Exams can be a source of stress and anxiety, but turning to Allah through supplication brings calmness and strength. Here are three powerful duas to recite for focus, ease, and success during exams:
Dua of Prophet Yunus (AS):
“La ilaha illa anta subhanaka inni kuntu mina ath-thalimeen”
(There is no deity except You; exalted are You. Indeed, I have been of the wrongdoers.)
This dua, recited by Prophet Yunus while in the belly of the whale, reminds us to seek Allah’s mercy and guidance in times of distress. Repeating this frequently helps in finding inner peace.
Dua for Ease:
“Allahumma la sahla illa ma ja’altahu sahla, wa anta taj’alu al-hazna idha shi’ta sahla.”
(O Allah, there is no ease except what You make easy, and You make the difficult easy if You will.)
This powerful prayer asks Allah to simplify challenges and bring ease to any difficult situation, including exams.
Dua for Guidance and Success:
“Wa qul Rabbi adkhilni mudkhala sidqin wa akhrijni mukhraja sidqin waj’al li min ladunka sultanan naseera.”
(And say: My Lord, cause me to enter a sound entrance and to exit a sound exit and grant me from Yourself a supporting authority.)
This dua seeks Allah’s support for righteous outcomes and success in all endeavors.
These prayers can be recited anytime during your study sessions, before entering the exam hall, or whenever you feel the need for Allah’s help.
