‫الد ِاع ِا َذا َد َعا ِن‬َّ َ‫َو ِا َذا َس َا َل َـك ِعبَا ِد ۡى َع ِّن ۡى فَ ِانِّ ۡى قَ ِر ۡيبؕ ُا ِج ۡي ُب َد ۡع َوة‬
‫فَ ۡليَ ۡستَ ِج ۡيبُ ۡوا ِل ۡى َو ۡليُ ۡؤ ِمنُ ۡوا ِب ۡى َل َع َّل ُُ ۡ ۡ ي َ ۡر ُش ُد ۡو َن‬

And when My slaves ask you (O Muhammad SAW)

concerning Me, then (answer them), I am indeed near
(to them by My Knowledge). (Al-Baqarah:186)
 ‫ُا ۡد ُع ۡوا َربَّكُ ۡ ۡ تَ َض ُّر ًعا َّو ُخفۡ يَ ًة ؕ ِانَّ ٗه لَا ي ُ ِح ُّب ا ۡل ُم ۡعتَ ِد ۡي َن‬

Invoke your Lord with humility and

in secret. He likes not the
aggressors. (Al-Araf:55)
‫َوقَا َل َربُّكُ ُ ۡ ۡاد ُع ۡو ِن ۡۤۡى َا ۡستَ ِج ۡب َلـكُ ۡ ۡؕ ِا َّن ا َّل ِذ ۡي َن ي َ ۡستَ ۡك ِب ُر ۡو َن َع ۡن ِعبَا َد ِت ۡى‬
‫َسيَ ۡد ُخلُ ۡو َن َج َُ َّن َ ۡ َدا ِخ ِر ۡي َن‬

And your Lord said: "Invoke Me, [i.e. believe in My Oneness (Islâmic
Monotheism)] (and ask Me for anything) I will respond to your
(invocation). Verily! Those who scorn My worship [i.e. do not invoke
Me, and do not believe in My Oneness, (Islâmic Monotheism)] they
will surely enter Hell in humiliation!"
(Al-Momin:60)
 ‫الر ۡح ٰم َن ؕ َا يا َّما تَ ۡد ُع ۡوا فَلَ ُه ا ۡلا َۡس َمآ ُء‬َّ ‫قُ ِل ۡاد ُعوا ال ّٰل َه َا ِو ۡاد ُعوا‬
‫ا ۡل ُح ۡس ٰنى ۚ َولَا تَ ۡج َُ ۡر ِب َصلَا ِت َك َولَا تُ ََخا ِف ۡۡ ِب َُا َوا ۡبتَ ِِ ب َ ۡي َن ٰذ ِل َك َس ِب ۡيلًا‬

Say (O Muhammad SAW): "Invoke Allâh or invoke the

Most Gracious (Allâh), by whatever name you invoke Him
(it is the same), for to Him belong the Best Names. And
offer your Salât (prayer) neither aloud nor in a low voice,
but follow a way between. (Al-Isra:110)

One of three things never fails to come to a
man from supplication: either a sin is
forgiven, or something good comes
hurriedly to him or something good is
stored u for him. (Tirmidhi, Dua, 5)

The Prophet (‫ )ﷺ‬said, "Allah says: 'I am just as My slave thinks I am, (i.e. I am able to
do for him what he thinks I can do for him) and I am with him if He remembers Me. If
he remembers Me in himself, I too, remember him in Myself; and if he remembers
Me in a group of people, I remember him in a group that is better than they; and if
he comes one span nearer to Me, I go one cubit nearer to him; and if he comes one
cubit nearer to Me, I go a distance of two outstretched arms nearer to him; and if he
comes to Me walking, I go to him running.' " (Bukhari, Tawhid, 50)

The people do not sit but they are surrounded by angels and covered by Mercy, and
there descends upon them tranquility as they remember Allah, and Allah makes a
mention of them to those who are near Him. (Muslim, Dhikr, 38)

"My Lord! You have indeed bestowed on me of the sovereignty, and
taught me something of the interpretation of dreams - the (Only)
Creator of the heavens and the earth! You are my Walî (Protector, Helper,
Supporter, Guardian, God, Lord.) in this world and in the Hereafter.
Cause me to die as a Muslim (the one submitting to Your Will), and join
me with the righteous." (Al-Yousuf:101)

