The Quran is a gift beyond words — a source of guidance, healing, and wisdom.
If you want to truly connect with the Quran and gain deep knowledge, it’s important to turn to the most powerful tool you have: Dua (supplication).

Here are 5 beautiful duas you can regularly make to seek Quranic knowledge, understanding, and memorization, inshaAllah.

1. Dua for Increasing Knowledge

رَّبِّ زِدْنِي عِلْمًا
“Rabbi zidni ilma.”
(Surah Taha, 20:114)

Meaning:
“My Lord, increase me in knowledge.”

Why this Dua?
This short yet powerful dua was taught to our Prophet Muhammad ﷺ.
It reminds us that knowledge is not something we earn by effort alone — it’s a gift from Allah.

Tip:
Say this dua before starting your Quran study every day!

2. Dua for Wisdom and Clear Speech

رَبِّ اشْرَحْ لِي صَدْرِي وَيَسِّرْ لِي أَمْرِي وَاحْلُلْ عُقْدَةً مِّن لِّسَانِي يَفْقَهُوا قَوْلِي
“Rabbi ishrah li sadri wa yassir li amri, wahlul ‘uqdatan min lisani, yafqahu qawli.”
(Surah Taha, 20:25-28)

Meaning:
“My Lord, expand for me my chest (with assurance), ease for me my task, and untie the knot from my tongue that they may understand my speech.”

Why this Dua?
This dua was made by Prophet Musa عليه السلام when he was assigned the mission to speak to Pharaoh.
It’s perfect for anyone seeking clarity, ease in understanding, and confidence when reciting or explaining the Quran.

3. Dua for Understanding and Memory

اللّهُمَّ انْفَعْنِي بِمَا عَلَّمْتَنِي وَعَلِّمْنِي مَا يَنْفَعُنِي وَزِدْنِي عِلْمًا
“Allahumma anfa’ni bima ‘allamtani wa ‘allimni ma yanfa’uni wa zidni ilma.”

Meaning:
“O Allah, benefit me with what You have taught me, teach me what will benefit me, and increase me in knowledge.”

Why this Dua?
Sometimes we learn but forget. This dua asks Allah to make our knowledge beneficial, lasting, and ever-growing.

4. Dua for Light (Noor) in Heart and Mind

اللّهُمَّ اجْعَلْ فِي قَلْبِي نُورًا وَفِي لِسَانِي نُورًا وَفِي سَمْعِي نُورًا وَفِي بَصَرِي نُورًا
“Allahumma aj’al fi qalbi noora, wa fi lisani noora, wa fi sam’i noora, wa fi basari noora.”
(Sahih al-Bukhari)

Meaning:
“O Allah, place light in my heart, light in my tongue, light in my hearing, and light in my sight.”

Why this Dua?
The Quran is a light (Noor) from Allah.
This dua asks for that light to fill your senses and your soul, making you receptive to Quranic knowledge and wisdom.

5. Dua for Firmness and Guidance

يَا مُقَلِّبَ الْقُلُوبِ ثَبِّتْ قَلْبِي عَلَى دِينِكَ
“Ya Muqallibal-quloob, thabbit qalbi ‘ala deenik.”

Meaning:
“O Turner of hearts, make my heart firm upon Your religion.”

Why this Dua?
Seeking Quranic knowledge is a journey.
Sometimes doubts, distractions, or hardships can shake your spirit.
This dua asks Allah to keep your heart steady, strong, and faithful as you grow in your understanding of the Quran.

Final Thoughts

Keep making these duas with sincerity, and trust that Allah will open the doors of wisdom for you in beautiful ways.
