Duas for patience during trials and hardships
O Allah, I ask You for steadfastness in all matters, and I ask You for determination in guidance. I ask You to make me grateful for Your favors and to perfect my worship. I ask You for a sound heart and a truthful tongue. I ask You for the best of what You know, and I seek refuge in You from the evil of what You know. I seek Your forgiveness for what You know.
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 judgment of me is just. I ask You by every name belonging to You, which You have revealed to Yourself, or You have taught to any of Your creation, or You have sent down in Your Book, or You have preserved in the knowledge of the unseen with You, that You make the Quran the delight of my heart, the light of my breast, the banisher of my grief, and the reliever of my anxiety.
O Allah, I ask You for patience during what I dislike, and a happy life after this [life]. And I ask You for coolness of the eye that does not cease. And I ask You for contentment after Your decree, and I ask You for the pleasantness of life after death, and I ask You for the delight of looking at Your Face, and longing to meet You, without any distressing harm or misleading trial. O Allah, adorn us with the adornment of faith, and make us guides who guide others and are guided.
O Allah, indeed I am Your servant, son of Your servant, son of Your female servant. 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 in Your Book, or taught to any of Your creation, or kept unto Yourself in the knowledge of the unseen that is with You, that You make the Quran the spring of my heart, the light of my chest, the banisher of my grief, and the remover of my worries.
Verily, we belong to Allah, and to Him we shall return. O Allah, reward me in my affliction and recompense me with something better than it.
O Allah, I am Your servant, son of Your servant, son of Your female servant. My forelock is in Your hand. Your command over me is inevitable. Your decree concerning me is just. I ask You by every name that You have called Yourself, or revealed in Your Book, or taught to any of Your creation, or kept unto Yourself in the eternal knowledge of the unseen: I ask that You make the Qur'an the springtime of my heart, the light of my chest, the banisher of my sadness, and the remover of my worries.

O Allah, I seek refuge in You from the disappearance of Your blessings, and the change of Your protection, and the suddenness of Your punishment, and all of Your anger. O Allah, I seek refuge in You from the distress of affairs, and the evil of destiny, and the rejoicing of enemies, and the burden of debt.
O Turner of the hearts, keep my heart firm on Your religion.
