Question

I will soon have my final year dentistry final exams. Please tell me a dua for success in exams?

Answer

In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh.

You may recite the following Duas:

Transliteration: Allahumma infa'ni bimaa 'allamtani wa'allimni maa yanfa'uuni warzuqni ‘ilman tanfa’uni bihi.

Translation: Oh Allah! Make useful for me what you have taught me, (and) teach me knowledge that will be useful to me and grant me such knowledge that will benefit me.[1]

Transliteration: Allahumma la sahla illaa maa ja-'altahu sahlan wa anta taj'alu al hazna idha shi'ta sahlan.

Translation: Oh Allah! Nothing is easy except what you have made easy. If you wish, you can make the difficult easy.[2]

May Allah Ta’ala grant you success in the examination.

And Allah Ta’āla Knows Best

اللَّهُمَّ انْفَعْنِي بِمَا عَلَّمْتَنِي، وَعَلِّمْنِي مَا يَنْفَعُنِي، وَارْزُقْنِي عِلْمًا تَنْفَعُنِي بِهِ

اللَّهُمَّ لا سَهْلَ إِلاَّ ما جَعَلْتَهُ سَهْلاً، وأنْتَ تَجْعَلُ الحَزْنَ إذَا شئت سهلا

[1] حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْعَبَّاسِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ، ثنا الرَّبِيعُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ، ثنا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ وَهْبٍ، أَخْبَرَنِي أُسَامَةُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ، أَنَّ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنَ مُوسَى حَدَّثَهُ، عَنْ مَكْحُولٍ، أَنَّهُ دَخَلَ عَلَى أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ، قَالَ: فَسَمِعْتُهُ يَذْكُرُ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ كَانَ، يَقُولُ: «اللَّهُمَّ انْفَعْنِي بِمَا عَلَّمْتَنِي، وَعَلِّمْنِي مَا يَنْفَعُنِي، وَارْزُقْنِي عِلْمًا تَنْفَعُنِي بِهِ» هَذَا حَدِيثٌ صَحِيحٌ عَلَى شَرْطِ مُسْلِمٍ، وَلَمْ يُخَرِّجَاهُ

[المستدرك للحاكم رقم الحديث ١٨٧٩. دار الكتب العلمية]

[2] رَوَينا في كتاب ابن السني عن أنس رضي الله عنهُ، أن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم قال: "اللَّهُمَّ لا سَهْلَ إِلاَّ ما جَعَلْتَهُ سَهْلاً وأنْتَ تَجْعَلُ الحَزْنَ إذَا شِئْتَ سَهْلاً".
