Dua for Solace and Companionship When Feeling Isolated as a Sole Caregiver

Loneliness & Isolation
Hasan HadithMusnad Ahmad 3701

اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي عَبْدُكَ، ابْنُ عَبْدِكَ، ابْنُ أَمَتِكَ، نَاصِيَتِي بِيَدِكَ، مَاضٍ فِيَّ حُكْمُكَ، عَدْلٌ فِيَّ قَضَاؤُكَ، أَسْأَلُكَ بِكُلِّ اسْمٍ هُوَ لَكَ، سَمَّيْتَ بِهِ نَفْسَكَ، أَوْ أَنْزَلْتَهُ فِي كِتَابِكَ، أَوْ عَلَّمْتَهُ أَحَدًا مِنْ خَلْقِكَ، أَوْ اسْتَأْثَرْتَ بِهِ فِي عِلْمِ الْغَيْبِ عِنْدَكَ، أَنْ تَجْعَلَ الْقُرْآنَ رَبِيعَ قَلْبِي، وَنُورَ صَدْرِي، وَجِلَاءَ حُزْنِي، وَذَهَابَ هَمِّي.

O Allah, I am Your servant, son of Your servant, son of Your maidservant. My forelock is in Your hand. Your command over me is ever effective, and Your decree concerning me is just. I ask You by every name that You have called Yourself, by which You have revealed it in Your Book, or You have taught it to any of Your creation, or which You have retained in the knowledge of the unseen with You, that You make the Qur'an the springtime of my heart, and the light of my chest, and a banisher of my sadness and a reliever of my anxieties.

Allahumma inni 'abduk, ibnu 'abdik, ibnu amatik, nasiyati bi-yadik, madin fiyya h-ukmuk, 'adlun fiyya qada'uk, as'aluka bi-kulli-sm-in huwa lak, sammayta bihi nafsak, aw anzaltahu fi kitadik, aw 'allamtahu ahadan min khalqik, aw ista'tharta bihi fi 'ilm-il-ghaybi 'indak, an taj'al-al-Qur'ana rabi'a qalbi, wa nura sadri, wa jila'a huzni, wa dhahaba hammi.

Narrated 'Abdullah bin Mas'ud: The Prophet (ﷺ) said, 'There is no servant who is afflicted with anxiety or grief, and he says: Allahumma inni 'abduk, ibnu 'abdik, ibnu amatik, nasiyati bi-yadik, madin fiyya h-ukmuk, 'adlun fiyya qada'uk, as'aluka bi-kulli-sm-in huwa lak, sammayta bihi nafsak, aw anzaltahu fi kitadik, aw 'allamtahu ahadan min khalqik, aw ista'tharta bihi fi 'ilm-il-ghaybi 'indak, an taj'al-al-Qur'ana rabi'a qalbi, wa nura sadri, wa jila'a huzni, wa dhahaba hammi. - except that Allah will remove his anxiety and grief, and replace it with joy.'
