Hi!

بِسْمِ اللَّهِ

Start every study session and every exam with Bismillah.

رَبِّ اشْرَحْ لِي صَدْرِي · وَيَسِّرْ لِي أَمْرِي · وَاحْلُلْ عُقْدَةً مِّن لِّسَانِي · يَفْقَهُوا قَوْلِي

“My Lord, open my chest for me, make my task easy for me, and untie the knot from my tongue so they understand my speech.”

Qur’an, Ṭā-Hā 20:25–28 · before studying or an oral exam

رَّبِّ زِدْنِي عِلْمًا

“My Lord, increase me in knowledge.”

Qur’an, Ṭā-Hā 20:114

اللَّهُمَّ انْفَعْنِي بِمَا عَلَّمْتَنِي، وَعَلِّمْنِي مَا يَنْفَعُنِي، وَزِدْنِي عِلْمًا

“O Allah, benefit me with what You taught me, teach me what will benefit me, and increase me in knowledge.”

Sunan Ibn Mājah · after studying

اللَّهُمَّ لَا سَهْلَ إِلَّا مَا جَعَلْتَهُ سَهْلًا، وَأَنْتَ تَجْعَلُ الْحَزْنَ إِذَا شِئْتَ سَهْلًا

“O Allah, nothing is easy except what You make easy, and You make the difficult easy if You wish.”

Ṣaḥīḥ Ibn Ḥibbān · when a question feels hard

حَسْبُنَا اللَّهُ وَنِعْمَ الْوَكِيلُ

“Allah is enough for us, and He is the best disposer of affairs.”

Qur’an, Āl ʿImrān 3:173 · when you feel nervous
