اَللّٰهُمَّ إِنِّيْ عَبْدُكَ ، وَابْنُ عَبْدِكَ ، وَابْنُ أَمَتِكَ ، نَاصِيَتِيْ بِيَدِكَ ، مَاضٍ فِيَّ حُكْمُكَ ، عَدْلٌ فِيَّ قَضَاؤُكَ ، أَسْأَلُكَ بِكُلِّ اسْمٍ هُوَ لَكَ ، سَمَّيْتَ بِهِ نَفْسَكَ ، أَوْ عَلَّمْتَهُ أَحَدًا مِّنْ خَلْقِكَ ، أَوْ أَنْزَلْتَهُ فِيْ كِتَابِكَ ، أَوِ اسْتَأْثَرْتَ بِهِ فِيْ عِلْمِ الْغَيْبِ عِنْدَكَ ، أَنْ تَجْعَلَ الْقُرْآنَ رَبِيْعَ قَلْبِيْ ، وَنُوْرَ صَدْرِيْ ، وَجَلَاءَ حُزْنِيْ ، وَذَهَابَ هَمِّيْ

I ask You by every name that is Yours, by which You named Yourself, or taught to any of Your creation, or sent down in Your Book, or kept for Yourself in the knowledge of the unseen with You: make the Qur’an the spring of my heart, the light of my chest, the clearing away of my grief and the departure of my worry.

Dua for Fear of Forgetting the Qur’an

اللَّهُمَّ! ارْحَمْنِي بِتَرْكِ الْمَعَاصِي أَبَداً مَا أَبْقَيْتَنِي، وَارْحَمْنِي بِتَرْكِ مَا لَا يَعْنِينِي، وَارْزُقْنِي حُسْنَ النَّظَرِ فِيمَا يُرْضِيكَ عَنِّي، وأَلْزِمْ قَلْبِي حِفْظَ كِتَابِكَ كَمَا عَلَّمْتَنِي، وَنَوِّرَ بِهِ بَصَرِي، واشْرَحْ بِهِ صَدْرِي، واجعلني أَتْلُوَهُ عَلَى ما يُرْضِيكَ عَنِّي، وَأَفْرِجْ بِهِ عن قَلْبِي، وَأَطْلِقْ بِهِ لِسَانِي، وَاستَعمِلْ بِهِ بَدَنِي، وَنَوِّرَ بِهِ قَلْبِي، وَلَا حَوْلَ وَلَا قُوَّةَ إِلَاّ بِاللَّهِ

O Allah, have mercy on me by my leaving sins for as long as You keep me alive, and have mercy on me by my leaving what does not concern me. Grant me good consideration of what pleases You with me. Make my heart cling to the memorization of Your Book as You have taught me, illuminate my sight with it, expand my chest with it, and make me recite it in a way that pleases You with me. Relieve my heart with it, loosen my tongue with it, put my body to work with it, and illuminate my heart with it. There is no might and no power except with Allah.

Dua of Trust in Allah for Protection from Calamity

اللَّهُمَّ أَنْتَ رَبِّي، لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ، عَلَيْكَ تَوَكَّلْتُ، وَأَنْتَ رَبُّ الْعَرْشِ الْعَظِيمِ، مَا شَاءَ اللهُ كَانَ، وَمَا لَمْ يَشَأْ لَمْ يَكُنْ، لَا حَوْلَ وَلَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللَّهِ الْعَلِيِّ الْعَظِيمِ، أَعْلَمُ أَنَّ اللَّهَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ، وَأَنَّ اللَّهَ قَدْ أَحَاطَ بِكُلِّ شَيْءٍ عِلْمًا، اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ شَرِّ نَفْسِي، وَمِنْ شَرِّ كُلِّ دَابَّةٍ أَنْتَ آخِذٌ بِنَاصِيَتِهَا، إِنَّ رَبِّي عَلَى صِرَاطٍ مُسْتَقِيمٍ

O Allah, You are my Lord; there is no god but You. In You I have placed my trust, and You are the Lord of the Mighty Throne. What Allah wills happens, and what He does not will does not happen. There is no power and no strength except with Allah, the Most High, the Most Great. I know that Allah has power over all things, and that Allah encompasses all things in knowledge. O Allah, I seek refuge in You from the evil of my soul, and from the evil of every creature whose forelock You hold. Indeed, my Lord is on a straight path.

Dua for Settling Debt and Relief from Poverty

«اللهُمَّ فَالِقَ الْإِصْبَاحِ، وَجَاعِلَ اللَّيْلِ سَكَناً، وَالشَّمْسَ وَالْقَمَرَ حُسْبَاناً، اقْضِ عَنِّي الدَّيْنَ، وَأَغْنِنِي مِنَ الْفَقْرِ. وَأَمْتِعْنِي بِسَمْعِي، وَبَصَرِي، وَقُوَّتِي (¬١)، فِي سَبِيلِكَ

O Allah, Splitter of the daybreak, Maker of the night for rest, and of the sun and the moon for reckoning, settle my debt for me and enrich me against poverty. And let me enjoy my hearing, my sight and my strength in Your way.

Allāhumma fāliqa-l-iṣbāḥi, wa jāʿila-l-layli sakanan, wa-sh-shamsa wa-l-qamara ḥusbānan, iqḍi ʿannī-d-dayna, wa aghninī mina-l-faqri. Wa amtiʿnī bi-samʿī, wa baṣarī, wa quwwatī, fī sabīlika.
