The 40 Rabbana duas in this course

What are Rabbana duas?

Rabbana duas are Quranic supplications that address Allah as "Rabbana", meaning "Our Lord". Prophets and believers spoke these words, and the Quran records them as prayers we can learn, understand and use.

This course follows 40 of them, in Quran order from Surah Al-Baqarah to Surah At-Tahrim, with a few that use the closely related "Rabbi" (My Lord). Each one has its own lesson with Arabic audio, transliteration, an English meaning, the Quranic setting and a short quiz.

How to study these duas

• Read the meaning and the setting in the lesson notes, then use the transliteration as a reading aid. A teacher can give feedback on pronunciation.
• Take the short quiz after each lesson to check you have understood it.
• Revisit the words with the flashcard deck for each module.
• Use each module's Family Guide PDF to talk about the duas together at home.
