Prophet Ibrahim (AS) is known for his unbreakable trust in Allah. His life was filled with trials, yet every challenge brought him closer to Allah. One of the most beautiful things we learn from him is how he made duas in such situations.
The Qur’an preserves many of his supplications. They show how to seek forgiveness, how to ask for protection, how to pray for our families, and how to rely on Allah when life becomes difficult.
In this blog, we’ll explore the most powerful duas of Prophet Ibrahim (AS), understand the context behind them, and reflect on how they remain relevant for us today.
One of the most heartfelt duas of Prophet Ibrahim (AS) is when he asked Allah to forgive him, his parents, and all believers. This teaches us something important that Dua should extend beyond personal needs to the wider community or Ummah of believers.
رَبَّنَا اغْفِرْ لِي وَلِوَالِدَيَّ وَلِلْمُؤْمِنِينَ يَوْمَ يَقُومُ الْحِسَابُ
Rabbanagh fir lee wa liwaalidaiya wa lilmu'mineena Yawma yaqoomul hisaab
“Our Lord, forgive me and my parents and the believers on the Day the account is established.”
(Surah Ibrahim, Verse 41)

When Prophet Ibrahim (AS) left his family in the barren valley of Makkah, there was nothing there: no water, no trees, no people. Out of deep concern for them, he made a dua that Allah has answered in the most visible way.
A powerful dua that Allah answered, as today Makkah has peace, stability and prosperity, especially when compared to its barren days during the times of Prophet Ibrahim (AS).
رَبِّ اجْعَلْ هَٰذَا بَلَدًا آمِنًا وَارْزُقْ أَهْلَهُ مِنَ الثَّمَرَاتِ مَنْ آمَنَ مِنْهُمْ بِاللَّهِ وَالْيَوْمِ الْآخِرِ
Rabbij 'al haadhaa baladan aaminanw warzuq ahlahoo minath thamaraati man aamana minhum billaahi wal yawmil aakhiri
“My Lord, make this a secure city and provide its people with fruits – whoever of them believes in Allah and the Last Day.”
(Surah Baqarah, Verse 126)
When Ibrahim (AS) returned to Makkah and saw how it had grown, he worried not about physical danger, but spiritual danger. He feared that prosperity might make people forget Allah. He made Dua for protection from idol worship for himself and his children.
رَبِّ اجْعَلْ هَٰذَا الْبَلَدَ آمِنًا وَاجْنُبْنِي وَبَنِيَّ أَنْ نَعْبُدَ الْأَصْنَامَ
Rabbij ‘al haazal balada aaminanw wajnubnee wa baniyya an na’budal asnam
“My Lord, make this city [Makkah] secure and keep me and my sons away from worshipping idols.”
(Surah Ibrahim, Verse 35)

Prophet Ibrahim (AS) thought about his future and the generations that would come after him. He wanted wisdom, good company, and a legacy that would continue even after his death.
This dua is a road map for anyone who wants to live a meaningful life: seek knowledge, keep righteous company, and aim to leave behind goodness.
رَبِّ هَبْ لِي حُكْمًا وَأَلْحِقْنِى بِٱلصَّـٰلِحِينَ وَاجْعَل لِّي لِسَانَ صِدْقٍ فِي الْآخِرِين وَاجْعَلْنِي مِن وَرَثَةِ جَنَّةِ النَّعِيمِ
Rabbi hab lee hukman wa-alhiqnee bis–saaliheen. Waj’al lee lisaana sidqin fil-aakhireen.Waj’alnee min warathati jannatin-na’eem
“My Lord! Grant me wisdom and join me with the righteous. And grant me an honourable mention among the later generations. And make me one of the inheritors of the Garden of Delight.”
(Surah Ash-Shu’ara, Verse 83–85)
In this heartfelt prayer, Prophet Ibrahim (AS) asked Allah for three profound blessings: to remain steadfast in establishing salah, that his offspring also uphold salah, and that his duas be accepted.
This teaches us the importance of safeguarding our connection with Allah through prayer, making dua not only for ourselves but also for our children, even before they are born, and recognising that dua itself is an act of worship.
رَبِّ ٱجۡعَلۡنِي مُقِيمَ ٱلصَّلَوٰةِ وَمِن ذُرِّيَّتِيۚ رَبَّنَا وَتَقَبَّلۡ دُعَآءِ
Rabbi Aj`alnī Muqīma ş-Şalāati Wa Min Dhurrīyatī Rabbanā Wa Taqabbal Du`ā'i
“My Lord! Make me an establisher (of) the prayer and from my offsprings. Our Lord! and accept my prayer”
(Surah Ibrahim, Verse 40)
Note: Even if you don’t yet have children, you can still make this dua for your future descendants.
Prophet Ibrahim (AS) made this dua when he had no children and was advanced in age. Despite the odds, he turned to Allah with hope and faith and asked for a child who would be righteous and devoted to Allah.
Allah answered by blessing him with Isma’il (AS), who would continue the legacy of tawheed.
