Students in Kuwait and Egypt Recite Prayers Ahead of Secondary Exams

As secondary school students begin their 2026 examinations, many in Kuwait and Egypt are turning to traditional prayers for confidence and success. Kuwaiti media outlet "الاسبوع" published a list of supplications, including lines such as "اللهم لا سهل إلا ما جعلته سهلًا" and "ربّ اشرح لي صدري، ويسّر لي أمري". Egyptian websites offered similar collections, urging learners to recite verses like "اللهم افتح عليَّ فتوح العارفين، وارزقني التوفيق والسداد" before entering the exam hall. Both sources emphasize that prayer can calm anxiety, enhance focus, and invoke divine assistance during the tests.
