40 Rabbana

Bismi Allahi arrahmani arraheem

In the name of Allah, the most Gracious, the most Merciful

In Quran Karim, word Rabbna has come in various places. If man read it with humility and subjugation, there will be strange feeling of contentment. The best time to read is before Salat-ul-Fajar and after Salat-ul-Esha. Before reading Wazifah, must read Durood Sharif.
