What Are the Rabbana Duas?

The Rabbana duas are invocations starting with the word "Rabbana" (our Lord), directly addressing Allah and asking for His mercy, guidance, and assistance. They are powerful supplications that help believers connect with Allah and seek His aid in all aspects of life—be it forgiveness, success, or protection from harm. These supplications serve as spiritual tools to strengthen our faith and remind us of our dependence on Allah.
