Dua from Quran | 19 Rabbana Duas & Supplications | Our faith in Islam opens channels to divine communication, bestowing upon us the blessed opportunity to speak our hearts’ quiet pleas, our minds’ quest for guidance, and our souls’ yearning for tranquillity. At the heart of this divine communication stands the ‘Dua’, an intimate form of supplication.
The Dua, often translated as supplication or invocation, is a sacred conversation between a believer and our Creator, Allah s.w.t. It serves as a spiritual connection to Allah, where we can pour out our deepest desires, seek guidance in life’s constant ebb and flow, and find solace in times of need.
Allah s.w.t reminds us of this profound privilege in the Quran: “Call upon Me, I will respond to you. Surely those who are too proud to worship Me will enter Hell, fully humbled.” – Ghafir (40:60). This verse is an affirmation of our access to Allah’s mercy, understanding, and comfort through Dua. It invites us to embrace humility and sincerity, to direct ourselves towards Allah s.w.t, and to immerse ourselves in this deep ocean of divine discourse.
In the ensuing exploration, we’ll delve into 19 Duas elucidated in the Quran, seeking to understand their wisdom, nurturing our souls, and fostering our connection to Allah s.w.t. May this journey be enlightening and enriching, a testament to the transformative power of Dua.
