Dua for Crops: Seeking Blessings and Protection for Agriculture

In the Quran, Allah reminds us that while we may sow the seed, it is He who causes it to grow. For farmers, gardeners, and those dependent on agriculture, making dua for crops is an act of recognizing Allah as 'Al-Khaliq' (The Creator) and 'Ar-Razzaq' (The Provider). The Prophet ﷺ taught us to ask for blessing (Barakah) in the fruits of the land.

اللَّهُمَّ بَارِكْ لَنَا فِي ثَمَرِنَا، وَبَارِكْ لَنَا فِي مَدِينَتِنَا، وَبَارِكْ لَنَا فِي صَاعِنَا، وَبَارِكْ لَنَا فِي مُدِّنَا

Transliteration

Allahumma barik lana fi thamarina, wa barik lana fi madinatina, wa barik lana fi sa'ina, wa barik lana fi muddina.

Translation

O Allah! Bless us in our fruits, and bless us in our city, and bless us in our measurements (Sa' and Mudd).
