Dua from Sura Al Maidah

Dua #1.

رَبَّنَا آمَنَّا فَاكْتُبْنَا مَعَ الشَّاهِدِينَ
المائدة :83

The word “Amanna” does not refer to the Ahlul-Kitab’s past Iman but it refers to their bringing Iman of the present and being included amongst the group of believers. The word Rabbana clarifies that they are bringing the true Iman and not the superficial Iman like the hypocrites. By the word “Ash-shahidin” the ummah of Nabi (Sallallahu alaihi wasallam) is meant, those who will give testimony regarding the conveyance of the message of Nabi r.

Rabbana aamana faktubna ma' ash-shahideen

Our Lord! We believe; write us down among the witnesses. - 5:83

Dua #2.

رَبَّنَا أَنزِلْ عَلَيْنَا مَآئِدَةً مِّنَ السَّمَاء تَكُونُ لَنَا عِيداً لِّأَوَّلِنَا وَآخِرِنَا وَآيَةً مِّنكَ وَارْزُقْنَا وَأَنتَ خَيْرُ الرَّازِقِينَ
المائدة :114

Rabbana anzil 'alayna ma'idatam minas-Samai tuknu lana 'idal li-awwa-lina wa aakhirna wa ayatam-minka war-zuqna wa anta Khayrul-Raziqeen

O Allah our Lord! Send us from heaven a table set (with viands), that there may be for us - for the first and the last of us - a solemn festival and a sign from thee; and provide for our sustenance, for thou art the best Sustainer (of our needs) - 5:114

This dua was made by Esa (A) at the request of his helpers. They requested him to make dua that Allah I send down food from the skies so that they might eat and their hearts can be at ease and be satisfied that Esa (A) had spoken regarding his Rabb (Allah I). When Esa (A) saw that their objective was valid he made this dua
