Dua for Tranquility and Peace
اَللّٰهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنَ الْهَمِّ وَالْحَزَنِ، وَأَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنَ الْعَجْزِ وَالْكَسَلِ، وَأَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنَ الْجُبْنِ وَالْبُخْلِ، وَأَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ غَلَبَةِ الدَّيْنِ وَقَهْرِ الرِّجَالِ
Allahumma inni a'udhu bika minal-hammi wal-hazani, wa a'udhu bika minal-'ajzi wal-kasali, wa a'udhu bika minal-jubni wal-bukhli, wa a'udhu bika min ghalabatid-dayni wa qahrir-rijal.
"O Allah, I seek refuge in You from anxiety and sadness. I seek refuge in You from helplessness and laziness. I seek refuge in You from cowardice and miserliness. And I seek refuge in You from the burden of debt and from being overpowered by men."
(Sahih al-Bukhari)
Dua for Gratitude
اَللّٰهُمَّ أَعِنِّي عَلَىٰ ذِكْرِكَ وَشُكْرِكَ وَحُسْنِ عِبَادَتِكَ
Allahumma a'inni 'ala dhikrika wa shukrika wa husni 'ibadatik.
"O Allah, help me to remember You, to be grateful to You, and to worship You in the best of ways."
(Sunan Abi Dawud)
Hadith on the Believer's Affair
عَجَبًا لِأَمْرِ الْمُؤْمِنِ، إِنَّ أَمْرَهُ كُلَّهُ خَيْرٌ، وَلَيْسَ ذٰلِكَ لِأَحَدٍ إِلَّا لِلْمُؤْمِنِ، إِنْ أَصَابَتْهُ سَرَّاءُ شَكَرَ فَكَانَ خَيْرًا لَهُ، وَإِنْ أَصَابَتْهُ ضَرَّاءُ صَبَرَ فَكَانَ خَيْرًا لَهُ
'Ajaban li amril-mu'min, inna amrahu kullahu khayr, wa laysa dhalika li ahadin illa lil-mu'min. In asabathu sarra'u shakara fa kana khayran lahu, wa in asabathu darra'u sabara fa kana khayran lahu.
"Amazing is the affair of the believer, for there is good in all his affairs, and this applies to no one but the believer. If something good happens to him, he is grateful, and that is good for him. And if something bad happens to him, he is patient, and that is good for him."
(Sahih Muslim)
Hadith on Patience
مَا يُصِيبُ الْمُسْلِمَ مِنْ نَصَبٍ وَلَا وَصَبٍ وَلَا هَمٍّ وَلَا حَزَنٍ وَلَا أَذًى وَلَا غَمٍّ حَتَّىٰ الشَّوْكَةُ يُشَاكُهَا إِلَّا كَفَّرَ اللّٰهُ بِهَا مِنْ خَطَايَاهُ
Ma yusibul-muslim min nasabin wa la wasabin wa la hammin wa la hazanin wa la adhan wa la ghammin hatta ash-shawkatu yushakuha illa kaffara Allahu biha min khatayah.
"No fatigue, nor disease, nor sorrow, nor sadness, nor hurt, nor distress befalls a Muslim, even if it were a prick of a thorn, but Allah will expiate some of his sins thereby."
(Sahih al-Bukhari)
