رَبِّ زِدْنِي عِلْمًا

Read by the child before starting to study — at school, at home, or when reading a book.

اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ عِلْمًا نَافِعًا وَرِزْقًا طَيِّبًا وَعَمَلًا مُتَقَبَّلًا

Read after finishing study — a reminder that knowledge is a gift from Allah to be received with gratitude.
