A supplication from Sūrah An-Nisā’ where the believers ask Allah for deliverance from an oppressive town and seek His guidance and support. They plead for a protector and helper from…
رَبَّنَا أَخْرِجْنَا مِنْ هَٰذِهِ الْقَرْيَةِ الظَّالِمِ أَهْلُهَا وَاجْعَل لَّنَا مِن لَّدُنكَ وَلِيًّا وَاجْعَل لَّنَا مِن لَّدُنكَ نَصِيرًا
Our Lord, take us out of this town whose people are oppressors, and appoint for us from Yourself a protector, and appoint for us from Yourself a helper.
Rabbanā akhrijnā min hādhihil-qaryati aẓ-ẓālimi ahluhā wajʿal lanā min ladunka walīyyan wajʿal lanā min ladunka naṣīrā.
Context
This duʿā can be recited to express trust in Allah's promises and to seek His blessings and protection on the Day of Judgment. To seek Allah's protection and assistance against oppression and to ask for a protector and helper from Him.
Benefits
This duʿāʾ voices the cry of those who are trapped — unable to leave, unable to resist, with no worldly means of relief. It validates the spiritual legitimacy of calling out to Allah from within ongoing oppression, without waiting for circumstances to change.
Teaches that seeking both a protector (walī) and a helper (naṣīr) is itself a recognised sunnah of duʿāʾ — acknowledging that deliverance may require both divine cover and active support.
Reflects collective vulnerability as a valid condition for duʿāʾ — this is a communal plea, demonstrating that shared suffering can be brought before Allah together.
Instils trust that Allah hears those the world has forgotten — the weak, the overlooked, and those with no visible advocate.
Connects the believer's distress to a long prophetic tradition of crying out from within oppression, rather than only after escaping it.
