Transliteration

Yad'u li-nafsihi baynal-adhani wal-iqamati, fa innal-du'aa'a hina'idhin la yuraddu.

Translation

Supplicate for yourself between the Adhan and the Iqamah, for the supplication at that time is not rejected.

Context

The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ taught that the time between the Adhan (call to prayer) and the Iqamah (second call to prayer) is a special window for answered prayers. He encouraged Muslims to use this period to ask Allah for whatever they need.

Benefit

This dua is a powerful reminder to seize the blessed moments before prayer to turn to Allah. It assures us that our earnest requests during this time are heard and answered.

When to Recite

Between the Adhan and the Iqamah, before the start of the congregational prayer.

اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِعِزَّتِكَ الَّتِي لاَ تَرْتَدُّ، أَنْ تُضِلَّنِي، أَنْتَ الْأَرْضُ وَالسَّمَوَاتُ وَمَنْ فِيهِنَّ، أَسْأَلُكَ بِكُلِّ اسْمٍ هُوَ لَكَ سَمَّيْتَ بِهِ نَفْسَكَ، أَوْ أَنْزَلْتَهُ فِي كِتَابِكَ، أَوْ عَلَّمْتَهُ أَحَدًا مِنْ خَلْقِكَ، أَوْ اسْتَأْثَرْتَ بِهِ فِي عِلْمِ الْغَيْبِ عِنْدَكَ، أَنْ تَجْعَلَ الْقُرْآنَ رَبِيعَ قَلْبِي، وَنُورَ صَدْرِي، وَجِلَاءَ حُزْنِي، وَذَهَابَ هَمِّي.

O Allah, I seek refuge in Your might, which never wanes, that You lead me astray. You are the Lord of the heavens and the earth and all that is within them. I ask You by every name that You have called Yourself, or revealed in Your Book, or taught to any of Your creation, or kept to Yourself in the knowledge of the unseen which You possess, that You make the Quran the springtime of my heart, the light of my chest, the banisher of my sadness, and the reliever of my worries.