And Mûsa (Moses) chose out of his people seventy (of the best) men for Our
appointed time and place of meeting, and when they were seized with a violent
earthquake, he said: "O my Lord, if it had been Your Will, You could have destroyed
them and me before; would You destroy us for the deeds of the foolish ones among
us? It is only Your Trial by which You lead astray whom You will, and keep guided
whom You will. You are our Walî (Protector), so forgive us and have Mercy on us, for
You are the Best of those who forgive. (Al-Araf:155-6)

Indeed there has been an excellent example for you in Ibrâhim (Abraham) and
those with him, when they said to their people: "Verily, we are free from you and
whatever you worship besides Allâh, we have rejected you, and there has started
between us and you, hostility and hatred for ever, until you believe in Allâh Alone,"
except the saying of Ibrâhim (Abraham) to his father: "Verily, I will ask forgiveness
(from Allâh) for you, but I have no power to do anything for you before Allâh[] ." Our
Lord! In You (Alone) we put our trust, and to You (Alone) we turn in repentance, and
to You (Alone) is (our) final Return (Al-Mumtahina:4)
 ‫فَقَا ُل ۡوا َعلَى ال ّٰل ِه تَ َوكَّ ۡلنَا ۚ َربَّنَا لَا تَ ۡج َع ۡلنَا ِف ۡتنَ ًة ِّلـ ۡلق َۡو ِم ال ّٰظ ِل ِم ۡي َن‬

They said: "In Allâh we put our trust. Our Lord! Make us not a
trial for the folk who are Zâlimûn (polytheists and wrong-
doing) (i.e. do not make them overpower us) (Younus:85)
ۡ ُ ‫َربَّنَا لَا تَ ۡج َع ۡلنَا ِف ۡتنَ ًة ِّل َّل ِذ ۡي َن كَ َف ُر ۡوا َو ۡاغ ِف ۡر َلـنَا َربَّنَا ۚ ِانَّ َك اَ ۡن َۡ ا ۡل َع ِز ۡي ُز ا ۡل َح ِك ۡي‬

"Our Lord! Make us not a trial for the disbelievers, and forgive us,
Our Lord! Verily, You, only You are the All-Mighty, the All-
Wise." (Al-Mumtahina:5)
‫َو َما كَا َن قَ ۡو َل ُُ ۡ ۡ ِال َّ ۤۡا َا ۡن قَا ُل ۡوا َربَّنَا ۡاغ ِف ۡر َلنَا ُذنُ ۡوبَنَا َو ِا ۡس َرافَنَا ِف ۡۤۡى َا ۡم ِرنَا َو ث َ ِّب ۡۡ َا ۡق َدا َمنَا‬

And they said nothing but: "Our Lord! Forgive us our sins
and our transgressions (in keeping our duties to You),
establish our feet firmly, and give us victory over the
disbelieving folk." (Aal-Imran:147)
‫ا َّل ِذ ۡي َن َجآ ُء ۡو ِم ۡۢۡن ب َ ۡع ِد ِه ۡ ۡ يَق ُۡو ُل ۡو َن َربَّنَا ا ۡغ ِف ۡر َلـنَا َو ِل ِاخۡ َوا ِننَا ا َّل ِذ ۡي َن َسبَق ُۡونَا ِبا ۡل ِا ۡي َما ِن َولَا‬

And those who came after them say: "Our Lord! Forgive us
and our brethren who have preceded us in Faith, and put
not in our hearts any hatred against those who have
believed. Our Lord! You are indeed full of kindness, Most
Merciful. (Al-Hashr:10)
‫ف فَقَا ُل ۡوا َربَّنَ ۤۡا ٰا ِتنَا ِم ۡن َّل ُد ۡن َك َر ۡح َم ًة َّو َه ِّي ۡۡ َلـنَا ِم ۡن َا ۡم ِرنَا َر َش ًدا‬

(Remember) when the young men fled for refuge (from

their disbelieving folk) to the Cave, They said: "Our
Lord! Bestow on us mercy from Yourself, and facilitate
for us our affair in the right way!" (Al-Kahf:10)

Allâh burdens not a person beyond his scope. He gets reward for that
(good) which he has earned, and he is punished for that (evil) which
he has earned. "Our Lord! Punish us not if we forget or fall into error,
our Lord! Lay not on us a burden like that which You did lay on those
before us (Jews and Christians); our Lord! Put not on us a burden
greater than we have strength to bear. Pardon us and grant us
Forgiveness. Have mercy on us. You are our Maulâ (Patron, Supporter
and Protector, etc.) and give us victory over the disbelieving people."
