What Are the 40 Rabbana Duas?

The 40 Rabbana duas, also searched as Chahal Rabbana, Chalis Rabbana or Forty Rabbana, are short supplications from the Quran in which prophets and believers call on Allah as “Rabbana” (Our Lord). People look for them to read, learn and make dua with the words of the Quran. Because these lists are compiled by different people, we do not copy a single list. We follow the Quran verse by verse, and we give the surah and verse number with every dua, so you can check each Rabbana dua yourself.

Rabbana Duas in Arabic, Roman English, Hindi, Urdu and English

Many people look for Rabbana duas with an Urdu or English translation, or in Arabic text. Every post in this section shows the dua in Arabic, in Roman English so you can read it, in Hindi and Urdu, and with the English meaning. The Arabic is the word of Allah. The Roman English, Hindi and Urdu lines only help you read and understand, so please learn the correct pronunciation from a qualified teacher.

How We Check Every Rabbana Dua

We want you to know what is proven and what is not. For each Rabbana dua we:

  • check the Quran text and the tafsir of the verse, such as Tafsir Ibn Kathir;
  • look for authentic Hadith about the dua and give their grading where we could find it;
  • list common claims about the dua, such as counts, wazifas and cures, in a section called “Common Beliefs About This Dua: What Is Right and What Is Not Proven”, and mark each one as authentic, not verified or not authentic.

We are not scholars, and we do not give rulings. For rulings, please ask a trusted scholar.

Frequently Asked Questions About Rabbana Duas

What does Rabbana mean?

Rabbana means “Our Lord”. Many duas in the Quran begin with it, because the believers call on Allah as their Lord.

Are all Rabbana duas said by prophets?

No. Some are said by prophets, for example Ibrahim and Ismail (peace be upon them) in Quran 2:127. Others are said by believers, such as the believers with Talut (Quran 2:250), the disciples of Isa (Quran 3:53), and the people of understanding (Quran 3:191 to 3:194).

When can I make Rabbana duas?

You can make them at any time. Allah invites us to call upon Him (Quran 40:60). In the sources we could open, we found no Hadith that sets a fixed number or a fixed time for reciting the Rabbana duas, and each post says what we checked.

Is it Sunnah to recite Rabbana duas after prayer?

We found no Hadith that tells us to recite the Rabbana duas as a set after prayer. There is a general Hadith about dua at the end of the obligatory prayers (Jami at-Tirmidhi 3499), but scholars differ in how they grade it, and it does not name these duas. Please ask a trusted scholar.

Is there a PDF of the 40 Rabbana duas?

At the moment we do not offer a PDF download. You can read every Rabbana dua online on its own page, with the Arabic, Roman English, Hindi, Urdu and English meaning.
