📖 What Are Rabbana Duas?

"Rabbana" (رَبَّنَا) means "Our Lord" in Arabic. These are special supplications found throughout the Quran where prophets, righteous believers, and angels called upon Allah using this beautiful address.

Why they're perfect for pregnancy: These are not ordinary duas - they are Allah's own words preserved in the Quran. When you recite them, you're using the same exact words that prophets like Ibrahim, Zakariya, Maryam's mother, and Muhammad ﷺ used to call upon Allah. There's no more authentic, powerful, or blessed dua than the words Allah Himself taught us in the Quran.
