When we make Dua we feel relieved after describing our difficulties to our Creator. Allah says:
وَقَالَ رَبُّكُمُ ادْعُونِي أَسْتَجِبْ لَكُمْ إِنَّ الَّذِينَ يَسْتَكْبِرُونَ عَنْ عِبَادَتِي سَيَدْخُلُونَ جَهَنَّمَ دَاخِرِينَ

This profound act of worship not only brings our hearts closer to Allah but serves as a beacon of hope, resilience, and strength. Let’s cherish this gift, use it often, and encourage others to harness its unparalleled potential.
Here are some powerful problems with easy solutions through Quranic Duas:
- If you want a Good Spouse/Children: Most people ask about “How they can get a good Husband or Wife” or anything that can make them conceive children. So, Quran has all the answers to their query.
وَالَّذِيۡنَ يَقُوۡلُوۡنَ رَبَّنَا هَبۡ لَـنَا مِنۡ اَزۡوَاجِنَا وَذُرِّيّٰتِنَا قُرَّةَ اَعۡيُنٍ وَّاجۡعَلۡنَا لِلۡمُتَّقِيۡنَ اِمَامًا
“Our Lord, let our spouses and children be a source of joy for us, and keep us in the forefront of the righteous.” (Surah Al-Furqan 25:74)
2. For Allah’s Mercy: Allah is Ar-Rahman Ar-Raheem if you think you have ever sinned, no matter how big it is, make sure you seek his refuge, so you can live peacefully under the shade of his blessings.
أَفَلَا يَتُوبُونَ إِلَى اللَّهِ وَيَسْتَغْفِرُونَهُ وَاللَّهُ غَفُورٌ رَّحِيم
“Would they not repent to GOD, and ask His forgiveness. GOD is Forgiver, Most Merciful”. (Surah Al-Ma’dah 5:74)
3. For Finding Out The Truth: You may come to a place in life where everything is uncertain, especially when you have to make a tough decision ever in your life, this dua is perfect for that situation.
لِّيَجْزِيَ اللَّهُ الصَّادِقِينَ بِصِدْقِهِمْ وَيُعَذِّبَ الْمُنَافِقِينَ إِن شَاءَ أَوْ يَتُوبَ عَلَيْهِمْ إِنَّ اللَّهَ كَانَ غَفُورًا رَّحِيمً
“That Allah may reward the truthful for their truth and punish the hypocrites if He wills or accept their repentance.” (Al-Ahzab: 24)
4. Asking Allah To Make You A Righteous Person: Earning Jannah is not an easy task, continuously asking Allah to make you a righteous person as well as making an effort to be a better person can make all of this happen.
وَقُل لِّعِبَادِي يَقُولُوا الَّتِي هِيَ أَحْسَنُ إِنَّ الشَّيْطَانَ يَنزَغُ بَيْنَهُمْ إِنَّ الشَّيْطَانَ كَانَ لِلْإِنسَانِ عَدُوًّا مُّبِينً
“And tell My servants to treat each other in the best possible manner, for the devil will always try to drive a wedge among them. Indeed Satan is ever, to mankind, a clear enemy”. (17:53)
5. Purification: In this era, we are surrounded by dirt like vulgarity nudity and interest. And somehow all of us are the victims of these dirty things, asking Allah to make you pure will help you eradicate the useless thoughts coming into your head.
“Our Lord, We heard a herald calling towards Faith: ‘Believe in your Lord.’ So we believed. Our Lord, forgive us, then, our sins, and write off our evil deeds, and make us die only when we have joined the righteous”. (Surah Ali Imran 3:193)
6. Strengthening your Imaan: Duniya is full of temptations and Haram things, and Satan is free, violating our soules. We have to protect our Imaan, and for that cause, we need to seek Allah’s help by reciting this dua.
رَبَّنَا لَا تُزِغْ قُلُوبَنَا بَعْدَ إِذْ هَدَيْتَنَا وَهَبْ لَنَا مِنْ لَدُنْكَ رَحْمَةً ۚ إِنَّكَ أَنْتَ الْوَهَّابُ
“Our Lord, let not our hearts deviate after You have guided us and granted us from Yourself mercy. Indeed, You are the Bestower”. (Surat Ali Imran 3:8)
7. Asking For Easiness When Facing Hardship: We blogged about Duas to recite while facing stress, sadness, and trouble. But this is also a great dua which you can recite to make your troubles go away.
أُولَٰئِكَ الَّذِينَ اشْتَرَوُا الْحَيَاةَ الدُّنْيَا بِالْآخِرَةِ فَلَا يُخَفَّفُ عَنْهُمُ الْعَذَابُ وَلَا هُمْ يُنصَرُون
“Those are the ones who bought the worldly life at the cost of the Hereafter. So, the punishment shall not be lightened for them, nor shall they be helped”. (Ayah al-Baqarah 2:86)
8. Seeking Allah’s Forgiveness: Always seek Allah’s forgiveness no matter how good you think you are. When Umar (RA) was dying, he was continuously seeking Allah’s forgiveness. Although the Prophet (PBUH) had given him the highest rank, he still sought Allah’s forgiveness.
وَمَن يَعْمَلْ سُوءًا أَوْ يَظْلِمْ نَفْسَهُ ثُمَّ يَسْتَغْفِرِ اللَّهَ يَجِدِ اللَّهَ غَفُورًا رَّحِيمً
“And whoever does evil or wrongs his soul then seeks forgiveness (of) Allah he will find Allah Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful”. (Surah an-Nisa 4:110)
9. Dua for Patience: All of us are hasty in making decisions or doing any work, we do not have patience, while Allah loves the Patient People as the verse in the Quran goes “Allah is with the people who do Sabr”
يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا اسْتَعِينُوا بِالصَّبْرِ وَالصَّلَاةِ إِنَّ اللَّهَ مَعَ الصَّابِرِين
“Seek help through patience and the prayer. Indeed, Allah (is) with the patient ones”. (Surah al-Baqarah 2:153)
10. Dua For AfterLife: All Muslims believe that all of us have to die and we will be gathering on the Day of Judgment in front of Allah with all the Good and bad deeds we have done in life.
وَمِنْهُم مَّن يَقُولُ رَبَّنَا آتِنَا فِي الدُّنْيَا حَسَنَةً وَفِي الْآخِرَةِ حَسَنَةً وَقِنَا عَذَابَ النَّار
But there are among them such as prayer, “O our Sustainer! Grant us good in this world and good in the life to come, and keep us safe from suffering through the fire”. (Surah al-Baqarah 2:201)
Dua, It is the strongest weapon. But it works only for those who try sincerely and seriously to use it. We ask for guidance from Allah when facing this hurdle. Allah listens to us when we make Dua. We should always seek help from Allah. We should make Dua at all times, not only during times of distress. Allah s.w.t. knows best of our thoughts and intentions. Muslims should always make Dua to solve their problems with the help and mercy of Allah.
