O Allah, grant us the understanding of the Prophets, the memorization of the Messengers, and the inspiration of the devoted angels. O Allah, make our tongues eloquent in Your remembrance, our hearts filled with Your awe, and our innermost selves devoted to Your obedience. Indeed, You have power over all things.

Allahumma arzuqna fahm an-nabiyyin, wa hifdh al-mursalin, wa ilham al-mala'ikat al-muqarrabin. Allahumma ij'al alsinatana 'amiratan bi dhikrik, wa qulubana bi khashyatik, wa asrarana bi ta'atik, innaka 'ala kulli shay'in qadir.

When to Read

Recite this dua before commencing any scholarly discussion, lesson, or study session, especially when delving into the intricacies of Islamic jurisprudence (Fiqh). It is particularly suitable when gathering with other students or scholars to ensure the discourse is guided by divine wisdom and clarity.

How to Read

Begin by facing the Qiblah, if possible. Raise your hands to the level of your shoulders or chest, as is the practice for supplication. Recite the dua with sincere intention and focus, seeking Allah's assistance in understanding, retaining, and applying the knowledge discussed. It can be recited individually or by the group leader before the session begins.

Virtues & Benefits

This dua encapsulates a comprehensive request for the essential tools of scholarly pursuit: understanding (comprehension akin to Prophets), retention (memory like Messengers), and divine insight (guidance from angels). It also asks for eloquence in remembering Allah, reverence in the heart, and devotion in actions. Seeking Allah's help in this manner ensures the discourse is fruitful, beneficial, and pleasing to Him.
