"Rabbana", or "Shajarian's Rabbana", is one of the revered works of Mohammad-Reza Shajarian, consisting of four supplications taken from the Qur'an. It is performed in the Segāh modal system, and each supplication begins with the phrase Rabbana (Our Lord). The piece was recorded in July 1979, and for 30 years it was one of the main broadcasts of Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting during the Islamic month of Ramadan. In May 2017, the piece was inscribed as a piece of Iran's intangible cultural heritage, with the registration number 1396. According to Shajarian, because people had long been accustomed to hearing Seyyed Javad Zabihi’s rendition of the supplication Rabbana at iftar time, he composed a new version by adding two more Qur’anic verses and recorded it at a Radio Iran studio. His main motivation was to teach the piece to students who were to recite supplications on national television before iftar. Mohammad-Reza Shajarian performed this supplication as a training version for his students to practice, unaware of its potential to rise to popularity.
