3. Dua of Prophet Yunus Alaihi Salam (pbuh)
Many people say there are lots of barriers in their life and through which they get into anxiety but you should always remember that Allah tests his believers by giving them tribulations and happiness both.
Be Patient as Allah said I’m with those who have patience and pray Salah, do Sadka (expiation), and Dua diligently as it can even change the fate of the people.
We all know that Prophet Yunus Alahi Salam was in the abdomen of the fish for 40 days but very few people know that how Prophet Yunus Alaihi Salam get back from there.
Arabic verses: “Falaulah Annahu Qaana Minal Musabbeheen Lalabe Safi Baknehi Ila Yaomil Wa Afoon”
Meaning: If he was not the paternoster (tasbeeh reciter), then he would be in the abdomen of the fish until the resurrection.
The tasbeeh or litany that Prophet Yunus (AS) recited in that tribulation:
“La Ilaaha Illaa Anta Subhaanaka Inni Quntu Minazzaa Lemeen”
Reference: Surah-Al-Anbya (21:87)
Meaning: “There is no good but you, exalted are you, Indeed, I have been of the wrongdoers.
4. Dua of 3 Men’s in Distress
You have often listened to that story in which 3 men were on travel and rain started, they found a cave to hide and suddenly a big rock fell on the doorstep of the cave.
The rock left no space from where they can come out, they tried to lift the rock but the rock was much bigger and heavy that it was not moved a bit.
Now they started praying Dua to Allah by taking the resource (waseela) of their good deeds and goodnesses (Nekiyan) which they had done in their life.
Example: Allah I had done that good deed and goodness, and on the expiation (sadqe) of that goodness, remove this rock or trouble from us and later the rock removed.
According to Hadees, the Dua which they had done was this,
“Allahumma Inqunta Ta Aalamo Anni Faantu Zaalika Ibtega Awajhika Fakhre Janna”
“O Allah I had done this work for you with the intention of Goodness, with that reason remove this rock or trouble”
5. Three Short Dua for Anxiety and Depression
Prophet Hazrat Mohammad SAW (pbuh) said Abdullah Ibne Qais should I tell you one of the treasures from the treasury of Jannat.
Hazrat Abdullah Ibne Qais said why not Ya Rasoolallah tell me, Prophet Hazrat Mohammed SAW (pbuh) said
“La Haula Wala Quwata Illa Billah“
Reference: Bukhari, No. 6384
Three types of Dua will always help in Anxiety and Depression:
- “La Haula Wala Quwata Illa Billah”
- Astagfar: “Astag Firullah Rabbi Min Qulle Zambinw Wa Atuba Alaih”
- Durood Sharif: “Allaho Rabbo Muhammadin Salla Alaihe Wasallama, Nahno Ibado Muhammadin Salla Alaihe Wasallama”
