Every supplication preserved in the Book — Arabic, transliteration and meaning. The voices of the prophets and the prayers of the righteous.
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.
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.
As Ibrahim (peace be upon him) raised the foundations of the Kaaba with his son Isma'il, he prayed: "Our Lord, accept from us. Indeed, You are the All-Hearing, the All-Knowing." (2:127) He also asked for righteous descendants, a peaceful land, and a messenger from among them — duas that were all answered in the person of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ.
Standing before the most powerful tyrant of his age, Musa (peace be upon him) prayed: "My Lord, expand for me my breast, ease for me my task, and untie the knot from my tongue that they may understand my speech." (20:25-28) It is the dua of every teacher, every speaker, every person who must say a hard truth — a request for courage, clarity, and effect.
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.
