Duas for success in exams and seeking knowledge
My Lord, expand for me my breast, and make my task easy, and make loose from my tongue that they may understand my speech.
O Allah, I am Your servant, son of Your servant, son of Your female servant. My forelock is in Your hand. Your command over me is forever executed. Your decision concerning me is just. I ask You by every name that You have called Yourself, or taught to any one of Your creation, or revealed in Your Book, or kept hidden in the knowledge of the unseen with You, that You make the Qur'an the delight of my heart, and the light of my chest, the banisher of my sadness, and the reliever of my anxiety.
None has the right to be worshipped but You; glory to You! Indeed, I have been among the wrongdoers.
O Allah, I ask You for knowledge that is beneficial, and sustenance that is pure, and deeds that are accepted.
O Allah, there is no ease except what You make easy. If You will, You can make hardship easy.
O Allah, suffice me with Your lawful provision instead of Your unlawful provision, and enrich me with Your grace, so that I do not need anyone but You.
O Allah, suffice me with Your lawful provision instead of Your unlawful provision, and enrich me with Your bounty so that I may not need anyone other than You. Teach me what benefits me, and increase me in knowledge.
O Allah, suffice me with what You have made lawful, instead of what You have made unlawful, and enrich me with Your bounty, so that I may not need anyone other than You.
My Lord, expand for me my breast [with security]; And make easy for me my task; And untie the knot from my tongue; So they may understand my speech.
O Allah, I seek refuge in You from worry and grief. I seek refuge in You from helplessness and laziness. I seek refuge in You from cowardice and stinginess. I seek refuge in You from the burden of debt and the overpowering of men.
O Allah, I ask You for beneficial knowledge, pure provision, and accepted deeds.
O Allah, there is no ease except that which You make easy. If You wish, You can make difficulty easy.
