Rabbana la tu’akhidhna in nasina aw akhta’na. Rabbana wa la tahmil ‘alayna isran kama hamaltahu ‘alal-ladhina min qablina. Rabbana wa la tuhammilna ma la taqata lana bih. Wa‘fu ‘anna, waghfir lana, warhamna. Anta mawlana fansurna ‘alal-qawmil-kafirin.
Our Lord, do not hold us accountable if we forget or make a mistake. Our Lord, do not place on us a burden like that placed on those before us. Our Lord, do not burden us with what we cannot bear. Pardon us, forgive us and have mercy on us. You are our Protector, so grant us help against the disbelieving people.
Rabbana amanna bima anzalta wattaba‘nar-rasula faktubna ma‘ash-shahidin.
Our Lord, we believe in what You revealed and follow the messenger; write us among the witnesses.
Rabbij‘alni muqimas-salati wa min dhurriyyati Rabbana wa taqabbal du‘a’.
My Lord, make me one who establishes prayer, and likewise my descendants. Our Lord, accept my supplication.
Rabbighfir warham wa anta khayrur-rahimin.
My Lord, forgive and have mercy. You are the best of those who show mercy.
Allahumma laka aslamtu wa bika amantu wa ‘alayka tawakkaltu wa ilayka anabtu wa bika khasamtu wa ilayka hakamtu. Faghfir li ma qaddamtu wa ma akhkhartu wa ma asrartu wa ma a‘lantu. Antal-Muqaddimu wa antal-Mu’akhkhiru la ilaha illa ant.
O Allah, I submit to You, believe in You, rely on You and return to You. With Your help I contend, and to You I turn for judgment. Forgive what I have done before and what comes later, what I have concealed and what I have made public. You bring forward and You hold back; there is no god except You.
La ilaha illa anta subhanaka inni kuntu minaz-zalimin.
There is no deity except You. You are beyond all imperfection. I have indeed been among those who did wrong.
Rabbi-shrah li sadri. Wa yassir li amri. Wahlul ‘uqdatan min lisani. Yafqahu qawli.
My Lord, open my heart, make my task easier, and loosen the impediment in my speech so that they understand what I say.
Rabbi inni lima anzalta ilayya min khayrin faqir.
My Lord, I am in need of whatever good You send to me.
Rabbana zalamna anfusana wa il-lam taghfir lana wa tarhamna lanakunanna minal-khasirin.
Our Lord, we have wronged ourselves. Unless You forgive us and show us mercy, we will surely be among those who lose.
Allahumma anta Rabbi, la ilaha illa ant, khalaqtani wa ana ‘abduk, wa ana ‘ala ‘ahdika wa wa‘dika mastata‘t. A‘udhu bika min sharri ma sana‘t. Abu’u laka bini‘matika ‘alayya wa abu’u laka bidhanbi, faghfir li, fa innahu la yaghfirudh-dhunuba illa ant.
O Allah, You are my Lord; there is no deity except You. You created me and I am Your servant. I keep to Your covenant and promise as far as I can. I seek Your protection from the evil of what I have done. I acknowledge Your favour upon me and my sin, so forgive me; none forgives sins except You.
Allahumma inni as’alukal-huda wat-tuqa wal-‘afafa wal-ghina.
O Allah, I ask You for guidance, mindfulness of You, chastity, and freedom from need.
Who is speaking?
The Quranic cards include requests associated with Adam, Musa, Yunus and Ibrahim. Their verse references identify the story and whether the card shows an excerpt or a full passage.
Not every Quranic prayer in a related collection is spoken directly by a prophet. The disciples’ request in Quran 3:53, for example, has its own speakers within Isa’s story. Keep that attribution clear.
Quran and hadith are different source labels
A Quranic quotation is identified by its surah and verse. A formula transmitted from the Prophet is identified by its hadith report and, where relevant, an attributed assessment.
Sayyid al-Istighfar from Sahih al-Bukhari 6306 and a night-prayer excerpt from Bukhari 1120 therefore retain different labels from Musa’s Quranic requests. They should not all be captioned as one identical spoken text.
Learning through context
Choose one story or request to study, read its surrounding passage and identify what the speaker is asking for. This makes the meaning more useful than memorising a large unattributed list.
A modern application to work, study or hardship should remain distinguishable from the original event. It does not establish a new occasion-specific ritual or guaranteed outcome.
Common questions
Are all cards spoken by Prophet Muhammad? No; source and speaker differ. Are all Quranic requests spoken by prophets? Some record other believers. Must I read them as a single daily sequence? No such collection-wide prescription is made. Where can I continue? The Musa, Yunus and Rabbana pages offer narrower ways to study the texts.
