and came across some beautiful duas to be read to relieve oneself from Distress or Worry.
I found it very useful as I dont think anybody in this world is spared from Anxiety and
Worry…..!!!!! That was exactly what i needed the most, Some duas that would help me
increase my faith in Allah, I will be reading those duas daily inshallah as Prevention is
always better than cure, Dont you agree ???? Here they are -

For Distress :

1. Allahumma inni a’oodhu bika mina al-hamm wa’l-hazn wa’l-ajz wa’l-kasal wa’l-bukhl wa’l-jubn wa dala wa’l-dayn
wa ghalbat al-rijal

Trans: O Allah ! I seek refuge in You from distress, grief, incapacity, laziness, miserliness, cowardice,
the burden of debt and from being overpowered by Men.

2. Allahumma inni abduka ibn abdika ibn amatija nasyati bi yadika, mada fiyya hukmuka, adlun fiyya qada’uka.
As’aluka bi kulli ismin huwa laka sammayta bihi nafsaka aw anzaltu fi kitabika aw ‘allamtahu ahadan min khalqika aw
ista’tharta bihi fi ilm il-ghayb indaka an taj’al al-Qurana rabee’ qalbi wa noor sadri wa jala huzni wa dhihab hammi

Trans: O Allah! I am your slave , son of your slave, son of your maidservant; my forelock is in Your
hand, Your command over me is forever executed and Your decree over is just. I ask you by every
name belonging to You which You have named Yourselves with, or revealed in Your Book, or You taught
to any of Your creation, or You have preserved in the knowledge of the unseen with You, that You
make the Quran the life of my heart and the light of my breast, and a departure for my sorrow and a
release for my anxiety.

eye: rectify all my affairs. There is no God except You.
