Protection from Anxiety, Laziness, Debt and Oppression

Allahumma inni a‘udhu bika minal-hammi wal-hazan, wal-‘ajzi wal-kasal, wal-bukhli wal-jubn, wa dala‘id-dayni wa ghalabatir-rijal

O Allah, I seek refuge in You from anxiety and grief, weakness and laziness, miserliness and cowardice, the burden of debt, and being overpowered by people.

Allāhumma innī aʿūdhu bika mina-l-haram, wa-t-taraddī, wa-l-hadm, wa-l-ghamm, wa-l-ḥarīq, wa-l-gharaq, wa aʿūdhu bika ay-yatakhabbaṭaniya-sh-shayṭānu ʿinda-l-mawt wa an uqtala fī sabīlika mudbirā, wa aʿūdhu bika an amūta ladīghā.

O Allah, I seek Your protection from senility, from death by falling from a height or being crushed to death; from dying of sorrow, being burnt or drowning to death. I seek Your protection from being struck by shayṭān at the time of death and that I am killed. I seek Your protection from dying whilst I am fleeing from the battlefield. I seek Your protection from dying from a venomous sting.

Allāhumma innī ʿabduk, wa-bnu ʿabdik, wa-bnu amatik, nāṣiyatī bi-yadik, māḍin fiyya ḥukmuk, ʿadlun fiyya qaḍā’uk, as’aluka bi-kulli-smin huwa lak, sammayta bihi nafsak, aw ʿallamtahū aḥadam-min khalqik, aw anzaltahū fī Kitābik, awi-sta’tharta bihī fī ʿilmi-l-ghaybi ʿindak, an tajʿala-l-Qur’āna rabīʿa qalbī, wa nūra ṣadrī wa jalā’a ḥuznī, wa dhahāba hammī.

O Allah, I am Your slave and the son of Your male slave and the son of Your female slave. My forehead is in Your Hand (i.e. you have control over me). I am subject to Your judgement and Your decree concerning me is just. I ask You – by every name that is Yours, by which You have named Yourself, or taught any one of Your creation, or revealed in Your Book, or kept unto Yourself in the knowledge of the unseen that is with You – to make the Qur’ān the spring of my heart, the light of my chest, the banisher of my grief and the reliever of my anxiety.

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 Rabba Jabrā’īla wa Mīkā’īla wa Rabba Isrāfīl, aʿūdhu bika min ḥarri-n-Nār, wa min ʿadhābil-qabr.

O Allah, Lord of Jabrā’īl and Mīkā’īl, and the Lord of Isrāfīl, I seek Your protection from the heat of the Hell-fire and from the punishment of the grave.

Allāhumma innī aʿūdhu bika min ḍīqi-d-dunyā wa ḍīqi yawmi-l-qiyāmah.

O Allah, I seek Your protection from the anguish of the world and the anguish of the Day of Judgement.
