5 Duas to Recite on Your Prayer Mat Every Day
Why make duas on your prayer mat?
The prayer mat is more than just a place to stand. It’s where we bow our heads, humble our hearts, and pour out our hopes to Allah. While Salah itself is complete in its form, the moments before and after prayer are also precious opportunities to make dua.
Having a comfortable prayer mat beneath you, especially a luxury padded prayer mat, helps you stay longer in those moments of reflection without discomfort. It becomes not just a mat, but a companion for your worship and your duas.
Here are five duas you can recite every day on your prayer mat.
1. Dua for guidance and sincerity
"Rabbana taqabbal minna innaka antas-sami’ul-‘aleem"
(Our Lord, accept [this] from us. Indeed You are the Hearing, the Knowing.) [Qur’an 2:127]
We all want our worship to be accepted. Reciting this dua after Salah is a reminder that everything depends on Allah’s acceptance, not just our effort.
2. Dua for forgiveness
"Rabbighfir li wa liwalidayya wa lil-mu’mineena yawma yaqoomul hisaab"
(My Lord, forgive me and my parents and the believers on the Day the account is established.) [Qur’an 14:41]
Salah wipes away sins, but adding this dua softens the heart further, bringing mercy for ourselves, our parents, and the ummah.
3. Dua for protection from hardship
"Allahumma inni a’udhu bika minal-hammi wal-hazani wal-‘ajzi wal-kasali wal-bukhli wal-jubni, wa dalai-d-dayni wa ghalabatir-rijal"
(O Allah, I seek refuge in You from anxiety, grief, weakness, laziness, miserliness, cowardice, the burden of debts, and being overpowered by men.) [Hadith, Bukhari]
A prayer mat should be a place of peace. This dua protects the heart and mind from being weighed down by life’s difficulties.
4. Dua for goodness in this life and the next
"Rabbana atina fid-dunya hasanatan wa fil-akhirati hasanatan wa qina ‘adhaban-nar"
(Our Lord, give us in this world [that which is] good and in the Hereafter [that which is] good and protect us from the punishment of the Fire.) [Qur’an 2:201]
This is a comprehensive dua that covers all aspects of life. It’s easy to memorise and beautiful to repeat daily on your adult padded prayer mat.
5. Dua for steadfastness in faith
"Ya muqallibal-quloob, thabbit qalbi ‘ala deenik"
(O Turner of the hearts, keep my heart firm upon Your religion.) [Hadith, Tirmidhi]
The greatest blessing is iman. Asking Allah to keep our hearts firm is a dua every believer should carry with them.
