The Arabic stands at the heart of each card, while transliteration, translation, sources, and scholarly notes sit respectfully around it — readable, dignified, and structured.
The 40 Rabbana
All 40 Rabbana supplications from the Qur'an with Arabic, transliteration, translation, and direct Qur'anic references. Accepted unanimously by Sunni and Shia traditions.
📖 Introduction
A Qur'an-first foundation — division, respect, and purpose
This website has been set up with the chaos of divisions in mind. It references viewpoints as carefully as possible, irrespective of your school or background, and aims to show what is strong, what is weak, what is disputed, and why people may still follow certain narrations. Difference of opinion will always exist, but knowingly going against what Allah subḥānahu wa taʿālā has given to mankind is a far more serious matter.

🔍 Methodology
How authenticity, trust, and Qur'an consistency are shown
Source clarity
Every entry exposes where the wording comes from and how strong the underlying evidence is.
Qur'an consistency
If the wording or claimed use conflicts with Qur'anic principles, the site says so clearly and responsibly.
Strength grading
Each entry is graded using established hadith science: Sahih, Hasan, Da'if, or Disputed. Qur'anic entries are labelled separately.
On the Rabbana collection
The 40 Rabbana are treated as a separate, internally consistent collection because they are Qur'an-only. The grading question does not arise for these entries. Both Sunni and Shia traditions accept all 40 entries as Qur'anic text. Non-Rabbana Qur'anic du'as (e.g. du'a of Yunus, last two ayahs of al-Baqarah) are in the main library with Qur'an strength labelling.
⚠️ On the Qur'an & Hadith
The completeness of the Qur'an · The necessity of Hadith · What rejection means
The Qur'an is Complete — and Hadith is Necessary
This section addresses two serious and related matters: the completeness and preservation of the Qur'an, and the necessity of the Prophetic Hadith for those who claim to follow Islam. Both are matters of scholarship, evidence, and consequence. What follows is structured, referenced, and direct.
Allah subḥānahu wa taʿālā has guaranteed the preservation of the Qur'an. This is not opinion — it is a stated divine promise.
إِنَّا نَحۡنُ نَزَّلۡنَا ٱلذِّكۡرَ وَإِنَّا لَهُۥ لَحَٰفِظُونَ Al-Hijr 15:9"Indeed, it is We who sent down the Reminder and indeed, We will be its guardian." — No surah is missing. No ayah has been lost. The Qur'an that exists today is the Qur'an that was revealed. Anyone who sincerely believes that the Qur'an is incomplete, corrupted, or altered — and maintains this position knowingly and with intent after evidence has been presented — has made a claim that contradicts a direct divine promise. This is not a minor matter.
Those who claim to follow only the Qur'an while rejecting all Hadith face an immediate internal contradiction: the Qur'an itself commands obedience to the Messenger.
يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوٓاْ أَطِيعُواْ ٱللَّهَ وَأَطِيعُواْ ٱلرَّسُولَ وَأُوْلِي ٱلۡأَمۡرِ مِنكُمۡ An-Nisa 4:59"O you who believe, obey Allah and obey the Messenger and those in authority among you." The command to obey the Messenger is separate from the command to obey Allah — meaning obedience to the Prophet ﷺ is a distinct obligation, not merely a restatement. If following the Messenger meant only reading the Qur'an, there would be no separate command.
وَمَآ ءَاتَىٰكُمُ ٱلرَّسُولُ فَخُذُوهُ وَمَا نَهَىٰكُمۡ عَنۡهُ فَٱنتَهُواْ Al-Hashr 59:7"And whatever the Messenger gives you — take it. And whatever he forbids you — refrain from it." This ayah was not revealed about the Qur'an. It was revealed about the distribution of spoils of war — meaning it applies to the Prophet's ﷺ general commands and instructions beyond Qur'anic text.
For those who say "we follow the Qur'an but not Hadith," a critical question must be answered: when the Qur'an says "obey the Messenger," who is it referring to? The Qur'an names the Prophet directly:
مُّحَمَّدٌ رَّسُولُ ٱللَّهِ Al-Fath 48:29"Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah." The Qur'an also refers to him by name in Surah Al-Imran 3:144, Muhammad 47:2, and Al-Ahzab 33:40 — where he is described as "the Seal of the Prophets." To claim to follow the Qur'an while rejecting the recorded words, actions, and rulings of the very person the Qur'an names as the Messenger is a profound internal contradiction.
