Our Lord, give us in this world that which is good and in the Hereafter that which is good, and protect us from the punishment of the Fire. This is one of the most comprehensive duas in the Quran, frequently made by the Prophet (peace be upon him).
رَبِّ اشْرَحْ لِي صَدْرِي وَيَسِّرْ لِي أَمْرِي وَاحْلُلْ عُقْدَةً مِنْ لِسَانِي يَفْقَهُوا قَوْلِي

My Lord, expand for me my chest, ease my task for me, and remove the knot from my tongue so that they may understand my speech. The dua of Prophet Musa (Moses) when Allah sent him to Pharaoh.
رَبَّنَا لَا تُزِغْ قُلُوبَنَا بَعْدَ إِذْ هَدَيْتَنَا وَهَبْ لَنَا مِنْ لَدُنْكَ رَحْمَةً إِنَّكَ أَنْتَ الْوَهَّابُ

My Lord, increase me in knowledge. This concise yet profound Quranic dua is a request for beneficial knowledge in all aspects of life and religion.
