The following is a selection of dua's that our beloved Prophet (e) used and recommended us
to use. In some books there are many long dua's for every round of tawaaf and sa'ee, most
of which have no basis in the sunnah. I urge you to use the following dua's, especially in
Arafat. Also review the manner of supplication in chapter 8. If you wish to keep these dua's
with you to use all the time, keep in mind that I have published a pocket guide with these
dua's.
ربننا َ ظَ ظَلَل مننا َأَأننُفُف سننا و وِإِإ ْ نْ ن لََّّلََّّل م ت غف ر َلَلننا وت ر ح مننا َلَلن ُ كُ كون ن م ن اْلْل خ خا س سِرِري ن
“Our Lord, we have wronged our souls, so if You do not forgive us and have mercy upon us,
(then) we will surely be among the losers.”
{Surah al-A’raf (7) ayah 23}
لالالالا ِإِإله ِإِإلاََّّلالاََّّلا َأَأن ت سب ح حان ك ِإِإنني ُ كُ كن ت م ن الظََّّظََّّظال م ينين
“There is no god except You. Glory unto You. Truly was I among the wrongdoers.”
{Surah al-Anbiya (21) ayah 87}
وت ب ععَلَليننا ِإِإن ك َأَأن ت الت ووا ب الر ححي م
“And accept our repentance. Truly, You are the One who (continually) accepts repentance,
the Most Merciful.”
{Surah al-Baqarah (2) ayah 128}

Our Lord, blame us not if we forget or fall into error. Our Lord, lay not upon us a burden like
that which You placed upon those before us. Our Lord, lay not upon us a burden greater
than we can bear. And pardon us and forgive us and have mercy upon us. You are our
protector, so give us victory over the disbelieving people.”
{Surah al-Baqarah (2) ayah 286}
ربننا لالالالا تِزِز ْ غْ غ ُقُقُلُل وبننا ب ع د ِإِإ ْ ذْ ذ ه ديتننا و ه ب َلَلننا م ن لََّّلََّّل دن ك ر ح م مًةًة ِإِإن ك َأَأن ت اْلْل و ه ها ب

mercy. Indeed, it is You who is the Giver (of all things).”

“My Lord, forgive me and my parents and whoever enters my house a believer and the
believing men and believing women. And increase not the wrongdoers except in ruin.”
{Surah Nuh (71) ayah 28}

“Our Lord, give us in this world that which is good and in the Hereafter that which is good
and protect us from the torment of the Fire.”

“O my Lord, grant me power and ability to be grateful for Your favour which You have
bestowed upon me and upon my parents, and that I may work righteousness such as will
please You; and make my offspring righteous. Truly have I repented to You, and truly do I
submit (to You) in Islam.”
{Surah al-Ahqaf (46) ayah 15}
ربننا تتَقَقب ْ لْ ل مننا ِإِإن ك َأَأن ت ال س ممي ع اْلْلعللي م
“Our Lord, accept this from us. Truly, You are the most Hearing, Knowing.”

“O Allah, You are my Lord. There is no god but You. You created me and I am Your servant,
and I uphold Your covenant and (my) promise to You as much as I am able. I seek refuge in
You from the evil I have done. I acknowledge before You Your favour upon me, and I
acknowledge my sin; so forgive me. Indeed, there is none who can forgive sins except You.”
(Bukhari and an-Nasa’i)

“O Allah, forgive me my sins, my ignorance and my excesses, and that which You know more
than I. O Allah, forgive me for that committed by me in jest or seriousness, in error or
deliberation, and all of that is with (in) me. O Allah, forgive me my past and present (sins)
and that committed secretly and openly and that which You know more than I. You are the
Advancer, the Postponer and You have the ability over all things.”
(Bukhari and Muslim)
