Quranic verse on Dua (supplication) from Trial and for Mercy

“Rab-banaa laa taj-`alnaa fitna-tal-lil-qawmiz-zaali-meen; Wa naj-jinaa bi-RaH-ma-ti-ka mi-nal-qawmil-kaa-fi-reen.“

85. “… Our Lord! Make us not a trial for the folk who are wrongdoers.” 86. “And save us by Your mercy from the disbelieving folk.”

Surah Yunus (10: 85-86)

Interpretation of meaning:

Musa encouraged His People to put Their Trust in Allah. The Children of Israel complied with this command and said: “In Allah we put our trust. Our Lord! Make us not a trial for the folk who are wrongdoers.”- This means don’t give them victory over us so that they rule us. So they might not think that they have authority over us because they were following the truth and we were falsehood. This might be a deceiving trial for them. “And save us by Your mercy”- means save us through Your mercy and beneficence; “from the disbelieving folk” – meaning, from those who denied the truth and covered it. We truly have believed in You and put our trust in You.
