Dua'a to Overcome Worries

"Reasons for worries"

 

BISMILLAHIR RAHMANIR RAHIM
ALLAHUMMA S'ALE A'LAA MUHAMMAD WA AALE MUHAMMAD

 

1) According to Imam Jafar bin Mohammad as Sadiq, to remove worries recite (i) al Kaafiroon (ii) al Ikhlas (iii) al Falaq (iv) an Naas three times daily.
 

 

2) According to Imam Musa bin Jafar al Kazim, to remove worries, recite any 100 verses of the holy Quran and at the end recite 3 times :

O Allah, drive the misfortune away from me.

ALLAAHUMMAD - FA 'A'NNIL BALAA - A

 

3) According to Imam Musa bin Jafar al Kazim, if a man in trouble keeps with him written BISMILLA'AHIR RAH'MAANIR RAH'EEM Allah saves him from the worries he is afflicted with. Allah did not destroy Firwan in his house because BISMILLAAAHIR RAH'MAANIR RAH'EEM was written on his door.
 

4) According to Imam Muhammad bin Ali al Baqir the Ahl ul Bayt used to recite the following du-a'a to seek safety from Allah whenever worries troubled them :

O the (ever) existing who is a priori to all existence; O the creator (who says ‘be’ and it becomes) of all things, O the everlasting eternal even when everything (created) shall perish:
Send blessings on Muhammad and his children and do for me (mention your desire here)

YAA KAAA-INAN QABLA KULLI SHAY -IN WA YAA MUKAWWINA KULLI SHAY -IN WA YAA BAAQIYA BA'DA KULLI SHAY -IN S'ALLI ALA MUH'AMMADIN WA AHLI BAYTIHEE WAF-A'L BEE
 

يَا كَائِنًا قَبْلَ كُلِّ شَيْ‏ءٍ

 وَ يَا مُكَوِّنَ كُلِّ شَيْ‏ء

ٍ وَ يَا بَاقِي بَعْدَ كُلِّ شَيْ‏ء

ٍ صَلِّ عَلٰى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ افْعَلْ بِيْ

 

5) According to Imam Musa bin Jafar al Kazim recite the following du-a'a to remove worries after tahajjud.

Glory be to Allah and praise be to Him. I seek protection of Allah and I beseech Him to give me His bounties generously.

SUBH'AANALLAAHIL A'Z'EEMI WA BIH'AMDIHEE ASTAGHFIRULLAAAHAA WA AS-ALUHOO MIN FAZ'LIHEE
 

 

7) Imam Jafar bin Mohammad as Sadiq advised his followers to recite the following du-a'a to remove worries :

I enumerate the merits of all that which are glorious and magnificent (to know that) there is no god save Allah; and for (removal of) pains and sorrows there is no power nor strength (in any) save in Allah. Muhammad is the first light, Ali the second light; and all the pious Imams (of the Ahlul Bayt) are a means to reach the presence of Allah and a protection from the enemies of Allah. All things are dwarfed in presence of the greatness of Allah. I seek sufficient (support) from Allah, the mighty, the glorious.

8) Recite the following du-a'a to remove worries :

O Allah, if my sins have blackened my face, I turn to You through Your prophet, Muhammad, the prophet of mercy, blessings of Allah be on him and on his children, (and through) Ali, Fatimah, Hasan, Husayn and the (rest of the) Imams (of the Ahl ul Bayt), peace be on all of them.

ALLAAHUMMA IN KAANAT D'UNOOBEE QAD AKHLAQAT WAJHEE I'NDAKA FA INNEE ATAWAJJAHU ILAYKA BI NABIYYIKA NABIYYIR RAH'MATI MUHAMMADIN S'ALLALLAAHU A'LAYHI WA AALIHEE WA A'LIYYIN WA FAAT'IMATA WALAH'ASANI WAL H'USAYNI WAL A-IMMATI A'LAYHIMUS SALAAM
 

9) Recite the following verse 129 of al Bara at to remove worries:

Allah suffices me. There is no god but He. On Him do I rely, and He is the Lord of the great throne.

H'ASBIYALLAAHU LAAA ILAAHA ILLAA HUW A'LAYHI TAWAKKALTU WA HUWA RABBUL A'RSHIL A'Z'EEM.

 

10) To remove worries and obtain satisfaction of legitimate desires pray a 4 raka-at salat in 2 sets of two rak-ats each.

a) In the first rak-at after recitation of al Fatihah, recite 25 times verse 44 of al Mumin:

I entrust my affair to Allah, verily, Allah keeps an eye on (His) servants.

WA UFAWWIZ'U AMREE ILALLAAH INNALLAAHA BAS'EERUM BIL IBAAD

b) In the second rak-at after recitation of al Fatihah recite 25 times verse 87 and 88 of al Anbiya:

There is no god save You. Glory be to You. Verily I was of there unjust. Then We responded to him and delivered him from grief, thus do We deliver the believers.

