Did you know that making powerful supplications to Allah is worship? Being a Muslim is very rewarding – we pray to Allah to fulfill our every desire, and for doing so, we also receive rewards from Him. In fact, it is Allah who answers our prayers. He said in Surah Ghafir verse 60, “Call upon Me, and I will answer your prayer.” The more powerful supplications we make, the closer we become to Allah. Here are 7 powerful supplications from the Quran that you can practice daily to bring us closer to Him.

Prophetic Supplications for Hardship and Trials

I want to share the Powerful Duas that I have incorporated into my daily morning and evening adkhar that have been life-changing! I cannot imagine living without saying them, and my only regret is that I did not know them sooner. Although I always feel better about it when I remember that I can teach my children the benefits of dua, so they can incorporate it earlier than I did, alhamdulillah.

Powerful Duas are written here:

Dua #1

This dua is to safeguard us from despair, sadness, anxiety, sloth, and low iman. I make this supplication every day, unless I forget. The Prophet PBUH would consistently make this dua, and many of the Companions heard him repeat it over and over again.

I love to say this dua, especially during times when our finances are tight, I’m stressed or depressed, my iman needs a boost, and if someone is not treating me fairly. I have seen the benefit of this dua, and it is one of my absolute favorites!

اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ الْهَمِّ وَالْحُزْنِ وَالْعَجْزِ وَالْكَسَلِ وَالْبُخْلِ وَالْجُبْنِ وَضَلَعِ الدَّيْنِ وَغَلَبَةِ الرِّجَالِ

Allahumma inni a’udhu bika minal-hammi, wal-Ḥuzni wal-‘ajazi wal-kasli wal-bukhli wal-jubni wa ḍala’id-dayni wa ghalabatir-rijal.

“O Allah, I take refuge in You from anxiety and sorrow, weakness and laziness, miserliness and cowardice, the burden of debts, and from being overpowered by men.” (Bukhari)

Dua #2

This supplication, along with Dua #1, is the perfect duo for times of debt and job loss. When we face financial difficulties in our lives, we often feel anxious and worried.

I speak from experience when I say that Dua #1 and Dua #2, read daily, have helped my family through tough years of financial strain. This is how amazing the power of dua is, subhanallah!

اللّهُـمَّ اكْفِـني بِحَلالِـكَ عَنْ حَـرامِـك، وَأَغْنِـني بِفَضْـلِكَ عَمَّـنْ سِـواك

Allaahummak-finee bihalaalika ‘an haraamika wa ‘aghninee bifadhlika ‘amman siwaaka.

“O Allah, suffice me with what You have allowed instead of what You have forbidden, and make me independent of all others besides You.” (Tirmidhi)

Dua #3

This dua is one of the supplications of the distressed. The Prophet SAW advised his daughter, Fatima RA, to say it in the morning and evening.

You are asking Allah SWT not to leave you to yourself because when you put your trust in Him, your affairs will be okay. There might be occasions when you err, get carried away by your emotions, or simply be unwise; thus, you appeal to the One who never stops dealing with the world, asking not to leave you alone.

When you suffer, you need to put your trust in Allah’s mercy and be certain that He will manage all your troubles. Knowing that in itself brings me relief immediately—what’s better than that?

اللَّهُمَّ رَحْمَتَكَ أَرْجُو فَلَا تَكِلْنِي إِلَى نَفْسِي طَرْفَةَ عَيْنٍ وَأَصْلِحْ لِي شَأْنِي كُلَّهُ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَا أَنْتَ

Allahumma rahmataka arju fala takilni ila nafsi tarfata ‘aynin wa aslih li sha’ni kullahu la ilaha ila anta

“O Allah, I hope for Your mercy. Do not leave me to myself even for a blink of an eye. Correct all of my affairs for me. There is none worthy of worship except You.”

Dua #4

A beautiful dua to ask our merciful Lord to make our affairs easy. I love to say this dua as it helps me to handle the tough day-to-day tasks of parenting and the never-ending list of chores and responsibilities we do all day long.

اللّهُمَّ لا سَهْلَ إلا ما جَعَلْتَهُ سَهْلا وَأنتَ تَجْعَلُ الحَزْنَ إذا شِئْتَ سَهْلا

Allahumma la sahla illa maa ja’altahu sahlan, wa Anta taj’alu l-hazna idha shi’ta sahla.

