Quranic Supplications (Du’as)-أدعية

04/03/2026

The Holy Qur’an, regarded by Muslims as the literal word of God, contains numerous supplications (du’as) that serve as spiritual blueprints for believers. These prayers are not merely historical accounts of the prophets but are considered timeless formulas for seeking divine intervention, mercy, and guidance. According to the Encyclopedia of the Qur’an, these supplications often begin with the vocative “Rabbana” (Our Lord) or “Rabbi” (My Lord), emphasizing the personal and sustaining relationship between the Creator and the created

Dua (Arabic: دعاء, plural: ad‘iyah أدعية) means “supplication,” “invocation,” or “calling out” to God (Allah) in Islam. It is a deeply personal, informal, and spontaneous act of worship, representing a direct, intimate conversation between a believer and their Creator. Unlike formal prayer (Salah), it can be performed anywhere

1) Supplication of Adam (7:23)

رَبَّنَا ظَلَمْنَا أَنفُسَنَا وَإِن لَّمْ تَغْفِرْ لَنَا وَتَرْحَمْنَا لَنَكُونَنَّ مِنَ الْخَاسِرِينَ

Transliteration:

Rabbanaa ẓalamnaa anfusanaa wa in lam taghfir lanaa wa tarḥamnaa lanakoonanna minal-khaasireen.

Translation:

They replied, “Lord, we have done injustice to our souls. If You will not forgive us and have mercy on us, we shall certainly have incurred a great loss.

Context

This duʿāʾ was made after Adam and Hawwa (Eve) ate from the forbidden tree and realized their mistake. It is a powerful prayer of:

Repentance
Admitting one’s wrongdoing
Seeking forgiveness and mercy

It is one of the most important Qur’anic supplications for tawbah (repentance).
