Many of us make dua’ to Allah to ask for His favors, to get His attention, to seek forgiveness for our sins, or simply to get out of trouble when we get into a pickle.

 Sometimes our dua’ to Allah brings immediate results and sometimes it doesn’t. For those of us who fully comprehend the dynamics behind dua’, the process can be straightforward and less stressful, but for others who don’t understand it as such, the lack of results, as we perceive them to be, sometimes can cast doubt on our faith.

However, the Quran and hadeeth mention some of the supplicatoins that can help in increasing our rizq (provision) here are some of them:

اللَّهُمَّ إَنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ مِنْ فَضْلِكَ

“O Allah, I ask for Your favor.”

اللَّهُ لَطِيفٌ بِعِبَادِهِ يَرْزُقُ مَن يَشَاءُ ۖ وَهُوَ الْقَوِيُّ الْعَزِيزُ

“Allah is Subtle with His servants; He gives provisions to whom He wills. And He is the Powerful, the Exalted in Might.”

اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ عِلْماً نَافِعاً، وَرِزْقاً طَيِّباً، وَعَمَلاً مُتَقَبَّلاً

“O Allah, I ask You for knowledge that is of benefit, a good provision, and deeds that will be accepted.”

اللَّهُمَّ اغْفِرْ لِي، وَارْحَمْنِي، وَاهْدِنِي، وَاجْبُرْنِي، وَعَافِنِي، وَارْزُقْنِي، وَارْفَعْنِي

“O Allah, forgive me, have mercy on me, guide me, support me, protect me, provide for me and elevate me.”

رَبَّنَا أَنزِلْ عَلَيْنَا مَآئِدَةً مِّنَ السَّمَاء تَكُونُ لَنَا عِيداً لِّأَوَّلِنَا وَآخِرِنَا وَآيَةً مِّنكَ وَارْزُقْنَا وَأَنتَ خَيْرُ الرَّازِقِينَ

“O Allah, our Lord, send down to us a table [spread with food] from heaven to be for us a festival for the first of us and the last of us and a sign from You. And provide for us, and You are the best of providers.”
