DUAS OF THE PROPHETS
Dua of Adam & Hawwa (A.S) to Allah in repentance:
رَبَّنَا ظَلَمْنَا أَنفُسَنَا وَإِن لَّمْ تَغْفِرْ لَنَا وَتَرْحَمْنَا لَنَكُونَنَّ مِنَ الْخَاسِرِينَ
(Rabbana thalamna anfusana wain lam taghfir lana watarhamna lanakoonanna mina alkhasireena)
("Our Lord! We have wronged ourselves. If You forgive us not, and bestow not upon us Your Mercy, we shall certainly be of the losers.") Al-Qur'an, 007.023 (Al-Araf)
Dua of Nooh A.S. for his parents and all Muslims
رَّبِّ ٱغۡفِرۡ لِى وَلِوَٲلِدَىَّ وَلِمَن دَخَلَ بَيۡتِىَ مُؤۡمِنً۬ا وَلِلۡمُؤۡمِنِينَ وَٱلۡمُؤۡمِنَـٰتِ
Rabbi ighfir lee waliwalidayya waliman dakhala baytiya muminan walilmumineena wa almuminaat
“My Lord! Forgive me, and my parents, and him who enters my home as a believer, and all the believing men and women”. (Surah Nooh 71:28)
He supplicated for all of the believing men and women, and that includes those of them who were living and those of them who were dead. For this reason, it is recommended to supplicate like this, in following the example of Nuh, and that which has been reported in the narrations and well-known, legislated supplications. Source : Tafsir Ibn Kathir
Ubaadah ibn as-Saamit radiallaahu ’anhu related that the Prophet ﷺ said: “Whosoever seeks forgiveness for the believing men and the believing women, Allaah will record for that person – equivalent to every believing man and believing woman – a good deed.” (Related by al-Haythamî at-Tabarani, classed as Hasan by Al-Albani)
Dua of Ibrahim (A.S) for widom and piety:
لِي حُكْمًا وَأَلْحِقْنِي بِالصَّالِحِينَ (26:83)
وَاجْعَل لِّي لِسَانَ صِدْقٍ فِي الْآخِرِينَ (26:84)
وَاجْعَلْنِي مِن وَرَثَةِ جَنَّةِ النَّعِيمِ (26:85)·
Rabbi hab lee hukman waalhiqnee bialssaliheena 26:83
My Lord! Bestow Hukman on me, and join me with the righteous·
WaijAAal lee lisana sidqin fee alakhireena 26:84
And grant me an honourable mention in later generations·
WaijAAalnee min warathati jannati alnnaAAeemi 26:85
And make me one of the inheritors of the Paradise of Delight
Dua of Ibrahim Abraham (A.S) for forgiveness for his parents:
رَبَّنَا اغْفِرْ لِي وَلِوَالِدَيَّ وَلِلْمُؤْمِنِينَ يَوْمَ يَقُومُ الْحِسَابُ
Rabbana ighfir lee waliwalidayya walilmumineena yawma yaqoomu alhisabu
"Our Lord! Forgive me and my parents, and (all) the believers on the Day when the reckoning will be established."Al-Qur'an, 14.041
Ibrahim A.S. said this before he declared himself innocent from his father, after he became sure that he was an enemy of Allah. (Tafsir ibn Kathir)
Dua of Ibrahim A.S. Seeking a Submissive Future Generation
رَبَّنَا وَاجْعَلْنَا مُسْلِمَيْنِ لَكَ وَمِن ذُرِّيَّتِنَا أُمَّةً مُّسْلِمَةً لَّكَ وَأَرِنَا مَنَاسِكَنَا وَتُبْ عَلَيْنَآ إِنَّكَ أَنتَ التَّوَّابُ الرَّحِيمُ
Rabbana waijAAalna muslimayni laka wamin thurriyyatina ommatan muslimatan laka waarina manasikana watub AAalayna innaka anta alttawwabu alrraheemu
"Our Lord! And make us submissive unto You and of our offspring a nation submissive unto You, and show us our Manasik (all the ceremonies of pilgrimage - Hajj and 'Umrah, etc.), and accept our repentance. Truly, You are the One Who accepts repentance, the Most MercifulO.” Al-Qur'an, 2.128 (Al-Baaqarah)
Dua of Ibrahim A.S. & Prophet Ismail A.S. for their deeds to be accepted
رَبَّنا تَقَبَّل مِنّا ۖ إِنَّكَ أَنتَ السَّميعُ العَليمُ وَتُب عَلَينا ۖ إِنَّكَ أَنتَ التَّوّابُ الرَّحيمُ
Rabbana taqabbal minna innaka antas Samee ul Aleem
“Our Lord! Accept (this service) from us. Verily! You are the All-Hearer, the All-Knower.” (Al-Baqarah 2:127)
The Sahaba and the righteous predecessors worked diligently in perfecting their actions and making them faultless, then after that, they showed great concern for acceptance of their actions. They did this because they feared that their actions would be rejected. They are those who gave what was incumbent upon them while their hearts were in a state of fear. It is reported that ‘Ali bin Abi Talib (radiallaahu ‘anhu) said: Be more concerned that your actions are accepted than your concern of performing the action itself. Did you not hear the statement of Allaah: Verily Allaah only accepts the actions of the Mutaqeen (pious).
The Sahabah would supplicate 6 months to Allaah to allow them to reach the month of Ramadan, and then upon completion of the month, they would again supplicate 6 months (begging) for acceptance of their fast.
Dua of Lut (A.S) to Allah for help

"Verily, distress has seized me, and You are the Most Merciful of all those who show mercy." Al-Qur'an, 021.083 (Al-Anbiya)
Dua of Yunus (A.S) repenting to Allah in the belly of the whale
لَّا إِلَهَ إِلَّا أَنتَ سُبْحَانَكَ إِنِّي كُنتُ مِنَ الظَّالِمِينَ
La ilaha illa anta subhanaka innee kuntu mina alththalimeena
“None has the right to be worshipped but You (O Allah)], Glorified (and Exalted) are You [above all that (evil) they associate with You]. Truly, I have been of the wrong-doers." Al-Qur'an, 021.087 (Al-Anbiya)

"My Lord! Truly, I am in need of whatever good that You bestow on me!" Al-Qur'an, 28.024 (Al-Qasas)

Rabbi laa tadharni fardan wa anta khayr ul-waaritheen
O My Lord! Leave me not single (childless), though You are the Best of the inheritors. (21 : 89)
The best Dua on Arafat by All the Prophets
The Prophet ﷺ said:The best thing that I and the Prophets have said on the evening of ‘Arafah is : (At-Tirmithi. Al-Albani graded it good in Sahih)
لَا إِلهَ إِلاّ اللهُ وَحْدَهُ لَا شَرِيكَ لَهُ، لَهُ المُلْكُ وَلَهُ الْحَمدُ، وَهُوَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيءٍ قَدِيرٌ
Laa ‘ilaaha ‘illallaahu wahdahu laa shareeka lahu, lahul-mulku wa lahul-hamdu wa Huwa ‘alaa kulli shay’in Qadeer.
(None has the right to be worshipped but Allah alone, Who has no partner. His is the dominion and His is the praise, and He is Able to do all things).
Note: These are not all the Duas mentioned in the Quran that were made by the Prophets, we just listed the smaller ones and the ones we felt we need most.
TIPS FOR THE TEST
