Prayers to Those Who Are Worried

When the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ was worried (due to either calamities or bad events) he would recite the following prayer:

لآَ إِلٰهَ إِلاَّ اللهُ الْعَظِيمُ الْحَلِيمُ، لآَ إِلٰهَ إِلاَّ اللهُ رَبُّ الْعَرْشِ الْعَظِيمِ لآَ إِلٰهَ إِلاَّ اللهُ رَبُّ السَّمٰوَاتِ وَرَبُّ الْأَرْضِ وَرَبُّ الْـعَـرْشِ الْكَرِيمِ لآَ إِلٰهَ إِلاَّ اللهُ الْحَلِيمُ الْكَرِيمُ لآَ إِلٰهَ إِلاَّ اللهُ رَبُّ الْعَرْشِ الْعَظِيمِ لآَ إِلٰهَ إِلاَّ اللهُ رَبُّ السَّمٰوَاتِ وَربُّ الْأَرْضِ وَرَبُّ الْعَرْشِ الْكَرِيمِ حَسْبُنَا اللهُ وَنِعْمَ الْوَكِيلُ عَلَى اللهِ تَوَكَّلْنَا

لآَ إِلٰهَ إِلاَّ اللهُ الْحَلِيمُ الْكَرِيمُ، سُبْحَانَ اللهِ رَبِّ السَّمٰوَاتِ السَّبْعِ وَرَبِّ الْعَرْشِ الْعَظِيمِ اَلْحَمْدُ لِلهِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ، اَللَّهُمَّ إِنِّيٓ أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ شَرِّ عِبَادِكَ، حَسْبُنَا اللهُ وَنِعْمَ الْوَكِيلُ، حَسْبِيَ اللهُ وَنِعْمَ الْوَكِيلُ اَللهُ اَللهُ رَبِّي لآَ أُشْرِكُ بِهِ شَيْئًا، اَللهُ اَللهُ رَبِّي لآَ أُشْرِكُ بِهِ شَيْئاً، اَللهُ اَللهُ رَبِّي لآَ أُشْرِكُ بِهِ شَيْئاً تَوَكَّلْتُ عَلَى الْحَيِّ الَّذِي لاَ يَمُوتُ

﴾اَلْحَمْدُ لِلهِ الَّذِي لَمْ يَتَّخِذْ وَلَداً وَلَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ شَرِيكٌ فِي الْمُلْكِ وَلَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ وَلِيٌّ مِنَ الذُّلِّ وَكَبِّرْهُ تَكْبِيراً﴿

اَللَّهُمَّ رَحْمَتَكَ أَرْجُو، فَلاَ تَكِلْنِي إِلٰى نَفْسِي طَرْفَةَ عَيْنٍ وَأَصْلِحْ لِي شَأْنِي كُلَّهُ لآَ إِلٰهَ إِلآَّ أَنْتَ يَا حَيُّ يَا قَيُّومُ بِرَحْمَتِكَ أَسْتَغِيثُ

“There is no deity to be worthy of worship but Allah who has magnificence and mildness. There is no deity to be worthy of worship but Allah who is the owner of the Supreme Throne. 

There is no deity but Allah who is the Lord of the Heavens, the Lord of the world, and the Lord of that throne and, then the Lord of the enormous reign. 

There is no deity but Allah who is The All-Clement (Al-Halim) and The All-Generous (Al-Karim).

There is no deity but Allah who is the owner of the Supreme Throne. 

There is no deity but Allah who is the Lord of the heavens, Lord of the world and the Lord of the Noble Throne. 

Allah is sufficient for us, and He is the best guardian. He is sufficient for me, and He is the best guardian.

There is no deity but Allah who is The All-Clement (Al-Halim) and The All-Generous (Al-Karim).

All-Glorified is the Lord of the heavens and the earth, the Lord of the Supreme Throne,19 (exalted) above all that they attribute (to Him in ignorance and falsehood).1

Praise be to Allah, the Lord of the worlds. O Allah, I seek refuge in You from the evil of Your servants. Allah is sufficient for us, and He is the best guardian. Allah is sufficient for me, and He is the best guardian.

Ya Allah! Allah is my Lord, and I do not associate anything with Him.

Ya Allah! Allah is my Lord, and I do not associate anything with Him.

I put my trust in Allah, The All-Living, who does not die.

‘Praise be to Allah, who has not taken a son, nor has He a partner in the Kingdom, nor has He been helpless, nor has He any helper.’

O Allah, I hope for Your mercy, so do not leave me alone with my carnal soul in the blink of an eye, and fix my affairs. There is no deity besides You. O Allah, The All-Living, The Self-Subsisting, I beg Your mercy for Your help.”

He would usually recite this prayer in prostration during the Prayers, and recommend his Companions to do the same.

Another prayer he would recite is as follows:

يَا حَيُّ يَا قَيُّومُ ﴿لآَ إِلٰهَ إِلآَّ أَنْتَ سُبْحَانَكَ إِنِّي كُنْتُ مِنَ الظَّالِمِينَ﴾ اَللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي عَبْدُكَ وَابْنُ عَبْدِكَ وَابْنُ أَمَتِكَ، نَاصِيَتِي بِيَدِكَ، مَاضٍ فِيَّ حُكْمُكَ، عَدْلٌ فِيَّ قَضَآؤُكَ، أَسْأَلُكَ بِكُلِّ اسْمٍ هُوَ لَكَ سَمَّيْتَ بِهِ نَفْسَكَ أَوْ أَنْزَلْتَهُ فِي كِتَابِكَ أَوْ عَلَّمْتَهُ أَحَداً مِنْ خَلْقِكَ أَوِ اسْتَأْثَرْتَ بِهِ فِي عِلْمِ الْغَيْبِ عِنْدَكَ

أَنْ تَجْعَلَ الْقُرْاٰنَ رَبِيعَ قَلْبِي وَنُورَ بَصَرِي وَجَلآَءَ حُزْنِي وَذَهَابَ هَمِّي وَغَمِّي وَلاَ حَوْلَ وَلاَ قُوَّةَ إِلاَّ بِاللهِ .ويكثر الاستغفار

O Allah, The All-Living, The Self-Subsisting! ‘There is no deity besides You. I glorify You. I have been one of the wrongdoers.’

O Allah, I am Your servant, the son of a man and a woman from Your servants, and my forelock is in Your hand. Your judgment on me is in effect, and Your judgment on me is fair. For every name from You that You name, that You send down in Your book, that You teach one of Your creatures, or that You assign to Yourself in the knowledge of the unseen.

I wish you to make the Qur’an the spring of my heart, the light of my eyes, the reliever of my sorrow, my grief and my worry. Power is only in Allah’s hands.2
