DUAAS FOR STUDYING & EXAMS (deeni and dunyawi)

[Idrees]

Assalamu alaykum
Last year when i was doing my GCSE's , i emailed various scholars for duas for studying and exams and Alhamdulillah they sent me many duas.
I have a A Level Exam Tomorrow and i was just looking through the duas and i thought maybe i should share it as i know many people are looking for stuff like this when there exams come up etc.

DUAAS FOR STUDYING & EXAMS

Dua before studying:

اللهم انفعني بما علمتني وعلمني ما ينفعني اللهم اني أسألك فهم النبيين وحفظ المرسلين المقربين اللهم اجعل لساني عاما بذكرك وقلبي بخشيتك انك على ما تشاء قدير وأنت حسبنا الله ونعم الوكيل

"Allahumma infa'nii bimaa 'allamtanii wa'allimnii maa yanfa'uunii. Allahumma inii as'aluka fahmal-nabiyyen wa hifzal mursaleen al-muqarrabeen. Allahumma ijal leesanee 'aiman bi dhikrika wa qalbi bi khashyatika. Innaka 'ala ma-tasha'u qadeer wa anta hasbun-allahu wa na'mal wakeel."

"Oh Allah! Make useful for me what you have taught me and teach me knowledge that will be useful to me. Oh Allah! I ask you for the understanding of the prophets and the memory of the messengers, and those nearest to you. Oh Allah! Make my tongue full of your remembrance and my heart with consciousness of you. Oh Allah! You do whatever you wish, and you are my availer and protector and best of aid."

Dua after studying:

اللهم اني أستو دعك ما قرأت وما حفظت فرده علي عند حاجتي إليه انك على ما تشاء قدير وأنت حسبنا الله ونعم الوكيل

"Allahumma inni astaodeeka ma qara'tu wama hafaz-tu. Farudduhu 'allaya inda hajati elahi. Innaka 'ala ma-tasha'-u qadeer wa anta hasbeeya wa na'mal wakeel"

"Oh Allah! I entrust you with what I have read and I have studied. Oh Allah! Bring it back to me when I am in need of it. Oh Allah! You do whatever you wish, you are my availer and protector and the best of aid."

Dua while studying something difficult:

اللهم لا سهل إلا ما جعلته سهلا أنت تجعل الحزن إذا ما شئت سهلا

"Allahumma la sahla illama ja-'altahu sahla anta taj 'alu al hazana eza ma shi'ta sahal."

"Oh Allah! Nothing is easy except what you have made easy. If you wish, you can make the difficult easy."


Dua for concentration:

صلى الله على محمد وال محمد اللهم اني أسألك يا مدخر الخير وفاعله والآمر به ذكرني ما انسانيه الشيطان

"Salla-l-laahu alaa Muhammad wa aal-e Muhammad. Allahumma inni as'aluka yaa mudhakkira-l khayr wa faa'ilahu wa-l-aamimira bihi dhakir-ni maa ansaani-hi-shaytan."

"Blessings of Allah be upon Muhammad and his progeny. O Allah, I ask you, the one who mentions goodness and actualizes it and commands it, remind me of that which the shaytan makes me forget."

and Allah Ta'ala Knows Best

RESPECTED BROTHER IDREES AMIN

Assalaamu-'alaikum Wa Rahmatullahi Wa Barakaatuh
We acknowledge the receipt of your query and our response is as follows: -
Firstly, we should remember that this examination is only a worldly one and if per chance (Allah Ta’aala save us) a person fails then he still has another chance. But the examination of the grave and Aakhirah is cuh that if a person fails (Allah Ta’aala save us) then there is no second chance. Hence a person should also ponder the final examination (the exams of life after death) when writing this examination. He must not get so involved in his worldly examination that it leads to violation the commands of Allah Ta’aala; for example that he starts missing his Salaah with Jama’ah, or begins to intermingle with members of the opposite sex during exam preparation, etc.

Now for success in the examination, a person should read 150 times ( يا عليم ) after the Fajr Salaah daily. And on the day of the examination this should be read in abundance. {Amaleyaat-wa-Taeweezaat (Pg 237)}

When the question paper is given then you should not read it immediately, but turn it over and then do the following before reading the paper:-
(1) Firstly recite three times durood shareef. (any durood shareef)

(2) Then read 11 timesإِ

سُبْحَانَكَ لاَ عِلْمَ لَنَا إِلاَّ مَا عَلَّمْتَنَا
إِنَّكَ أَنتَ الْعَلِيمُ الْحَكِيمُ

Translation: "Glory be to you, we have no knowledge except what you have taught us. Verily, it is You, the All-Knower, the All-Wise."

(3) Then read 11 times يا فتاح

(4) Then read 7 times

وَاللّهُ الْمُسْتَعَانُ عَلَى مَا
تَصِفُونَ

Translation: And it is Allah (Alone) whose help can be sought against that which you assert.

(5) Then read 3 times durood shareef (again)
Thereafter turn the question paper on its correct side and read it carefully, then begin answering the questions. Insha-Allah the answering will become easy.
Remember that a person should at all times seek well being from Allah Ta’aala in all matters. He should read the following Dua:

اللهم اني اسالك العفو والعافية (ترغيب ج4 ص272 )

Translation: Oh Allah Ta’aala I truly seek your forgiveness and well being (meaning in examination, memory, and concentration etc).
May Allah Ta’aala make all our matters easy with safety Aameen.
AND ALLAH TA'AALA KNOWS BEST.
