Duas for relief from anxiety, worry, and distress
O Allah, indeed I am Your servant, son of Your servant, son of Your female-servant. My front hair is in Your hand. Your command over me is enacted. Your decision concerning me is just. I ask You by every name that You have called Yourself, or revealed to any of Your creation, or sent down in Your Book, or that You have kept to Yourself in the knowledge of the Unseen which is with You, to make the Qur'an the spring of my heart, and the light of my chest, and a banisher of my sadness, and a reliever of my anxiety.
O Allah, I seek refuge in You from knowledge that does not benefit, from a heart that does not humble itself, from a soul that is not satisfied, and from a supplication that is not heard.
O Allah, I ask You for beneficial knowledge, goodly provision, and acceptable deeds.
O Allah, I ask You for a good end.
O Allah, I seek refuge in You from the hardship of affliction, the attainment of wretchedness, the evil of decree, and the rejoicing of enemies.
O Allah, I seek refuge in You from distress and grief, and I seek refuge in You from incapacity and laziness, and I seek refuge in You from cowardice and stinginess, and I seek refuge in You from the burden of debt and from being overcome by men.
O Allah, I ask You for steadfastness at the time of questioning by the angel, and I ask You for a pleasant life after death, and I ask You for the delight of looking at Your Face, and the longing to meet You, without any harm or misguidance. And I seek refuge in You from wronging others or being wronged, from transgressing or being transgressed against, from acquiring sin or losing reward. And I seek refuge in You from an evil return to my family and my property, and I seek refuge in You from the supplication of one whose child has died.
O Allah, I seek refuge in You from anxiety and sorrow, from helplessness and laziness, from stinginess and cowardice, and from the burden of debt and being overpowered by men.
O Allah, we ask You to protect us from them and seek refuge in You from their evil.
O Allah, I seek refuge in You from worry and grief. I seek refuge in You from inability and laziness. I seek refuge in You from cowardice and stinginess. I seek refuge in You from being overwhelmed by debt and overpowered by men.
O Allah, I seek refuge in You from the hardship of tribulation, the attainment of misery, the evil of decree, and the rejoicing of enemies.
O Allah, I am Your servant, son of Your servant, son of Your female slave. My forelock is in Your hand. Your command over me is forever executed. Your decree concerning me is just. I ask You by every name that You have called Yourself, or revealed to anyone from Your creation, or You have kept to Yourself in the knowledge of the unseen with You, to make the Qur'an the springtime of my heart, the light of my chest, the banisher of my grief, and the remover of my worries.
