Forty Rabbana Supplications

Collection of Short Qur`anic Du`a

In the Name of Allah, Most Beneficent, Most Merciful

Introduction

My Rabb! I take refuge with You -- from the prompting of the Evil-ones; And I take refuge with You, O Rabb! lest they come up to me. Al Mu’minun 97-98

Praise be to Allah I, we thank Him, seek His Help and His Forgiveness. We seek refuge in Allah I from the evils of ourselves and that of our bad deeds. He whom Allah I guides, is truly guided, and he whom Allah I leaves to stray, none can guide him. I bear witness that there is no god but Allah I, who has no partner and I bear witness that Muhammad r is His Messenger.

This publication is a compilation of forty such verses, which are supplications imploring Allah for favours, all of which start with beseeching Allah with His title of, the Lord of all.

If a person reads it with humility and subjugation, there will be a feeling of contentment. The best time to read this book is before or after Fajr salaah (Morning prayer). Before reading this book, read the following salutations.

O Allah shower Your salutations and blessings and peace upon our master Muhammad, the unlettered Prophet, and upon his family.
