FEELING DISTRESS?? READ THIS, INSHALLAH IT'LL HELP
Qur'an: 2:153 O ye who believe! seek help with patient perseverance and prayer; for Allah is with those who patiently persevere.
Life has both ups and downs. If you are in a down turn, Allah gives you two tools by which you can stay strong: being patient and focusing on your Salah. Thereward: Allah will be with you!
At times of distress the Messenger of Allah (saw – may the peace & blessings of Allah be upon him) would say:
"Laa ilaa ha il lal laah al-a'theem al-ha' leem, laa ilaa ha il lal laah rabbul arshil-atheem, laa ilaa ha il lal laah rab bus-sa maa waa ti wa rab bul-ardi wa rab bul-arshil-kareem" (Bukhari and Muslim)
It is reported of the Prophet (SAW) that if something distressed him he would say:
"Ya hayyu ya qay yoom, bi-rah matika as tagheeth" (At Tirmidhi)
The English meaning is: O' Ever Living, O Sustainer, in your Mercy I plead for rescue (help, aid, assistance).
Abu Bakr (RA – may Allah be pleased with him) stated that the Messenger of Allah (SAW) said "The supplications of the distressed are:
"Allah humma ra'hma taka ar joo, fa laa ta kil nee ilaa naf see tar fa ta a’yn, wa as li’h lee sha nee kul lah, laa ilaa ha il laa ant" (Abu Dawud))
The English meaning is: O' my Allah it is your Mercy that I beseech, so do not entrust me to myself for even a twinkle of an eye, and correct for me all my affairs, there is no ilah other than You.
