path (of those) who earn Thine anger, nor of those who
go astray. Amen!

رَبَّنَا آتِنَا فِي الدُّنْيَا حَسَنَةً وَفِي الْآخِرَةِ حَسَنَةً وَقِنَا عَذَابَ النَّارِ

2) Our Lord! Give us good in this world and good in the Hereafter, and defend
us from the torment of the Fire.

رَبَّنَا إِنَّنَا آمَنَّا فَاغْفِرْ لَنَا ذُنُوبَنَا وَقِنَا عَذَابَ النَّارِ

3) Our Lord! We have, indeed, believed: forgive us, then, our sins, and save us
from the agony of the Fire.

رَبَّنَا اغْفِرْ لَنَا ذُنُوبَنَا وَإِسْرَافَنَا فِي أَمْرِنَا وَثَبِّتْ أَقْدَامَنَا وَانْصُرْنَا عَلَى الْقَومِ الْكَافِرِينَ

4) O Lord! Forgive us our sins and anything we may have done that transgressed
our duty: establish our feet firmly, and help us against this people that
resisteth faith.

رَبَّنَا إِنَّنَا سَمِعْنَا مُنَادِيًا يُنَادِي لِلْإِيمَانِ أَنْ آمِنُوا بِرَبِّكُمْ فَآمَنَّا رَبَّنَا فَاغْفِرْ لَنَا ذُنُوبَنَا وَكَفِّرْ عَنَّا سَيِّئَاتِنَا وَتَوَفَّنَا مَعَ الْأَبْرَارِ

رَبَّنَا وَآتِنَا مَا وَعَدْتَنَا عَلَى رُسُلِكَ وَلَا تُخْزِنَا يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ إِنَّكَ لَا تُخْلِفُ الْمِيعَادَ

5) Our Lord! We have heard the call of one calling us to Faith, "Believe ye in the
Lord", and we have believed. Our Lord! Forgive us our sins, blot out from us our inequities, and take to Thyself our souls in the company of the righteous, Our Lord! grant us what Thou didst promise unto us through Thine Apostle, and save us from shame on the day of Judgment: for Thou never breakest promise.

رَبَّنَا ظَلَمْنَا أَنْفُسَنَا وَإِنْ لَمْ تَغْفِرْ لَنَا وَتَرْحَمْنَا لَنَكُونَنَّ مِنَ الْخَاسِرِينَ

6) Our Lord! We have wronged our souls; if Thou forgive us not and bestow not
on us Thy mercy we shall certainly be lost.

رَبَّنَا لَا تَجْعَلْنَا فِتْنَةً لِلْقَوْمِ الظَّالِمِينَ - وَنَجِّنَا بِرَحْمَتِكَ مِنَ الْقَوْمِ الْكَافِرِينَ

7) Our Lord! Make us not a trail for those who practise oppression and deliver us
by Thy mercy from those who reject Thee.

فَاطِرَ السَّمَوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ أَنْتَ وَلِيِّي فِي الدُّنْيَا وَالْآخِرَةِ تَوَفَّنِي مُسْلِمًا وَأَلْحِقْنِي بِالصَّالِحِينَ

8) Creator of the heavens and the earth! Thou art my protector in this world and
the Hereafter. Take Thou my soul at death as one submitting to Thy Will (as a
Muslim), and unite us with the righteous.

رَبِّ اجْعَلْنِي مُقِيمَ الصَّلَاةِ وَمِنْ ذُرِّيَّتِي رَبَّنَا وَتَقَبَّلْ دُعَاءِ - رَبَّنَا اغْفِرْ لِي وَلِوَالِدَيَّ وَلِلْمُؤْمِنِينَ يَوْمَ يَقُومُ الْحِسَابُ

9) O my Lord! Make me one who establishes regular prayer, and also raise
among my off-spring, O our Lord, and accept Thou my Prayer. O our Lord!
Cover us with Thy forgiveness-me, my parents and all Believers, on the Day
that the reckoning will be established.

رَبِّ ارْحَمْهُمَا كَمَا رَبَّيَانِي صَغِيرًا

10) My Lord! Bestow on my parents Thy mercy even as they cherished me in my
childhood.

رَبِّ زِدْنِي عِلْمًا

11) O my Lord! Advance me in my knowledge.

رَبِّ اغْفِرْ وَارْحَمْ وَأَنْتَ خَيْرُ الرَّاحِمِينَ

12) O my Lord! Grant Thou forgiveness and mercy! For Thou art the Best of
those who show mercy!

