Rabbi Yassir wala tu-assir. Rabbi tammim bil khair.

Rabbi
zidni ilman war-zuqni fahman.
O my Lord, make things easier for me, do not make things difcult for me. O My Lord, let my
affairs end with goodness. O my Lord, increase my knowledge and grant me understanding
Seeking knowledge:
These ayahs from Surah Taha (Verses 25-28) were the supplication of Prophet Musa (peace
be upon him), who had a problem with fluency in speech. In order to get the compassion of
Allah (swt), he would recite this dua in times of distress. Out of all duas for students, this
supplication can serve many purposes, as it can be used for standardized tests, and to help
improve your speech both orally and in writing. Recite this duaa before delivering lectures, a
big interview or any time you might need it:

Rabbishrah lee sadree Wayassir lee amree Wahlul uqdatan min lisanee Yafqahoo qawlee
O my Sustainer! Open up my heart and make my task easy for me, and loosen the knot from
my tongue so that they might fully understand my speech.
: Before Studying

Allaahumma akrimnee binooril fahmi wa kharrajanee min zulumaatil wahmi waftah alainaa
abwaaba ilmak. Wan shur alainaa khuzzaanu marifatika yaa arhamar raahimeen.
Allaahumma wafqnee l mutaalati bihablee jamee-i mushkilaatil masaa-ili minal kutubi
birahmatika yaa arhamar raahimeen.
Oh Allah, honor me by the light of understanding and take me out from the darkness of
doubt and open upon us the doors of your knowledge and open upon us the treasure of your
recognition, oh the best of the Merciful ones. Oh Allah, and give me Tawfeeq to study and
solving all the difcult problems through books. By your mercy, oh the best of the merciful
ones.
After Studying:

Allahumma inni astaodeeka ma qaratu wama hafaz-tu. Farudduhu allaya inda hajati elahi.
Innaka ala ma-tasha-u qadeer wa anta hasbeeya wa namal wakeel
Oh Allah! I entrust you with what I have read and I have studied. Oh Allah! Bring it back to
me when I am in need of it. Oh Allah! You do whatever you wish, you are my availer and

protector and the best of aid.

For Maintaining Concentration:

Salla-l-laahu alaa Muhammad wa aal-e Muhammad. Allahumma inni asaluka yaa

mudhakkira-l khayr wa faailahu wa-l-aamimira bihi dhakir-ni maa ansaani-hi-shaytan.
Blessings of Allah be upon Muhammad and his progeny. O Allah, I ask you, the one who
mentions goodness and actualizes it and commands it, remind me of that which the shaytan
makes me forget.
To Remember Forgotten Things:
The following duaa was taught by our Prophet Muhammed (pbuh) to Imam Ali to be recited
after every obligatory Salaat in order to develop a flawless memory. Who doesnt want a
flawless memory? Make it a habit or at least increase recitation of this dua before test day:

Glory be to Him who does not treat the citizens of His Kingdom unjustly and harshly, Glory
be to Him who does not let torment and pain come suddenly upon mankind, Glory be to the
Compassionate, the Merciful. O Allah ll my heart and mind with true enlightenment,
discerning intelligence, quick understanding and knowledge, Verily you are able to do all
things.
When Studying Something Difculty:

Allahumma la sahla illama ja-altahu sahla anta taj alu al hazana eza ma shita sahal
Oh Allah! Nothing is easy except what You have made easy. If You wish, You can make the
difcult easy.
To Suppress Anxiety and Fear:
You may often experience frustration, fear, and anxiety in exams, which may adversely affect
your performance. Recite this dua, reported by Anas (may Allah be pleased with him), that the
Prophet (pbuh) used to say when something upset him.

Allahumma inni aoodhoo bika minal-hammi walhuzni, wal-ajzi wal-kasali wal-bukhli

wal-jubni, wa dalid-dayni wa ghalabatir- rajaal

O Allah! I seek refuge in You from anxiety and sorrow, weakness and laziness, miserliness
and cowardice, the burden of debts and from being oppressed by men.