“O Allah! There is no ease except that which You make easy, and indeed You, when You want, make difficulties easy.” – (Sahih Ibn Hibban)

Dua #5

The Prophet PBUH would say this dua when in distress. I love it because it verifies my belief that Allah is the Only One in charge and that the actions of others are only permitted by His will. I’m reminded that He Knows best why things occur and we do not.

لا إلهَ إلا اللهُ العَليمُ الحَليم لا إلهَ إلا اللهُ ربُّ العَرْشِ العَظِيْم لا إلهَ إلا اللهُ ربُّ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَرَبُّ الأَرْضِ ربُّ العَرْشِ الكَرِيْم

La ilaha illa Allahu l-Alimu l-Halim. La ilaha illa Allahu Rabbu l-Arshi l-Azim. La ilaha illa Allahu Rabbu s-samawati wa Rabbu l-ardi wa Rabbu l-Arshi l-Karim.

“There is no deity but Allah, the Knowing, the Clement. There is no deity but Allah, Lord of the Magnificent Throne. There is no deity but Allah, Lord of the heavens and Lord of the earth and Lord of the Noble Throne.” – (Bukhari)

Dua #6

The Prophet PBUH said:

“There is no one who says in the morning of every day and the evening of every night ‘In the name of Allah with Whose name nothing can harm on earth or in heaven, and He is the All-Hearing, All-Knowing)’, three times but nothing will harm him.” – (Abu Dawood)

بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الَّذِي لاَ يَضُرُّ مَعَ اسْمِهِ شَىْءٌ فِي الأَرْضِ وَلاَ فِي السَّمَاءِ وَهُوَ السَّمِيعُ الْعَلِيمُ

Bismillahil-ladhi la yadurru ma’as-mihi shai’un fil-ardi wa la fis-sama’i, wa Huwas-Sami’ul-‘Alim

“In the name of Allah with whose Name nothing on earth or in Heaven harms and He is the All-Hearing the All-Knowing.”

Dua #7

I truly adore the simplicity of this dua. It reminds me to put my trust completely in Allah and keeps my heart strong. I know that my love for Him is enough and completes me like no human love can.

This is a beautiful dua to say when someone hurts you or you are suffering from heartache because you are reminded that only Allah SWT never disappoints.

حَسْبِيَ اللَّهُ لَآ إِلَهَ إِلَّا هُوَ عَلَيْهِ تَوَكَّلْتُ وَهُوَ رَبُّ الْعَرْشِ الْعَظِيمِ

Hasbiyallaahu laa ‘ilaaha ‘illaa Huwa ‘alayhi tawakkaltu wa Huwa Rabbul- ‘Arshil -‘Adheem

“Allah is sufficient for me. There is none worthy of worship but Him. I have placed my trust in Him, He is Lord of the Majestic Throne.” (Sahih)

Dua #8

A reminder that we vulnerable beings and are only successful by the Grace of Allah SWT. Only he can take us out of our plights and make our lives better.

إِنَّا لِلَّهِ وَإِنَّا إِلَيْهِ رَاجِعُونَ، اللَّهُمَّ أْجُرْنِي فِي مُصِيبَتِي، وَأَخْلِفْ لِي خَيْراً مِنْهَا

‘Innaa lillaahi wa ‘innaa ‘ilayhi raaji’oon, Allaahumma’-jurni fee museebatee wa ‘akhliflee khayran minhaa.

“We are from Allah and unto Him we return. O Allah take me out of my plight and bring to me after it something better.”

Dua #9

Allah SWT needs none to sustain Him and He is the One who sustains all things at all times and in every way.

Saying this dua is to seek relief, assistance, and salvation from danger or distress. When the Prophet PBUH would be afflicted with a stressful trial, he would say,

يَا حَيُّ يَا قَيُّوْمُ بِرَحْمَتِكَ أَسْتَغِيْث

Ya Hayyu Ya Qayyum! Bi rahmatika astagheeth!

“O Living and Eternal Sustainer! By Your mercy I seek relief!” – (Tirmidhi)

Dua #10

I love this dua because it gives my heart peace as I am reminded that I should feel contentment from my blessings and I am asking Allah SWT to give me better than I have.

اللّهُمَّ قَنِّعْنِيْ بِمَا رَزَقْتَنِيْ ، وَبَارِكْ لِيْ فِيْهِ ، وَاخْلُفْ عَلَى كُلِّ غَائِبَةٍ بِخَيْرٍ

Allahuma qanieni bima razaqtani, wabarik li fih, wakhluf ealaa kuli ghayibat bikhayr

“O Allah, make me content with what you have provided me, send blessings for me therein, and replace for me every absent thing with something better.” – (Bukhari)
