Our Lord, pour upon us patience and make firm our feet and give us victory over the disbelieving people.

Rabbana afrigh 'alayna sabraw-wa-thabbit aqdamana wansurna 'alal-qawmil-kafirin

When to Read

This profound dua is for all times, but especially relevant when the Ummah faces collective hardships, moral decay, or external pressures that test our faith and resolve. It's a plea for spiritual fortitude and divine support when facing challenges that seem overwhelming, reminding us that ultimate victory belongs to those who remain steadfast.

How to Read

Recite this dua with a sincere heart, focusing on the meaning and the immense need for Allah's help. Raise your hands as you do, embodying the supplication of the believers described in the verse. Understand that patience ('sabr') in Islam is not passive resignation, but an active, steadfast adherence to Allah's commands and endurance of His decree, seeking His help throughout.

Virtues & Benefits

This dua encapsulates a comprehensive request for the Ummah's success in trials. It asks for 'sabr' (patience), which is a cornerstone of faith, enabling believers to withstand adversity without faltering. It seeks firmness in faith and action ('thabbit aqdamana'), ensuring we don't waver in our commitment to truth. Finally, it requests victory ('nasr') against those who oppose righteousness, a reminder that ultimate triumph is from Allah alone. The story of Talut and Jalut (Saul and Goliath) in Surah Al-Baqarah, where this dua is mentioned, highlights how this supplication is linked to overcoming seemingly impossible odds through faith and perseverance.
