O my Lord! Open for me my chest


 

رَبِّ اشْرَحْ لِي صَدْرِي وَيَسِّرْ لِي أَمْرِي وَاحْلُلْ عُقْدَةً مِنْ لِسَانِي يَفْقَهُوا قَوْلِي

 

Rabb-ishrah li sadri, wa yassir li ‘amri, Wah-lul ‘uqdatam-min-li-saani, Yaf-qahuu qawlii

 

O my Lord! Open for me my chest (grant me self-confidence, contentment, and boldness); Ease my task for me; And remove the impediment from my speech, so they may understand what I say
[Surah Ta-Ha; 20:25-28]
A du’a that Musa (alayhis salam) made when proceeding to the court of Fir’awn (Pharoah) for the arguments (inviting him to Islam)

 

 

O my Lord! I am indeed needy of whatever good You may send to me


 

رَبِّ إِنِّي لِمَا أَنزَلْتَ إِلَيَّ مِنْ خَيْرٍ فَقِيرٌ

 

Rabbi ‘inni limaa ‘anzalta ‘ilayya min khairin-faqeer

 

O my Lord! I am indeed needy of whatever good You may send to me
[Surah Qassas; 28:24]


The above du’a was made whilst sayyidina Musa (alayhis salam) was traveling to the desert of Madyan, with no place of shelter. He made this du’a while resting under the shade of a tree.

O Allah! I ask You for knowledge that is of benefit



اَللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ عِلْمًا نَافِعًا , وَ رِزْقًا طَيَّبًا , وَ عَمَلاً مُتَقَبَّلاً


Allahumma inni as’aluka ‘Ilman naafi’an, wa rizqan tayyiban, wa ‘amalan mutaqabbalan


O Allah! I ask You for knowledge that is of benefit, a good provision and deeds that will be accepted.
[Ibn Majah and others]

O Allah! Make easy for me every difficult thing


 

اللَّهُمَّ الْطُفْ بِىْ فِىْ تَيْسِيْرِ كُلِّ عَسِيْرٍ فَاِنَّ تَيْسِيْرَكُلِّ عَسِيْرٍ عَلَيْكَ يَسِيْرٌَ

 

Allahumma Oltuf bi fi taysiri kulli ‘aseer, fainna taysirra kuuli ‘aseerin ‘alaika yasser

 

O Allah!  Make easy for me every difficult thing, with Your special favor and Kindness, for it is easy for You to make every difficult thing easy
