Dua for Invoking Allah in times of Distress

In times of grief, fear, or deep distress, the Prophet taught us a Dua that calms the heart and strengthens the soul.

The Prophet used to say during times of distress:

لا إله إلا الله العظيم الحليم لا إله إلا الله رب العرش العظيم
لا إله إلا الله رب السماوات ورب الأرض ورب العرش الكريم

There is no lord worthy of worship but Allah, the Magnificent, the Forbearing. There is no Lord worthy of worship, but Allah, Lord of the Mighty Throne. There is no Lord worthy of worship, but Allah, Lord of the Heavens, Lord of the Earth, and Lord of the Noble Throne.

Reference: Sahih Al-Bukhari: 6346

Why Is This Dua So Powerful?

لا إله إلا الله العظيم الحليم لا إله إلا الله رب العرش العظيم
لا إله إلا الله رب السماوات ورب الأرض ورب العرش الكريم

-Because it centers your heart on Allah alone, not the problem.

- it reminds you that the One who created the Heavens and Earth is fully in control.

-The repetition of La Ilaha Illa Allah serves as a powerful reminder that none can remove harm or bring relief except Him. What you're facing is small, and the One you're calling upon is greater, stronger, and fully in charge.

➡️This Dua isn't just words, it shifts your focus from the hardship to the One who can remove the hardship.

Dua against the Enemy

اللَّهُمَّ مُنْزِلَ الْكِتَابِ سَرِيعَ الْحِسَابِ اهْزِمِ الأَحْزَابَ اللَّهُمَّ اهْزِمْهُمْ وَزَلْزِلْهُمْ

O Allah, Revealer of the Book, swift in (taking) account, put the tribes to rout. O Lord, defeat them and shake them.

Reference: Sahih Muslim 1742b

It is narrated on the authority of Ibn Abu Aufa that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) cursed the tribes (who had marched upon Medina with a combined force in 5 H) and said:
اللَّهُمَّ مُنْزِلَ الْكِتَابِ سَرِيعَ الْحِسَابِ اهْزِمِ الأَحْزَابَ اللَّهُمَّ اهْزِمْهُمْ وَزَلْزِلْهُمْ

Reference: Sahih Muslim 1742b

O believers, the cries from Palestine, Sudan, Congo, Syria, Lebanon, and beyond continue to rise, day after day.

➡️Children are buried beneath rubble.
➡️Women are widowed before their eyes have dried from the last loss.
➡️Elderly parents say goodbye to their entire households.
And yet… they hold onto Lā ilāha illallāh, even in their final breath.

The world remains silent, but our hearts should not.

Let us also raise our hands, as the Prophet ﷺ did. Let us turn to Allah Subḥānahu wa Taʿālā, who hears the silent tear and answers the whispered cry.

Ya Allah,
Destroy the oppressors who exceed all bounds and transgress Your limits.
Uphold justice upon this Earth, as You promised.
Grant sabr to the grieving, cure to the wounded, and security to those who fear.
Replace their hunger with provision, their fear with safety, their sorrow with peace.
You are Ar-Raḥmān, we ask not for much, just a drop from Your Mercy.

➡️O Ummah,
-Do not scroll past the pain.
-Do not let your dua fall silent.
-This supplication is our shield, our strength, and our hope.
-Revive the dua of your Prophet ﷺ.
-Let it rise from your heart with sincerity.
-Let it shake the heavens with your hope in your Rabb.

➡️May Allah Subḥānahu wa Taʿālā accept our prayers, grant victory to the oppressed, and count us among those who stood in sincerity when the world looked away, Aameen.

JUST ASK FOR FORGIVENESS.

A man complained to Hasan al-Basri (rahimahullah d. 110 AH) about a drought.

So he said to him: Pray to Allaah for forgiveness.

Another man complained to him of poverty.

So he said to him: Pray to Allaah to forgive you.

Another man said to him: Pray to Allaah to bless me with a child.

He said: Pray to Allaah for forgiveness.

Another complained to him that his garden was dry.

He said to him: Pray to Allaah for forgiveness.

We asked him about that and he said: This is not my personal opinion.

For Allaah says:

فَقُلْتُ ٱسْتَغْفِرُوا۟ رَبَّكُمْ إِنَّهُۥ كَانَ غَفَّارًا [٧١:١٠]

"I [Prophet Nooh (alaihumus salam) said (to them): 'Ask forgiveness from your Lord; Verily, He is Oft-Forgiving. (Al Qurʾān 71:10)

He’ll send rain to you in abundance.

And give you increase in wealth and children,
and bestow on you gardens and bestow on you rivers.

[Surah Nuh (v. 10-12).Source: Tafsir al-Qurtubi (v. 18, pp. 301-302)].

Keep saying “Astaghfirullah” with trust in your heart, knowing that Allah is taking care of everything for you.

Be patient, and in time, He’ll open the doors you’ve been waiting for, whether it’s marriage, a new job, children, or anything else you desire.Remember, Allah’s plan is always better than we can imagine.

Aban bin Uthman said:
“I heard Uthman bin Affan (رضي الله عنه) saying: ‘The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: “There is no worshiper who says, in the morning of every day, and the evening of every night:
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الَّذِي لاَ يَضُرُّ مَعَ اسْمِهِ شَيْءٌ فِي الأَرْضِ وَلاَ فِي السَّمَاءِ وَهُوَ السَّمِيعُ الْعَلِيمُ

Bismillāh, alladhi lā yaḍurru maa ismihi shai'un fil-arḍi wa lā fis-samā', wa huwas-Samīul Alīm)’ – three times , (except that) nothing shall harm him.”

And Aban had been stricken with a type of semi-paralysis, so a man began to look at him, so Aban said to him, “What are you looking at? Indeed the Hadith is as I reported it to you, but I did not say it one day, so Allah brought about His decree upon me.”
