There are moments when you don't know which door to walk through. The Quran teaches us to ask Allah Himself to make the path obvious — His guidance is the way out of every dead-end.
Rabbana atina min ladunka rahmatan wa hayyi' lana min amrina rashada.
“Our Lord, give us from Yourself mercy, and prepare for us right guidance in our affair.”
The dua of the young men of the Cave, said when they chose faith over an impossible situation. For when you don't see the way forward yet.
La ilaha illa anta, subhanaka, inni kuntu mina-z-zalimin.
“There is no deity except You; exalted are You. Indeed, I have been of the wrongdoers.”
Yunus (Jonah) said this in the belly of the whale. The Prophet ﷺ said no Muslim makes this dua about any matter without Allah answering him. For when the situation feels impossible and the way out is unclear.
Rabbana la tuzigh qulubana ba'da idh hadaytana, wa hab lana min ladunka rahmah, innaka anta-l-Wahhab.
“Our Lord, let not our hearts deviate after You have guided us, and grant us from Yourself mercy. Indeed, You are the Bestower.”
A dua against the worst kind of loss — losing iman after you've tasted it. Say it when you feel your heart drifting, or when you fear it might.
