Dua Of The Week: Dua To Overcome Anxiety, Grief And Debts

In a day and age of uncertainty, anxiety and debts, this Prophetic dua promises to overcome them. When the Prophet (peace be upon him) taught these words to a companion overwhelmed due to anxiety and debt, he said this dua removed his anxiety and allowed him to be debt-free. This dua is also a remedy for sadness, cowardness, laziness and stinginess and being overpowered by others.

اللَّهُمَّ إنِّي أعُوذُ بكَ مِنَ الهَمِّ والحَزَنِ، والعَجْزِ والكَسَلِ، والبُخْلِ والجُبْنِ، وضَلَعِ الدَّيْنِ، وغَلَبَةِ الرِّجَالِ 

Allahumma inni a’oo-zu bika mi-nal-ham-mi wal-hazn, wa a’oo-zu bika mi-nal ‘aj-zi wal-ka-sal, wa a’oo-zu bika mi-nal jub-ni wal-bukhl, wa a’oo-zu bika min gaa-la-ba tid-daynee wa khah-rir-ri-jaal.

“O, Allah! I seek refuge with You from worry and grief, from incapacity and laziness, from cowardice and miserliness, from being heavily in debt and from being overpowered by (other) men.”
