Dua While Sitting Between Two Sujood (Text, Pictures & MP3)

Here is the supplication (dua) recited while sitting between the two Sujood (prostrations) in prayer. This brief sitting is called “Jalsah.”

There are a couple of variations taught from the Sunnah.

1. The Short & Most Common Dua

Many scholars mention reciting this twice.

رَبِّ اغْفِرْ لِي، رَبِّ اغْفِرْ لِي

Rabbighfir li, Rabbighfir li

My Lord, forgive me. My Lord, forgive me.

A more comprehensive supplication, also reported in Hadith, is as follows:

اللّٰهُمَّ اغْفِرْ لِي، وَارْحَمْنِي، وَاهْدِنِي، وَاجْبُرْنِي، وَعَافِنِي، وَارْزُقْنِي، وَارْفَعْنِي

Allāhummagh-firlī, warḥamnī, wahdinī, wajburnī, wa ʿāfinī, warzuqnī, warfaʿnī.

O Allah, forgive me, have mercy on me, guide me, compensate for my shortcomings, grant me well-being, provide for me, and elevate me.
