Revision Duas for University Students

Dua Before Studying

Allahumma infa'nii bimaa
'allamtanii wa'allimnii
maa yanfa' unii.

O Allah! Make useful for me what You
taught me and teach me knowledge
that will be useful to me.

Dua While Studying Something Difficult

Allahumma la sahla illama
ja-'altahu sahla wa anta taj
'alu al hazana etha shi'ta
sahla.


O Allah! Nothing is easy except what
You have made easy. If You wish, You
can make the difficult easy.


Final piece of advice: Remember as Young Muslims at University, every second must help us get closer to Jannah. So we can maximise our good deeds. Turn your revision into a beautiful worship purely to please Allah.
