Ultimate Supplications

 

And when My servants ask you, [O Muhammad], concerning Me – indeed I am near. I respond to the invocation of the supplicant when he calls upon Me. So let them respond to Me [by obedience] and believe in Me that they may be [rightly] guided. [Qur’an 2:186]

In another verse Allah tells Muhammad (pbuh) to tell his followers:

 

Say, [O Muhammad], “I only invoke my Lord and do not associate with Him anyone.” [Qur’an 72:20].

Perhaps one of the most beautiful verses in which Allah explicitly

 

In general, you can make a supplication in any language that you are comfortable with but those mentioned in the Qur’an and Sunnah are greater in eloquence, meaning, blessing, and effect. Therefore, I have made a collections of them from the teachings of the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) which I feel are very important and that every Muslim should try his/her best to memorize or at least make a habit to regularly recite even via an app or small booklet. This book has far more collection of supplications than you think.

 

All of them are circumstantial supplications, which means that they are to be uttered after a particular event occurs as taught to us by the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh). One of the reasons he taught us such supplications was so that we can constantly keep our tongues wet with the remembrance of Allah. We are told in the Qur’an to remember Allah at all times and such supplications help us remember Him all of the time:

 

And when you have completed the prayer, remember Allah standing, sitting, or [lying] on your sides. But when you become secure, re-establish [regular] prayer. Indeed, prayer has been decreed upon the believers a decree of specified times. [Qur’an 4:103]

All of them can be easily memorized because they are not very long.
