A devotional reader gathering four treasures of the Book: the supplications preserved in the Quran, the heartfelt duas of the prophets, the six verses of healing (Ayat al-Shifa), and the fourteen verses of prostration. Choose a section from the sidebar to begin.
Every supplication preserved in the Book — Arabic, transliteration and meaning. The voices of the prophets and the prayers of the righteous.
The heartfelt duas of the prophets, preserved in the Quran as timeless examples of turning to Allah.
Six verses of the Qur'an that explicitly mention shifa (healing/cure), gathered by the scholars and recited seeking healing of body, heart and soul.
The Ayat al-Shifa are six well-known verses in which Allah mentions shifa — a cure or healing. Scholars and reciters have long gathered them to recite over the sick, into water to be drunk, or for spiritual relief, trusting that the Qur'an itself is "a healing and mercy for the believers" (17:82). They are often recited three or seven times with sincere supplication.
The Qur'an's healing reaches the heart and soul certainly, and the body by Allah's leave. To recite the Ayat al-Shifa: begin with the isti'adha and basmalah, recite the verses (often together with Al-Fatihah and the Mu'awwidhat), blow into the hands and wipe over the body, or recite into water to drink. Hold firm trust that Allah is the only One who cures, and pair this with the lawful medical means He has provided. The Prophet ﷺ taught: "For every disease there is a cure" (Sahih Muslim 2204).
The verses of prostration in the Quran. When a reciter reaches one of these, it is prescribed to perform a prostration — Sujūd at-Tilāwah.
Upon reciting or hearing a verse of sajdah, the reader (and listener following along) says "Allāhu Akbar" and goes into a single prostration — the same as the prostration in prayer. In sujūd one says سَجَدَ وَجْهِيَ لِلَّذِي خَلَقَهُ وَصَوَّرَهُ وَشَقَّ سَمْعَهُ وَبَصَرَهُ بِحَوْلِهِ وَقُوَّتِهِ ("My face has prostrated to the One who created it and shaped it and brought forth its hearing and sight by His power and might"), then rises. Outside of prayer there is no fixed taslīm; in prayer one continues normally. Facing the qiblah and wuḍūʾ are observed as in prayer.
14 verses of prostration:
The Quran is a treasury of supplications. Within its verses are the very words used by the Prophets — words of repentance, of longing, of help in calamity, and of gratitude at moments of joy. To learn the Quranic duas is to learn how the closest servants of Allah spoke to Him — and pairs naturally with the daily adhkar from the Sunnah and the 99 Names of Allah by which He is invoked.
When Adam and Hawwa (peace be upon them) ate from the tree, Allah taught them words to return with. The Quran preserves their supplication in Surah Al-A'raf: "Our Lord, we have wronged ourselves, and if You do not forgive us and have mercy upon us, we will surely be among the losers." (7:23) These words are the doorway to repentance — short, sincere, and packed with humility.
From the deepest darkness Yunus (peace be upon him) cried out: "There is no god but You, glory be to You — indeed I have been of the wrongdoers." (21:87) The Prophet ﷺ said: "No Muslim ever prays with this dua about any matter, except that Allah answers him." (Tirmidhi) It is the dua of crisis — of being utterly alone and utterly heard.
Beyond supplication, the Quran gathers verses recited for healing — the six Ayat al-Shifa in which Allah names shifa as a cure for body, heart and soul — and the fourteen sajdah verses at which the reciter prostrates in submission. Together these devotional readings form a daily companion: words to ask with, words to heal with, and moments to fall down before Allah.