LAA ILAAHA ILLAAA ANTA SUBH'AANAKA INNEE KUNTU MINAZ'Z'AALIMEEN FAS-TAJABNAA LAHOO WA NAJJAYNAAHU MINAL GHAMM WA KAD'AALIKA NUNJIL MOOMINEEN

c) In the third ra-kat after recitation of al Fatihah recite 25 times the following portion of verse 173 of Ali Imran:

Allah is sufficient for us; and most excellent is He (who) protects us.

H'ASBUNALLAAHU WA NI' MAL WAKEEL

d) In the fourth rakat after recitation of al Fatihah, recite

There is no power and no strength save with Allah the high, the great.

LAA H'AWLA WA LAA QUWWATA ILLAA BILLAAHIL A'LIYYIL A'Z'EEM


e) After the recitation of salam, recite salawat 25 times and then invoke Allah to fulfill your desires.
 

 

وَ أُفَوِّضُ أَمْرِيْ إِلَى اللَّهِ إِنَّ اللَّهَ بَصِيْرٌ بِالْعِبَادِ

 

 

لَا إِلٰهَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ سُبْحَانَكَ إِنِّيْ كُنْتُ مِنَ الظَّالِمِيْنَ فَاسْتَجَبْنَا لَهٗ وَ نَجَّيْنَاهُ مِنَ الْغَمِّ وَ كَذٰلِكَ نُنْجِي الْمُؤْمِنِيْنَ

 

 

حَسْبُنَا اللَّهُ وَ نِعْمَ الْوَكِيْلُ

 

 

 

لَا حَوْلَ وَ لَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللَّهِ الْعَلِيِّ الْعَظِيْمِ.

 

11) Imam Jafar bin Mohammad as Sadiq advised his followers to pray a 6 rak-at salat in sets of 2 rakat each and at the end recite the following du-a'a

O Allah, give us welfare from wheresoever You desire, as You wish and when You want. Verily You do that which You find satisfying because it pleases You.

ALLAAHUMMA AATINEE BIN A'AFIYATI MIN H'AYTHU SHI-TA WA KAYFA SHI-TA WA ANNAA SHI-TA FA-INNAKA TAF-A'LU MAA SHI-TA KAYFA SHI-TA

 

12) To remove all difficulties, worries and troubles recite following du-a-a by Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib

O Allah, verily You, unto those who love You, are more loving than any who loves; You are ever at hand to fulfill atonce the desires of those who rely on You; You take notice of their wishes, You perceive their innermost thoughts, You know the depth of their intelligence. You are fully aware of their confidential concerns. There hearts long for (relief from) You. Whenever miserable and forsaken Your remembrance comfort them in distress. Whenever misfortunes assult them, they turn to You, knowing well that the reins of all affairs are in Your hand and every affair rise from and flow out as soon as Your decision is made. O my Allah, if I falter in speaking my request and wander astray in describing my needs and wants, show me the way that leads to that which promotes my interests and turn my heart to its course, because it is neither against (the principles of) Your guidance nor Your act of giving succour can be described as unlikely.
O my Allah, support me with Your pardon, do not burden me with Your justice.

ALLAAHUMMA INNAKA ANNISUL AANEESEENA LI-AWLIYAA-IKA WA AH'Z"URUHUM BIL KIFAAYATI LIL MUTAWAKKILEENA A'LAYKA TASHHADUHUM FEE SARRA-IRIHIM WEA TAT'T'ALI-U FEE Z"AMAA--IRIHIM WA TA'LAMU MABLAGHA BAS'AA-IRIHIM FA-ASRAARUHUM LAKA MAKSHOOFATUN WA QULOOBUHUM ILAYKA MALHOOFATUN IN AWH'ASHAT-HUMUL GHURBATU AANASAHUM D'IKRUKA WA IN S'UBBAT A'LAYHIMUL MAS'AA-IBU LAJAAA-U ILAL ISTIJAARATI BIKA I'LMAN BI-ANNA A'Z'EEMATAL UMOORI BIYADIKA WA MAS'AADIRAHAA A'N QAZ" AAA-IKA ALLAAHUMMA IN FAHAH-TU MAS-ALATEE AW A'MIHTU A'N T'ALIBATEE FADULLANEE A'LAA MAS'AALIH'EE WA KHUD' BIQALBEE ILAA MARAASHIDEE FA LAYSA D'AALIKA BINUKRIN MIN HIDAAYATIKA WA LAA BIBAD-I'N MIN KIFAAYATIKA ALLAAHUMMAH-MALNEE A'LAA A'FWIKA WA LAA TAH'MILNEE A'LAA A'DLIKA

13) The following dua'a by Imam Ali Ibn abi Talib should be written in saffron and tied on the right arm for safety from all calamities, troubles, wickedness and sorcery.

