Dua increase knowledge refers to the short prayers Muslims make to ask Allah for more beneficial knowledge. It is the same request the Prophet ﷺ was told to make, and it suits students, teachers, and anyone who wants to learn. Many people study hard but forget to ask the One who opens the heart to understanding.

Dua increase knowledge

Dua from the Qur’an (Surah Ta-Ha 20:114)

Arabic: رَبِّ زِدْنِي عِلْمًا

Dua Taught by the Prophet PBUH

This is a longer dua for increase knowledge, also taught by the Prophet ﷺ.

Arabic: اللَّهُمَّ انْفَعْنِي بِمَا عَلَّمْتَنِي وَعَلِّمْنِي مَا يَنْفَعُنِي وَزِدْنِي عِلْمًا

Transliteration: Allahummanfa’ni bima ‘allamtani, wa ‘allimni ma yanfa’uni, wa zidni ‘ilma.

English Translation: O Allah, benefit me with what You have taught me, teach me what will benefit me, and increase me in knowledge.

Urdu Translation: اے اللہ! جو تو نے مجھے سکھایا اس سے مجھے نفع دے، اور مجھے وہ سکھا جو میرے لیے مفید ہو، اور میرے علم میں اضافہ فرما۔
