Dua In The Time Of Sorrow

[ummtaalib]

Question:

Is there any duas to be recited when one is worried and depressed?

 

Answer:

In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh.

 

Take note of the following Hadith and the Du’aa of Rasulullaah (salallaahu ῾alayhi wasallam)

كَانَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَدْعُو عِنْدَ الْكَرْبِ يَقُولُ

 

“لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ الْعَظِيمُ الْحَلِيمُ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ رَبُّ السَّمَوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ وَرَبُّ الْعَرْشِ الْعَظِيمِ”

 

Transliteration:-La ilaha illa Allah Al-’Azim, Al-’Halim, la ilaha illa Allah, Rabbul ‘arshil ‘Azim, la ilaha illa Allahu, Rabbus-Samawati wa rabbul ardi wa rabbul ‘arshi karim

 

 

:Translation:-Whenever Prophet salallahu ῾alayh wasallam would face distress he would recite

“There is no deity except Allah, The Mighty and Forbearing; There is no deity except Allah, Lord of the skies and the Earth and the Lord of the Mighty Throne

 

And Allah Ta’āla Knows Best
