اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي عَبْدُكَ، ابْنُ عَبْدِكَ، ابْنُ أَمَتِكَ، نَاصِيَتِي بِيَدِكَ، مَاضٍ فِيَّ حُكْمُكَ، عَدْلٌ فِيَّ قَضَاؤُكَ، أَسْأَلُكَ بِكُلِّ اسْمٍ هُوَ لَكَ سَمَّيْتَ بِهِ نَفْسَكَ، أَوْ عَلَّمْتَهُ أَحَدًا مِنْ خَلْقِكَ، أَوْ أَنْزَلْتَهُ فِي كِتَابِكَ، أَوْ اسْتَأْثَرْتَ بِهِ فِي عِلْمِ الغَيْبِ 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 necessary. Your judgment concerning me is just. I ask You by every name that You have called Yourself, or that You have taught to anyone from Your creation, or that You have revealed in Your Book, or that You have retained 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 sadness, and the remover of my anxieties.
Allahumma inni 'abduka, ibnu 'abdika, ibnu amatika, nasiyati biyadika, madin fiyya h ukmuka, 'adlun fiyya qada'uka, as'aluka bikulli ismin huwa laka sammayta bihi nafsaka, aw 'allamtahu ahadan min khalqika, aw anzaltahu fi kitabika, aw ista'tharta bihi fi 'ilmil-ghaibi 'indaka, an taj'ala al-Qur'ana rabi'a qalbi, wa nura sadri, wa jila'a huzni, wa dhahaba hammi.

Virtues & Benefits
This comprehensive supplication connects our reliance on Allah with the ultimate source of peace and guidance – the Holy Qur'an. By invoking Allah's names and acknowledging His absolute control, we affirm our trust in His plan. The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ taught us that the Qur'an is a cure for sadness and anxiety ('jila'a huzni wa dhahaba hammi'). Turning to the Qur'an, both in recitation and reflection, can bring immense solace, ease the burdens of worry, and provide clarity during difficult times. This dua helps shift our focus from our troubles to Allah's mercy and wisdom, fostering patience and contentment.
Source & Authentication
The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ said: 'When any of my Ummah is afflicted by sadness or distress and makes this Dua, it will be accepted from him and sadness will depart from him and his worries will be replaced by joy.' The narrator said: 'O Messenger of Allah! Should we learn these words?' He replied: 'Yes, indeed! It is essential for everyone who hears them to learn them.' (Reported by Ahmad and Al-Hakim, who classified it as Sahih). *Note: While Ahmad classifies this specific wording as Hasan, the core meaning and benefit of seeking solace through the Qur'an is strongly established in authentic narrations.*
