40 Rabbana Duas - Quranic Duas That Start with

Rabbana duas: Have you ever taken a cake out of the oven five minutes early? Or left a long queue only to find yourself in even a longer queue than before?

It is human nature to be impatient or very impatient. And to want something so badly that minutes seem like weeks and, days seem like months. This impatient nature is triggered when we have a goal in life we desperately want to achieve. Impatience is the gateway between making good and bad decisions.

It is natural to be hungry and want to be fed immediately, but stealing to feed yourself is where we are wrong. This is why patience is a virtue, placing your faith in Allah SWT, believing that it will happen if something is destined for you.

To achieve what we want not only by working towards our goals but also by asking Allah SWT’s help along the way. We want instant results for everything be it weight loss, or a new recipe but dua’as don’t work that way. It is up to Allah SWT how, when, and where they have to be answered. We just need to play our part and leave the rest to Allah SWT.

What Are Rabbana Duaá’s?

There are 40 duaás in the Quran which were revealed that begin with the Arabic word رَبَّنَا meaning My Lord, these verses ask Allah SWT for wealth, prosperity, forgiveness, success, and safety.

Duaá is the weapon of the believer, the essence of worship. a tool that can be used to change what Allah SWT has already decreed for us. Through supplications, we can ease the hardships, tests, and trials that Allah SWT might have written for us.

There is a duaá for every situation as you go through life, duaás will bring comfort and peace to your life more than anything.

When prepping for exams we don’t prepare just enough so that we could pass, we give it our best. In the same way, our duaás have to be powerful, what happens after that is not our concern, but we have to make sure they are equipped with everything that Sunnah requires.

You can’t ask Allah SWT for your dream job and then never take any serious action to make it
happen. It does not work like that. We ask Allah SWT to make something possible, yet without his decree, nothing can happen. But we must take the necessary steps forward and trust that He knows what’s best for us.

There is something we learn firsthand by analyzing the stories of Musa and Zakariya عليه السلام. in the Quran, it tells us their duaás were fulfilled because of the good they did before asking Allah SWT. Another pattern that has been noticed by the Prophets of Allah SWT, is that they used the rightful attributes and names of Allah SWT.

BENEFITS OF 40 RABBANA DUAÁS: There isn’t any instrument that can gauge the reward of these duaás. They were a part of many of the Prophets’ lives and hence hold great virtue.