Ikaynoosh Arkanoosh Arahshash Atbeetasfanee Yaa Mattaroon Qaryaalaysiyoon Maawamaa Soomah Soomaa Taytasaloos Khabtoos Musfaqees Masaa Ma-oosh Afartee-oosh Lateefa Kash Lateefoosh-this (and) this-and you were not (present) in the western side when We sent our command to Musa, neither you were there to witness. O accursed, go away by the power of Allah, and by the honour of the Lord of the worlds. Get out imprisoned. Get out from this. It is not for you to show pride here, so get out, verily you are of those despised. Get out of this, despised, driven away; accursed as We cursed the people of the Sabbath, and the command of Allah is always executed. Get out, O afflicted. Get out O Sooran O Sooran in the name of that name which is kept secret, O Tat’aaroon T’aroon Mar-o’on. Blessings be for Allah who is the best creator. O Hayaa, O Hayaa, in the name of the everliving ever-subsisting name which is written on the forehead of Israafeel disappear at once from the holder of this written text, (whoever it may be) a genie (male or female), a devil (male or female) or a follower of (the devil, male or female), a sorcerer or sorcersess, a demon (male or female), a juggler or a trickster, whoever endangers the lives of the sons of Adam and daughters of Hawwaa. There is no power and strength (with any one) save with Allah, the highest, the greatest. Blessings of Allah be on Muhammad and on his pure, purified, and infallible children.

1

O Reliever of worry! O Remover of grief!

يَا فَارِجَ الْهَمِّ وَكَاشِفَ الغَمِّ،

1

 

 

 

2

O Merciful in this world and the next and Compassionate in both!

يَا رَحْمنَ الدُّنْيَا وَالآخِرَةِ وَرَحِيمَهُمَا،

2

 

 

 

3

Bless Muhammad and the Household of Muhammad,

صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّد وَآلِ مُحَمَّد،

3

 

 

 

4

relieve my worry, and remove my grief!

وَافْرُجْ هَمِّيَ، وَاكْشِفْ غَمِّيَ،

4

 

 

 

5

O One, O Unique, O Eternal Refuge!

يَا وَاحِدُ يَا أَحَدُ، يَا صَمَدُ،

5

 

 

 

6

O He Who has not begotten, nor has been begotten,

يَامَنْ لَمْ يَلِدْ وَلَمْ يُولَدْ،

6

 

 

 

7

and equal to Him is not any one!

وَلَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ كُفُواً أَحَدٌ،

7

 

 

 

8

Preserve me, purify me, and take away my affliction!

اعْصِمْنِي وَطَهِّرْنِي، وَاْذهِبْ بِبَلِيَّتِي.

8

 

 

 

9

HERE YOU SHOULD RECITE THE THRONE VERSE (2:255), THE TWO SURAS OF TAKING REFUGE (113-114), AND UNITY (112). THEN SAY:

[وَاقْرَأْ آيَةَ الْكُرسِيّ وَالْمُعَوِّذَتَيْنِ وَقُلْ هُوَ اللهُ أَحَدٌ وَقُلْ:]

9

 

 

 

10

O God, I ask Thee with the asking of him whose neediness is intense,

أَللَّهُمَّ إنِّيْ أَسْأَلُكَ سُؤَالَ مَنِ اشْتَدَّتْ فَاقَتُهُ،

10

 

 

 

11

whose strength is frail, whose sins are many,

وَضَعُفَتْ قُوَّتُهُ، وَكَثُرَتْ ذُنُوبُهُ،

11

 

 

 

12

the asking of one who finds no helper in his neediness,

سُؤَالَ مَنْ لاَ يَجِدُ لِفَاقَتِهِ مُغِيْثاً،

12

 

 

 

13

no strengthener in his frailty,

وَلاَ لِضَعْفِهِ مُقَوِّياً،

13

 

 

 

14

no forgiver of his sin other than Thee,

وَلاَ لِذَنْبِهِ غَافِراً غَيْرَكَ،

14

 

 

 

15

O Possessor of majesty and munificence!

يَا ذَا الْجَلاَلِ وَالإكْرَامِ.

15

 

 

 

16

I ask of Thee a work through which Thou wilt love him who works it

أَسْأَلُكَ عَمَلاً تُحِبُّ بِهِ مَنْ عَمِلَ بِهِ،

16

 

 

 

17

and a certainty by which Thou wilt profit him who is certain

وَيَقِيناً تَنْفَعُ بِهِ مَنِ اسْتَيْقَنَ بِهِ

17

 

 

 

18

with the truth of certainty concerning the execution of Thy command!