There is a clear distinction in Islamic scholarship between three positions:
A person who does not know about certain Hadith, or who has genuine uncertainty about specific narrations, is not sinful for that ignorance. Seeking knowledge is obligatory; lack of it, without arrogance, is not kufr.
It is entirely acceptable — and indeed the foundation of hadith science — to examine, question, and grade individual narrations. Scholars have done so for over a thousand years. Weak hadith are not binding. Choosing not to act on a da'if narration is not rejection of the Prophet ﷺ.
To knowingly and deliberately reject all Prophetic Hadith as a category — after having been presented with Qur'anic evidence that the Messenger must be obeyed — is to reject the Prophet ﷺ himself. The consensus of classical scholars across Sunni and Shia traditions is that this constitutes kufr, not a legitimate school of thought within Islam. It is not shirk to accept Hadith. Hadith is not worship of the Prophet. Hadith is the recorded transmission of obedience to the Qur'anic command.
If you reject all Hadith and claim to follow only the Qur'an, consider these ten questions. The Qur'an mentions each topic — but without Hadith, you cannot perform or observe any of them correctly:
The Qur'an commands Salah dozens of times but gives no instruction on how to pray — no rak'ahs, no positions, no words to recite. Every Muslim who prays follows the method transmitted through Hadith from the Prophet ﷺ who said: "Pray as you have seen me pray." (Sahih al-Bukhari 631)
Neither Eid is mentioned by name in the Qur'an. Both festivals were established and practiced by the Prophet ﷺ and transmitted through Sunnah. If you reject Hadith, you have no Islamic basis for celebrating either Eid.
The Qur'an confirms Laylatul Qadr exists (97:1–5) but does not specify its date. The guidance to seek it in the last ten nights of Ramadan, particularly the odd nights, comes from Hadith. (Sahih al-Bukhari 2017)
The Qur'an (2:183–185) commands fasting in Ramadan but does not specify 29 or 30 days, or how to determine the start and end of the month. These rulings come through Hadith and scholarly consensus built upon it.
The Qur'an commands Zakat repeatedly but gives no nisab thresholds, no percentages, and no categories of eligible recipients with full specification. The detailed framework comes entirely from Hadith and fiqh built upon it.
The Qur'an commands pilgrimage (3:97) but gives no detailed instructions for tawaf, sa'i, the standing at Arafah, the throwing of stones, or the order of rites. The Prophet ﷺ said: "Take from me your Hajj rites." (Sahih Muslim 1297)
Beyond the clear Qur'anic prohibitions, the specifics of halal slaughter, the prohibition of intoxicants in detail, and numerous food-related rulings are established through Hadith. The Qur'an gives principles; Hadith gives the applied rulings.
The word رُوح (rūh) appears in the Qur'an in at least 13 distinct contexts — referring to the angel Jibreel, the human soul, the spirit of Allah's command, and more. Without the prophetic tradition and classical Arabic scholarship rooted in Hadith-era understanding, no translator can claim certainty. A translation of the Qur'an is not the Qur'an. It is an interpretation of meaning.
The Qur'an does not detail the prayer over the deceased (Salat al-Janazah), the washing of the body, the shrouding, or the method of burial. All of this is transmitted through Hadith and Sunnah exclusively.
The Qur'an instructs believers to respond to the call to prayer (62:9) and to establish Salah, but the words of the adhan itself — the most recognisable sound in Islam — are not in the Qur'an. They were established by the Prophet ﷺ through revelation conveyed in Hadith.
The Qur'an is the foundation and criterion (al-furqan). It is complete, preserved, and primary. This is not in dispute. But the Qur'an itself commands us to follow the Messenger ﷺ — and the Messenger's guidance was recorded as Hadith. The two are not in opposition. To follow one while sincerely rejecting the other is not Qur'an-only Islam. It is a position that severs itself from the method by which Islam has always been transmitted and practiced. Seek knowledge. Question weak narrations. Follow the strongest evidence. But do not mistake the rejection of all Hadith for purity of faith. It is, in reality, the rejection of the very obedience the Qur'an demands.