رَبِّ أَوْزِعْنِي أَنْ أَشْكُرَ نِعْمَتَكَ الَّتِي أَنْعَمْتَ عَلَيَّ وَعَلَى وَالِدَيَّ وَأَنْ أَعْمَلَ صَالِحًا تَرْضَاهُ وَأَصْلِحْ لِي فِي ذُرِّيَّتِي إِنِّي تُبْتُ إِلَيْكَ وَإِنِّي مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ

13) O my Lord! Grant me that I may be grateful for Thy favour, which Thou hast
bestowed upon me, and upon both my parents, and I may work righteousness
such as Thou mayst approve; and be gracious to me in my issue. Truly have I
turned to Thee and truly do I bow to Thee in Islam.

رَبَّنَا اغْفِرْ لَنَا وَلِإِخْوَانِنَا الَّذِينَ سَبَقُونَا بِالْإِيمَانِ وَلَا تَجْعَلْ فِي قُلُوبِنَا غِلًّا لِلَّذِينَ آمَنُوا رَبَّنَا إِنَّكَ رَءُوفٌ رَحِيمٌ

14) Our Lord! Forgive us, and our brethren who came before us into the Faith,
and leave not, in our hearts, rancour (or sense of injury) against those who
have believed. Our Lord! Thou at, indeed, full of kindness, Most Merciful.

رَبَّنَا أَتْمِمْ لَنَا نُورَنَا وَاغْفِرْ لَنَا إِنَّكَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ

15) Our Lord! Perfect our Light for us and grant us forgiveness: for Thou hast
power over all things.

يا حي يا قيوم برحمتك استغيث أصلح لي شان كله

16) O Thou Living, Eternal One! Unto Thy Mercy do I appeal.

اللهم أصلح لي ديني الذي هو عصمه أمري و أصلح لي دنياي التي فيها معاشي و أصلح لي آخرتي التي فيها معادي واجعل الحياة زيادة لي في كل خير و اجعل الموت راحة لي من كل شر

17) O Allah! Set aright my faith which is the safeguard of all my affairs; set aright
my world wherein is my living, set aright my Hereafter whereto I have to
return. Let life be unto me a source of advance in every kind of righteousness,
and let death be to me a release from every kind of evil.

sustenance.

and let me be, by Thy Grace, dependent on no one besides Thee.

اللهم وفقني لما تحب و ترضى و اجعل آخرتي خيرا من الأولى

make the Hereafter better for me than this world.

conduct that will enable me to attain Thy love. O Allah! Let Thy love be dearer
to me than myself, my wealth, mine household and water that is cold.

in thy Mercy than in my conduct.

اللهم إني أسالك رضاك و الجنة و أعوذ بك من غضبك و النار

36) O Allah! I beg of Thee Thy good pleasure and the Garden (i.e., Paradise). I also
beg of Thee to spare me out of Thy Mercy the Punishment of Fire.)

اللهم إني أعوذ برضاك من سخطك و بمعافاتك من عقوبتك و أعوذ بك منك لا أحصن ثناء عليك أنت كما أثنيت على نفسك

39) O Allah! Thou art my Lord. There is no Allah save Thee. Thou hast created me
and I am thy slave. And I abide by Thy Covenant and Promise as best as I can.
I seek refuge in Thee from the mischief of what I have wrought. I
acknowledge unto thee Thy favour which Thou hast bestowed upon me. I
confess also my inequity: so, forgive me for none forgiveth sins save Thee.

اللهم إني أعوذ بك من شر سمعي و من شر بصري و من شر لساني و من شر قلبي و من شر منيي و أعوذ بك من عذاب القبر و من فتنة المسيح الدجال و أعوذ بك من فتنة المحيى و الممات

40) O Allah! I seek refuge in Thee from the mischief of my ears, and from the
mischief of my eyes, and from the mischief of my tongue, and from the
mischief of my heart, and from the mischief of my carnal desires, and I seek
refuge in Thee from the punishment of Hell, and from the punishment of the
grave, and from the calamity of Dajjal, and I seek refuge in Thee from the
trails and temptations of life and death.

which (Prophet) Mohammad (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) had sought refuge in Thee.

اللهم صل علي محمد و على آل محمد كما صليت على إبراهيم و على آل إبراهيم انك حميد مجيد اللهم بارك على محمد و على آل محمد كما باركت على إبراهيم و على آل إبراهيم انك حميد مجيد اللهم انزله المقعد المقرب عندك يوم القيامة و ابلغه الوسيلة و الدرجة الرفيعة و ابعثه مقاما محمود ن الذي و عدته

verily, Thou art the Praiseworthy, the Majestic. O Allah! Send him down on
the Day of Judgment into the place of special nearness unto Thee and elevate
him to places of honour and intercession and grant him that place of choicest
favour and worthiness which Thou promised of him, and bless us with his
intercession on the Day of recompense: for Thou never breakest Thy promise.
