(Ṭāhā: 25–28)

(Al-Qasas: 5)

رَبِّ أَخْرِجْنِي مِنْ هَذِهِ الْقَرْيَةِ الظَّالِمِ أَهْلُهَا وَاجْعَلْ لِي مِن لَّدُنكَ وَلِيًّا وَاجْعَلْ لِّي مِن لَّدُنكَ نَصِيرًا
(An-Nisāʾ: 75)
(O my Lord! Bring me out of this town whose people are oppressors, and appoint for me a protector from Yourself, and appoint for me a helper from Yourself.)
⑤ Supplication for the Release of Prisoners:
اللَّهُمَّ فُكَّ أَسْرَ الْمَأْسُورِينَ، وَأَطْلِقْ سَرَاحَ الْمَظْلُومِينَ، وَرُدَّهُمْ إِلَىٰ أَهْلِهِمْ سَالِمِينَ

(O Allah! Hasten the release of every wrongfully imprisoned person, and grant them patience and steadfastness.)
⑧ Supplication for Freedom and Relief:
اللَّهُمَّ اجْعَلْ لَهُمْ مِنْ أَمْرِهِمْ مَخْرَجًا، وَيَسِّرْ لَهُمْ سَبِيلَ الْحُرِّيَّةِ وَالرَّاحَةِ
(O Allah! Provide them a way out of their plight and ease for them the path to freedom and comfort.)
⑨ Supplication for the Salvation of Innocent Prisoners:
اللَّهُمَّ فُكَّ أَسْرَ إِخْوَانِنَا الْمَسْجُونِينَ وَأَعِدْهُمْ إِلَىٰ أَهْلِهِمْ بِسَلاَمٍ
(O Allah! Free our imprisoned brothers and return them to their families safely.)
⑩ Supplication for Help and Steadfastness:
اللَّهُمَّ ارْحَمْ ضُعْفَهُمْ وَأَعِنْهُمْ عَلَىٰ مَا هُمْ فِيهِ وَثَبِّتْهُمْ عَلَىٰ دِينِكَ
(O Allah! Have mercy on their weakness, aid them in their suffering, and keep them firm upon Your religion.)
⑪ Supplication for the Relief of Distressed Prisoners:
اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ بِأَسْمَائِكَ الْحُسْنَىٰ وَصِفَاتِكَ الْعُلْيَا أَنْ تُفَرِّجَ هَمَّ وَكَرْبَ كُلِّ مَسْجُونٍ وَمُضْطَهَدٍ
(O Allah! I ask You by Your Most Beautiful Names and Lofty Attributes to relieve the grief and distress of every prisoner and oppressed person.)
⑫ Supplication for Light in the Darkness of Prison:
اللَّهُمَّ اجْعَلْ لَهُمْ نُورًا فِي ظُلُمَاتِ السِّجْنِ وَأَخْرِجْهُمْ مِنْهُ بِرَحْمَتِكَ
(O Allah! Grant them light in the darkness of prison and bring them out by Your mercy.)
These supplications are immensely effective for innocent prisoners. We must recite them frequently and sincerely, asking Allah ﷻ to have mercy on all innocent Muslims, grant them swift freedom, and protect them from the cruelty of oppressors.
