Who Made This Dua?

This dua comes from Prophet Ibrahim عليه السلام and appears in Surah Ibrahim, verses 40–41. It brings together requests for steadfastness in prayer, righteousness among his descendants, acceptance of his supplication, and forgiveness for himself, his parents, and the believers.

Original Quran references: Surah Ibrahim 14:40 and Surah Ibrahim 14:41.

Background of the Dua

These verses form part of a longer passage recording Ibrahim’s عليه السلام supplications. He asks Allah to make Makkah secure, protect him and his children from idol worship, and provide for the family he settled near the Sacred House.

Immediately before this dua, he thanks Allah for blessing him with Ismail and Ishaq عليهما السلام in his old age. He then asks for a family legacy rooted in prayer and seeks Allah’s forgiveness for the Day of Reckoning.

Meaning and Explanation

The dua moves from personal worship to concern for family and the wider community of believers.

“Rabbij‘alnee muqeemas-salaati” — My Lord, make me one who establishes prayer

Ibrahim عليه السلام begins with himself. He asks Allah for the ability to maintain salah faithfully.

For us, these words are a reminder to seek Allah’s help with our worship and take practical steps to pray regularly, on time, and with attention.

“Wa min dhurriyyatee” — And also some of my descendants

The prayer extends to his children and future generations. The word dhurriyyah includes descendants, while min means “from” or “among.”

Parents can recite these words with hope for their children’s relationship with Allah. They also invite us to think about the example we set through our own prayers and conduct.

“Rabbanaa wa taqabbal du‘aa’” — Our Lord, accept my supplication

Ibrahim عليه السلام asks Allah to accept his prayer. This expresses humility and dependence on Allah’s mercy.

“Rabbanaghfir lee wa liwaalidayya wa lil-mu’mineen” — Our Lord, forgive me, my parents, and the believers

The second verse broadens the supplication further. It includes oneself, one’s parents, and the community of believers in a request for forgiveness.

A lesson we can draw is to remember others when making dua. Alongside our personal needs, we can ask Allah to show mercy to our families and fellow believers.

“Yawma yaqoomul-hisaab” — On the Day the reckoning takes place

The final words refer to the Day of Judgment. They remind us of our accountability before Allah and our need for His forgiveness.

Lessons From This Dua

This supplication encourages us to make prayer a lasting part of our lives, care about the faith of future generations, and remember our parents and fellow believers.

It also connects our daily actions with the Hereafter. We ask for help with worship now and forgiveness when we stand before Allah.

For parents, a practical way to live by its meaning is to combine dua with patient teaching, gentle encouragement, and a consistent example of salah at home.

When Can You Recite It?

You can include these verses in your daily supplications, especially when praying for steadfastness in salah, your children’s faith, and forgiveness for yourself and your family.

These verses do not prescribe a specific repetition count. Recite them with understanding and sincerity, while working towards the qualities you ask Allah to grant.