رَبِّ هَبْ لِي مِنَ ٱلصَّـٰلِحِينَ
Rabbi hab lee minaṣ-ṣāliḥīn
“My Lord, grant me [a child] from among the righteous.”
(Surah As-Saffat, Verse 100)
Prophet Ibrahim (AS) said this dua when his people threw him into the fire. Even in that moment of danger, he relied completely on Allah’s power and protection. This dua shows true tawakkul, trusting Allah fully when facing hardship.
The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) also taught this dua to his companions, so they could find comfort and strength during times of fear.
حَسْبُنَا ٱللَّهُ وَنِعْمَ ٱلْوَكِيلُ
Hasbunallāhu wa ni‘ma al-wakīl
“Sufficient for us is Allah, and [He is] the best Disposer of affairs.”
(Surah Al-Imran, Verse 173)
This verse shows how Prophet Ibrahim (AS) and his followers stayed firm in their faith even while living among people who worshipped idols. They separated themselves from false worship and turned to Allah with a sincere dua.
In it, they expressed three things: full trust in Allah, honest repentance, and the reminder that everyone will return to Him. Their words reflect true submission and teach us that real faith is built on trust, responsibility, and hope in Allah, especially when life becomes difficult.
رَّبَّنَا عَلَیْكَ تَوَكَّلْنَا وَإِلَیْكَ أَنَبْنَا وَإِلَیْكَ الْمَصِیرُ
Rabbanaa ‘alaika tawakkalnaa wa ilaika anabnaa wa ilaikal maseer
“Our Lord, upon You we have relied, and to You we have returned, and to You is the destination.”
(Surah Mumtahanah, Verse 4)
This verse continues the duas of Prophet Ibrahim (AS) and his companions as they distanced themselves from a society of disbelievers. Their actions were not driven by hatred, but by obedience to Allah and a desire to protect their faith in a challenging and hostile environment.
رَبَّنَا لَا تَجْعَلْنَا فِتْنَةً لِّلَّذِینَ كَفَرُوا وَاغْفِرْ لَنَا رَبَّنَآ إِنَّكَ أَنتَ الْعَزِیزُ الْحَكِیمُ
Rabbanā Lā Taj`alnā Fitnatan Lilladhīna Kafarū Wa Aghfir Lanā Rabbanā 'Innaka 'Anta l-Azīzu l-Ĥakīm
“Our Lord, make us not [objects of] torment for the disbelievers and forgive us, our Lord. Indeed, it is You who is the Exalted in Might, the Wise.”
(Surah Mumtahanah, Verse 5)
This dua was made by Prophet Ibrahim (AS) and his son Prophet Ismail (AS) while raising the Kabah’s foundations by Allah’s command. Even in this moment of immense spiritual significance, they remained humble and prayerful.
رَبَّنَا تَقَبَّلْ مِنَّآ إِنَّكَ أَنْتَ السَّمِیعُ العَلِیمُ
Rabbana taqabbal minnaa innaka Antas Samee’ul ’Aleem
“Our Lord, accept [this] from us. Indeed, You are the Hearing, the Knowing.”
(Surah Baqarah, Verse 127)
This dua was made right after Prophet Ibrahim (AS) and Prophet Ismail (AS) started building the Ka‘bah. While carrying out this important task, they prayed to Allah not only for His acceptance but also for ongoing guidance and a lasting spiritual legacy.
رَبَّنَا وَاجْعَلْنَا مُسْلِمَیْنِ لَكَ وَمِن ذُرِّیَّتِنَآ أُمَّةً مُّسْلِمَةً لَّكَ وَأَرِنَا مَنَاسِكَنَا وَتُبْ عَلَیْنَآ إِنَّكَ أَنتَ التَّوَّابُ الرَّحِیمُ
Rabbana waj’alnaa muslimaini laka wa min zurriyyatinaaa ummatam muslimatal laka wa arinaa manaasikanaa wa tub ‘alainaa innaka antat Tawwaabur Raheem
“Our Lord, and make us Muslims [in submission] to You and from our descendants a Muslim nation [in submission] to You. And show us our rites [of worship] and accept our repentance. Indeed, You are the Accepting of Repentance, the Merciful.”
(Surah Baqarah, Verse 128)
The duas of Prophet Ibrahim (AS) cover every part of life: forgiveness, family, safety, provision, wisdom, trust, and legacy. They teach us how to speak to Allah from the heart. They show us that no moment is too small and no problem is too big to be raised in dua.
Memorising these beautiful and beneficial duas strengthens our belief and also makes us more connected with Allah. Along with that, these duas highly enhance our quality of daily worship and the understanding of Deen. For UK-based Muslims, where busy schedules can sometimes be a hurdle in consistent learning, choosing to learn the Quran online and memorise more duas is the best option.
Platforms such as Learn Al Quran Academy offer structured and guided support to help children and adults build a strong foundation in both Quran recitation and learning of essential duas.
If there is anything we learn from his life, it is this: When you turn to Allah sincerely, He will never leave you alone.
