حَسْبِيَ اللَّهُ لَا إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَ ۖ عَلَيْهِ تَوَكَّلْتُ ۖ وَهُوَ رَبُّ الْعَرْشِ الْعَظِيمِ
Allah is sufficient for me. There is no god but Him. I have placed my trust in Him, and He is the Lord of the Great Throne.
Hasbiyallahu la ilaha illa Huwa, 'alayhi tawakkaltu, wa Huwa Rabbul 'Arshil 'Adheem.

How to Read
This dua is beautiful in its simplicity and profound in its meaning. You can recite it once or multiple times, with sincere intention and a heart full of reliance on Allah.

Speak the words with conviction, letting the meaning sink into your heart, particularly when the sting of injustice weighs heavily upon you.
Virtues & Benefits
This verse, revealed in the Quran and also found as a prophetic dua, is a cornerstone for anyone facing hardship or injustice. Allah Himself assures us of its power: When the disbelievers said, 'We have heard, [but instead] say: 'I have heard!'': 'Indeed, Allah has bestowed on us a favor by guiding us to faith, although we were not people who would find guidance had it not been for Allah.' (Surah Al-Imran, 3:170-171). The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ taught us that 'Whoever says this in the morning seven times, Allah will suffice him for what worries him for that day.' (Sahih al-Bukhari 6306). This signifies that its recitation brings a divine shield, offering protection and peace against worries, troubles, and the anxieties that injustice can bring.
