The Most Gentle Dua for Grief and Sadness

Lā ilāha illallāhu al-Ḥalīmu al-ʿAẓīm. Lā ilāha illallāhu Rabbul-ʿArshi al-Karīm. Lā ilāha illallāhu Rabbul-ʿArshi al-ʿAẓīm. Lā ilāha illallāhu Rabbus-samāwāti wa Rabbul-arḍi wa Rabbul-ʿArshi al-Karīm. Thumma yadʿū.

There is no god worthy of worship except Allah, the Forbearing, the Magnificent. There is no god worthy of worship except Allah, Lord of the Noble Throne. There is no god worthy of worship except Allah, Lord of the Magnificent Throne. There is no god worthy of worship except Allah, Lord of the heavens, Lord of the earth and Lord of the Noble Throne. Then one makes dua.

Lā ilāha illallāhu al-ʿAliyyu al-ʿAẓīm. Lā ilāha illallāhu al-Ḥalīmu al-Karīm. Lā ilāha illallāh. Subḥānallāhi Rabbi al-ʿArshi al-ʿAẓīm. Al-ḥamdu lillāhi Rabbi al-ʿālamīn.

There is no god worthy of worship except Allah, the Most High, the Magnificent. There is no god worthy of worship except Allah, the Forbearing, the Generous. There is no god worthy of worship except Allah. Glory be to Allah, Lord of the Magnificent Throne. All praise belongs to Allah, Lord of the worlds.

Allāhumma laka al-ḥamdu kulluhu. Allāhumma lā qābiḍa limā basaṭta, wa lā bāsiṭa limā qabaḍta, wa lā hādiya limā aḍlalta, wa lā muḍilla liman hadayta, wa lā muʿṭiya limā manaʿta, wa lā māniʿa limā aʿṭayta. Allāhumma tawaffanā muslimīna wa aḥyinā muslimīna. Allāhumma qātili al-kafarata alladhīna yukadhdhibūna rusulaka wa yaṣuddūna ʿan sabīlika, ilāha al-ḥaqq.

O Allah, all praise belongs to You. O Allah, no one can withhold what You have expanded, and no one can expand what You have withheld. No one can guide whom You allow to go astray, and no one can mislead whom You guide. No one can give what You prevent, and no one can prevent what You give. O Allah, cause us to die as Muslims and give us life as Muslims. O Allah, deal with those who deny Your messengers and block others from Your path, O God of Truth.

Al-ḥamdu lillāhi ḥamdan kathīran ṭayyiban mubārakan fīhi, mubārakan ʿalayhi kamā yuḥibbu rabbunā wa yarḍā

All praise is for Allah: abundant, pure praise, blessed in it and blessed upon it, as our Lord loves and is pleased with.

Lā ilāha illallāhu al-ʿAẓīmu al-Ḥalīm. Lā ilāha illallāhu Rabbul-ʿArshi al-ʿAẓīm. Lā ilāha illallāhu Rabbus-samāwāti wal-arḍi wa Rabbul-ʿArshi al-ʿAẓīm. Iṣrif ʿannī sharra fulān.

There is no god worthy of worship except Allah, the Magnificent, the Forbearing. There is no god worthy of worship except Allah, Lord of the Magnificent Throne. There is no god worthy of worship except Allah, Lord of the heavens and the earth and Lord of the Magnificent Throne. Avert from me the evil of so-and-so.

Allāhumma-ghfir lī dhanbī wa khaṭaʾī wa ʿamdī. Allāhumma innī astahdīka li-arshadi amrī, wa aʿūdhu bika min sharri nafsī.

O Allah, forgive my sins, my unintentional mistakes and my intentional mistakes. O Allah, I ask You to guide me to the soundest course in my affairs, and I seek refuge in You from the evil of my own soul.
