Seeking knowledge:
These ayah’s from Surah Taha (Verses 25-28) were the supplication of
Prophet Musa (peace be upon him), who had a problem with fluency in
speech. In order to get the compassion of Allah (swt), he would recite this
dua in times of distress. Out of all duas for students, this supplication can
serve many purposes, as it can be used for standardized tests, and to help
improve your speech both orally and in writing. Recite this duaa before
delivering lectures, a big interview or any time you might need it:
َ ِّ‫ع ْقدَة ً ِ ِّمن ِل‬

‫سا ِني َي ْفقَ ُهوا قَ ْو ِلي‬ ُ ‫س ْر ِلي أ َ ْم ِري َواحْ لُ ْل‬ َ ‫ب ا ْش َرحْ ِلي‬
ِّ ِ ‫صد ِْري َو َي‬ ِ ِّ ‫َر‬
Rabbishrah lee sadree Wayassir lee amree Wahlul ‘uqdatan min

lisanee Yafqahoo qawlee
“O my Sustainer! Open up my heart and make my task easy for me, and
loosen the knot from my tongue so that they might fully understand my
speech.”
Before Studying:
ُ ‫ َو ا ْن‬،‫اب ِع ْل َم َك‬
‫ش ْر‬ َ ْ‫ت ْال َو ْه ِم َو ا ْفتَح‬
َ ‫علَ ْينَا اَب َْو‬ ُ ‫ََللَّ ُه َّم ا َ ْك ِر ْم ْن ْي بِنُ ْو ِر ْالفَ ْه ِم َو خ ََّر َجنِ ْي ِم ْن‬
ِ ‫ظلُ َما‬
، َ‫اح ِميْن‬ َّ ‫علَ ْينَا ُخ َّزانَ َم ْع ِرفَتِ َك يَا ا َ ْر َح َم‬

ِ ‫الر‬ َ
َ‫اح ِميْن‬ ِ ُ ‫سآ ِئ ِل ِمنَ ْال ُكت‬

َّ ‫ب ِب َرحْ َم ِت َك َيا ا َ ْر َح َم‬
ِ ‫الر‬ َ ‫ت ْال َم‬ َ ‫اَللَّ ُه َّم َو ِفِّ ْق ِن ْي ِف ْى ْال ُم‬
ِ َ‫طالَ َع ِة بِ َح ِِّل َج ِميْعِ ُم ْش ِكال‬
Allaahumma akrimnee binooril fahmi wa kharrajanee min

z’ulumaatil wahmi waftah’ a’lainaa abwaaba i’lmak. Wan shur
a’lainaa khuzzaanu ma’rifatika yaa arh’amar raah’imeen.
Allaahumma waffiqnee fil mut’aala’ti bih’ablee jamee-i’ mushkilaatil
masaa-ili minal kutubi birah’matika yaa arh’amar raah’imeen.
“Oh Allah, honor me by the light of understanding and take me out from the
darkness of doubt and open upon us the doors of your knowledge and open
upon us the treasure of your recognition, oh the best of the Merciful ones. Oh
Allah, and give me Tawfeeq to study and solving all the difficult problems
through books. By your mercy, oh the best of the merciful ones.”
After Studying:
‫ِير‬ َ ‫ ِإنِّ َك‬،‫ي ِع ْندَ َحا َجتِي ِإلَي ِه‬
ُ ‫على َما تَشَا ُء قَد‬ ِّ ‫عل‬َ ُ ‫ضه‬ُ ‫ فَ ُر‬، ُ‫ظت‬ْ َ‫ع َك َما قَرأتُ َو َما َحف‬
ُ ‫اللَّ ُه َّم ِإنِِّي أ َ ْست َْو ِد‬
‫الو ِكيل‬َ ‫ت َح ْس ِبي َونِ ْع َم‬َ ‫َوأ َ ْن‬
Allahumma inni astaodeeka ma qara’tu wama hafaz-tu. Farudduhu

‘allaya inda hajati elahi. Innaka ‘ala ma-tasha’-u qadeer wa anta
hasbeeya wa na’mal wakeel
“Oh Allah! I entrust you with what I have read and I have studied. Oh Allah!
Bring it back to me when I am in need of it. Oh Allah! You do whatever you
wish, you are my availer and protector and the best of aid.”
For Maintaining Concentration:

