Each dua on this page is copied from its source, not rewritten: the Quran from quran.com, and hadith from the collections named under each dua, checked on sunnah.com. Where a hadith grading is given, it is the grading of the scholar named next to it, not our own. Repetition counts appear only where the narration states them.
Each item is labelled as Quranic, an authentic Prophetic dua, a dua whose grading scholars dispute, a general dua, or popular wording with no established Prophetic source. Sources were last checked on 2026-10-07. Read our editorial standards, and if you find an error, please tell us.

"Our Lord". "Rabb" is Lord, and "-na" is "our". A dua said by one person often uses "Rabbi" (my Lord) instead.
"Rabbana atina fid-dunya hasanah, wa fil-akhirati hasanah, wa qina 'adhaban-nar" (Quran 2:201). Anas said that this dua, beginning "Allahumma Rabbana", was the one the Prophet ﷺ made most often (Sahih al-Bukhari 6389).
