Du'aa (Prayer) for Dealing with Worries About the Future

اللَّهُمَّ أَصْلِحْ لِي دِينِي الَّذِي هُوَ عِصْمَةُ أَمْرِي، وَأَصْلِحْ لِي دُنْيَايَ الَّتِي فِيهَا مَعَاشِي، وَأَصْلِحْ لِي آخِرَتِي الَّتِي فِيهَا مَعَادِي، وَاجْعَلِ الْحَيَاةَ زِيَادَةً لِي فِي كُلِّ خَيْرٍ وَاجْعَلِ الْمَوْتَ رَاحَةً لِي مِنْ كُلِّ شَرٍّ

Allaahumma aslih lee deenii al-ladhii huwa 'ismatu amrii, wa aslih lee dunyaaya al-latii fee-haa ma'aashii, wa aslih lee aakhiratii al-latii fee-haa ma'aadii, waj'alil-hayaata ziyaadatan lee fee kulli khair, waj'alil-mawta raahatan lee min kulli sharr.

O Allaah (God), set right my religion, which is the safeguard of my affairs; and set right my world, wherein is my living (livelihood); and set right my next life, to which is my return, and make life for me an increase in all good and make death a relief for me from every evil.

[Saheeh Muslim - Hadeeth No: 2720]

Morning and Evening Dhikr (Remembrance)

Radheetu billaahi Rabbaa wa bil-Islaami deenaa wa bi-Muhammadin Rasoolaa رَضِيتُ بِاللهِ رَبًّا وَبِالإِسْلاَمِ دِينًا وَبِمُحَمَّدٍ رَسُولاً.

I am content (pleased) with Allah as my Lord, with Islam as my religion, and with Muhammad, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, as my Messenger.

Du’aa (Supplication) Related to the Adhaan (The Muslim Call to Ritual Prayer)

It was narrated from Sa'd bin Abi Waqqas (RA) that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: "Whoever says, when he hears the mu’adhdhin: 'Ash-hadu alla ilaha illallah wahdahu la sharika lahu wa anna Muhammadan 'abduhu wa Rasuluhu, radhitu billahi Rabban, wa bil-Islami dinan wa bi Muhammadin Rasula أشهد أن لا إله إلّا الله وحده لاشريك له وأنّ محمّدا عبده ورسوله رضيت بالله ربّا وبالإسلام دينا وبمحمّد رسولا (I bear witness that there is none worthy of worship except Allah alone, with no partner or associate, and that Muhammad (SAWS) is His slave and Messenger; I am content with Allah as my Lord, Islam as my religion and Muhammad (SAWS) as my Messenger),' his sins will be forgiven."

Note:

Say this prayer immediately following the declaration of faith called by the mu’adhdhin (prayer caller).

Grade: Sahih (Darussalam)

English reference: Vol. 1, Book 7, Hadith 680

Arabic reference: Book 7, Hadith 687
