Dear friends,

I will share some prayers from the Qur'an in this thread. I hope you will enjoy them.
At first, I will write some verses about the importance of prayer, after them there will be some prayer examples.

The importance of prayer

“(Muhammad), if any of My servants ask you about Me, tell them that the Lord says, “I am near; I accept the prayers of those who pray” Let My servants answer My call and believe in Me so that perhaps they may know the right direction” (2:186)

“Pray to Me for I shall answer you prayers” (40:60)

“Pray to your Lord humbly and privately. God does not love the transgressors. Do not destroy the land after it has been well established but pray to God, have fear of Him, and hope to receive His mercy. God's mercy is close to the righteous people” (7:55-56)

“Say: My Lord would not care for you were it not for your prayer” (25:77)

“Remember your Lord deep within yourselves, humbly and privately - instead of shouting out loud - (in prayer) in the mornings and evenings and do not be of the heedless ones” (7:205)

“They were people who would compete with each other in good deeds and pray to Us with love and reverence. With Us they were all humble people” (21:90)

“It is all the same whether you call Him God or the Beneficent. All the good names belong to Him, do not be too loud or slow in your prayer. Choose a moderate way of praying” (17:110)

“It is He who accepts the repentance of His servants, forgives their evil deeds and knows all about what you do. He answers the prayers of the righteously striving believers and grants them increasing favors” (42:25-26)

“People, worship your Lord who created you and those who lived before you, so that you may become pious” (2:21)

The prayer of Jesus (Pbuh)

“Lord, send us a table full of food from heaven so that it will make a feast for us and for those who are yet to come in this world and an evidence from You. Give us sustenance, for You are the best Provider” (5:114)

“If Thou dost punish them, they are Thy servants: if Thou dost forgive them, Thou are the Exalted in power, the Wise” (5:118)

The prayer of the disclipes (Pbut)

“Lord, we have believed in what You have revealed to Your Messenger and we have followed him. Write down our names with those who testify in support of the Truth” (3:53)

For all the prayers "Amen"

The prayer of Abraham (Pbuh)


“Lord, grant me authority. Join me to the righteous ones. Make my words come true in the future. Make me inherit the bountiful Paradise. Forgive my father, he has gone astray. Do not betray me on the Day of Judgment when neither wealth nor children will be of any benefit except what is done in obedience to God with a submissive heart” (26:83-89)

“Lord, make me and my offspring steadfast in prayer and accept our worship. Lord, on the Day of Judgment, forgive me and my parents and all the believers” (14:40-41)

The prayer of Abraham (Pbuh)


“My people, I disavow whatever you consider equal to God. I have up-rightly submitted myself to the One who has created the heavens and the earth and I am not an idol worshipper” (6:78-79)

“Lord, grant me a righteous son” (37:100)


“Our Lord! accept (this service) from us: for Thou art the All-Hearing, the All-Knowing. Our Lord! And make us submissive unto Thee and of our seed a nation submissive unto Thee, and show us our ways of worship, and relent toward us. Thou, only Thou, art the Relenting, the Merciful. Lord, send to them (our descendants) a Messenger of their own who will recite to them Your revelations, teach them the Book, give them wisdom, and purify them. You alone are the Majestic and the Most Wise” (2:127-129)

“Lord, had You wanted to destroy them, why did You not destroy them and me before. Are You destroying us for what the fools among us have done? This (destruction) is only a trial through which You cause some to go astray and guide others. You are our Guardian. Forgive us and have mercy on us; You are the best of those who forgive. Grant us well-being in this life and in the life hereafter for we have turned ourselves to You” (7:155-156)
