Dua for Jannah – Authentic Quranic Supplications for Paradise

Paradise (Jannah) is the ultimate goal of every believer. The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ encouraged us not only to ask for Jannah but to specifically ask for 'Al-Firdaws al-A'la'—the highest level. This Quranic dua is considered the most comprehensive, as it asks for success in both lives and protection from the Fire.

رَبَّنَا آتِنَا فِي الدُّنْيَا حَسَنَةً وَفِي الْآخِرَةِ حَسَنَةً وَقِنَا عَذَابَ النَّارِ

Transliteration

Rabbana atina fid-dunya hasanatan wa fil-akhirati hasanatan wa qina ‘adhaban-nar.

Translation

Our Lord, give us good in this world and good in the Hereafter, and protect us from the punishment of the Fire.