حَقَّ الْيَقِينِ فِيْ نَفَاذِ أَمْرِكَ.

18

 

 

 

19

O God, bless Muhammad and the Household of Muhammad,

أللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّد وَآلِ مُحَمَّد،

19

 

 

 

20

take my soul while it is firm in sincerity,

وَاقْبِضَ عَلَى الصِّدْقِ نَفْسِي،

20

 

 

 

21

cut off my need for this world,

وَاقْطَعْ مِنَ الدُّنْيَا حَاجَتِي،

21

 

 

 

22

make my desire for what is with Thee

وَاجْعَلْ فِيمَا عِنْدَكَ رَغْبَتِي،

22

 

 

 

23

become a yearning to meet Thee,

شَوْقاً إلَى لِقَائِكَ،

23

 

 

 

24

and give me true confidence in Thee!

وَهَبْ لِي صِدْقَ التَّوَكُّلِ عَلَيْكَ .

24

 

 

 

25

I ask of Thee the good of the writ that has been made and I seek refuge with Thee

أَسْأَلُكَ مِنْ خَيْرِ كِتَاب قَدْ خَلاَ وَأَعُوذُ بِكَ

25

 

 

 

26

from the evil of the writ that has been made.

مِنْ شَرِّ كِتَاب قَدْ خَلاَ

26

 

 

 

27

I ask of Thee the fear of The worshipers,

أَسْأَلُكَ خَوْفَ الْعَابِدِينَ لَكَ،

27

 

 

 

28

the worship of those humbly fearful of Thee,

وَعِبَادَةَ الْخَاشِعِينَ لَكَ،

28

 

 

 

29

the certainty of those who have confidence in Thee,

وَيَقِيْنَ الْمُتَوَكِّلِينَ عَلَيْكَ،

29

 

 

 

30

and the confidence of those who have faith in Thee.

وَتَوَكُّلَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ عَلَيْكَ.

30

 

 

 

31

O God, make my desire in my asking

أَللَّهُمَّ اجْعَلْ رَغْبَتِي فِي مَسْأَلَتِي

31

 

 

 

32

like the desire of Thy friends in their asking,

مِثْلَ رَغْبَةِ أَوْلِيَآئِكَ فِي مَسَائِلِهِمْ،

32

 

 

 

33

and my fear like the fear of Thy friends!

وَرَهْبَتِيْ مِثْلَ رَهْبَةِ أَوْلِيَآئِكَ،

33

 

 

 

34

Employ me in Thy good pleasure through works

وَاسْتَعْمِلْنِي فِي مَرْضَاتِكَ،

34

 

 

 

35

in which I will not leave aside anything of Thy religion

عَمَلاً لاَ أَتْرُكُ مَعَهُ شَيْئاً مِنْ دِيْنِكَ

35

 

 

 

36

fearing any of Thy creatures!

مَخَافَةَ أَحْد مِنْ خَلْقِكَ.

36

 

 

 

37

God, this is my need, so make my desire for it great,

أللَّهُمَّ هَذِهِ حَاجَتِي، فَأَعْظِمْ فِيهَا رَغْبَتِي،

37

 

 

 

38

within it make manifest my excuse, through it instil me with my argument, and by means of it make well my body!

وَأَظْهِرْ فِيهَا عُذْرِي، وَلَقِّنِي فِيهَا حُجَّتِي وَعَافِ فِيْهَا جَسَدِيْ.

38

 

 

 

39

O God, some rise in the morning having trust or hope in other than Thee.

أللَّهُمَّ مَنْ أَصْبَحَ لَهُ ثِقَةٌ أَوْ رَجَآءٌ غَيْرُكَ،

39

 

 

 

40

I rise in the morning, and Thou art my trust

فَقَدْ أَصْبَحْتُ وَأَنْتَ ثِقَتِي

40

 

 

 

41

and my hope in all affairs,

وَرَجَآئِي فِي الأُمُورِ كُلِّهَا،

41

 

 

 

42

so decree for me those which are best in outcome

فَاقْضِ لِيْ بِخَيْرِهَا عَاقِبَةً،

42

 

 

 

43

and deliver me from misguiding trials,

وَنَجِّنِيْ مِنْ مُضِلاَّتِ الْفِتَنِ،

43

 

 

 

44

O Most Merciful of the merciful!

بِرَحْمَتِكَ يَا أَرْحَمَ الرَّاحِمِينَ.

44

 

 

 

45

And God bless our chief, Muhammad the Messenger of God, the chosen,

وَصَلَّى اللهُ عَلَى سَيِّدِنَا مُحَمَّد رُسُولِ اللهِ المُصْطَفَى،

45

 

 

 

46

and his Household, the pure!

وَعَلَى آلِهِ الطَّاهِرِينَ.
