What is the meaning of the supplication “Rabbenā etmim lenâ nûranâ vagfir lenâ inneke alâ kulli şey’in kadîr”?
The meaning of this supplication is for the servant to acknowledge their powerlessness before Allah’s majesty and to seek help through His grace. The word duā (supplication) carries meanings such as ‘to call,’ ‘to ask,’ and ‘to request assistance.’ Supplication is encouraged in verses and hadith. For example, “Fear Him and hope for His mercy.” (Al-A’raf 7:56) and “There is nothing more precious than supplication in the sight of Allah.” (Tirmidhi, Du’awat, 1; Ibn Majah, Dua, 1) support this.
