Personal Dua List Planning Guide

Source anchors

Quran 20:114, 2:201, 21:87

Best use

Private topic list plus source-checked Quranic duas

Boundary

Do not publish uncertain Arabic text or attribution

A personal dua list can be simple: needs, gratitude, family, forgiveness, knowledge and guidance. Quran 20:114 includes a concise dua for increase in knowledge, while Quran 2:201 is a widely used Quranic dua for good in this world and the next. Those source anchors help readers distinguish reviewed Quranic duas from personal wording.

This guide is not a copied prayer book. It helps readers make a private list, connect reviewed entries to the Dua Source Library, and avoid publishing uncertain Arabic text or weak attribution. Personal dua can remain personal, and exact quoted duas should be source-checked before sharing.

Use the list as a planning tool: group topics, note the source if a dua is Quranic, keep translations humble, and revisit the list after prayer or during Ramadan without turning it into a public checklist.

FAQ

Can I write dua in my own words?

This guide treats personal wording as private planning. When quoting a Quranic dua exactly, keep the source reference and avoid uncertain wording.

Should I share my personal dua list?

Usually keep it private. Share only what is appropriate, source-checked and not sensitive for other people named in the list.
