Dua for Exams & Studying

رَبِّ اشْرَحْ لِي صَدْرِي وَيَسِّرْ لِي أَمْرِي وَاحْلُلْ عُقْدَةً مِّن لِّسَانِي يَفْقَهُوا قَوْلِي

“O my Sustainer! Open up my heart and make my task easy for me, and loosen the knot from my tongue so that they might fully understand my speech.” [Qur’an 20:25-28]

These were the words of prayer Musa (alayhis Salam) uttered when he was going to see Pharoah to deliver his message. He was nervous and distressed because of his speech impediment, and he beseeched Allah Almighty with these words in order to seek help from Him for his task.

Pray this du’a as often as you want, before sitting to study, or taking any exams. Study hard, pray your Salaah on time, make Dua after each prayer and place your trust in Allah.