‫سانِ ِه‬ ِ ‫ اللَّ ُه َّم إِنِِّي أَسْألُ َك يَا ُمذَ ِك َر ال َخ ْي ِر َوفَا ِعلَهُ َو‬.‫على ُم َح ِّم ٍد َوآ ِل ُم َح ِّمد‬
َ ِّ‫اآلم َر بِ ِه ذَ ِك ِّرنِي َما اَن‬ َ ِّ‫صل‬
َ ُ‫ى هللا‬ َ
‫طان‬ َ ‫شي‬ِّ ‫ال‬
Salla-l-laahu alaa Muhammad wa aal-e Muhammad. Allahumma

inni as’aluka yaa mudhakkira-l khayr wa faa’ilahu wa-l-aamimira
bihi dhakir-ni maa ansaani-hi-shaytan.
“Blessings of Allah be upon Muhammad and his progeny. O Allah, I ask you,
the one who mentions goodness and actualizes it and commands it, remind
me of that which the shaytan makes me forget.”
To Remember Forgotten Things:

The following dua’a was taught by our Prophet Muhammed (pbuh) to Imam
Ali to be recited after every obligatory Salaat in order to develop a flawless
memory. Who doesn’t want a flawless memory? Make it a habit or at least
increase recitation of this dua before test day:
َ‫سبْحان‬ ِ ‫وان ْالعَذا‬
ُ ‫ب‬ ِ ‫ض بأ َ ْل‬ ِ ‫سبْحانَ َم ْن ال يَأ ُخذُ ا َ ْه َل االَ ْْ ْر‬ ُ ‫على أ ْه ِل َم ْملَ َكتِ ِه‬ َ ‫سبْحانَ َم ْن ال يَ ْعت َدي‬
ُ
‫على ُك ِِّل شَي قَدير‬ ْ
َ ‫صرا ً َوفَ ْهما ً َو ِعلما ً اِنَّ َك‬ ْ
َ ‫عل لي في قَلبى نُورا ً َو َب‬ ِّ
ْ ‫حيم اَللـ ُه َّما ْ َج‬
ِ ‫الر‬
َّ ‫ف‬ ِ ‫ؤو‬ ُ ‫الر‬
َّ .
“Glory be to Him who does not treat the citizens of His Kingdom unjustly
and harshly, Glory be to Him who does not let torment and pain come
suddenly upon mankind, Glory be to the Compassionate, the Merciful. O
Allah fill my heart and mind with true enlightenment, discerning intelligence,
quick understanding and knowledge, Verily you are able to do all things.”
When Studying Something Difficult:

ً‫س ْهال‬ َ ِّ‫س ْهالً َوأَن‬
َ ‫ت ت َ ِّج َع َل ال َحزَ نَ ِإذَا ِش‬
َ ‫ئت‬ َ ‫س ْهالً ِإ ِّالَ َما َج َعلِّت َه‬
َ َ‫اللَّ ُه َّم ال‬
Allahumma la sahla illama ja-‘altahu sahla anta taj ‘alu al hazana
eza ma shi’ta sahal
“Oh Allah! Nothing is easy except what You have made easy. If You wish,
You can make the difficult easy.”
To Suppress Anxiety and Fear:

You may often experience frustration, fear, and anxiety in exams, which may
adversely affect your performance. Recite this dua, reported by Anas (may
Allah be pleased with him), that the Prophet (pbuh) used to say when
something upset him.
‫عوذُ بِ َك ِمنَ ْال َه ِ ِّم َو ْال َحزَ ِن‬

ُ َ ‫للَّ ُه َّم إِنِِّي أ‬
َ ‫عوذُ بِ َك ِمنَ العَجْ ِز َو ْال َك‬

‫س ِل‬ ُ َ ‫َو أ‬
‫عوذُ ِب َك ِمنَ ْال ُجب ِْن َو ْالب ُْخ ِل‬

ُ َ ‫َو أ‬
ُ َ ‫َو أ‬
َ ‫عوذُ ِب َك ِم ْن‬
‫غلَ َب ِة الدَّي ِْن و قَ ْه ِر الرجال‬
Allahumma inni a’oodhoo bika minal-hammi walhuzni, wal-‘ajzi

wal-kasali wal-bukhli wal-jubni, wa dal’id-dayni wa ghalabatir-
rajaal
“O Allah! I seek refuge in You from anxiety and sorrow, weakness and
laziness, miserliness and cowardice, the burden of debts and from being
oppressed by men.”
