Dua in Distress

4 adhkar in their Arabic wording from Hisn al-Muslim, with their English meaning.

بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ

Bismillahir-rahmanir-raheem

Each dua: the Arabic, then a transliteration to help you say it aloud, then its meaning.

  1. ((لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ اللَّهُ الْعَظِيمُ الْحَلِيمُ، لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ اللَّهُ رَبُّ الْعَرْشِ الْعَظِيمِ، لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ اللَّهُ رَبُّ السَّمَوَاتِ وَرَبُّ الْأَرْضِ وَرَبُّ الْعَرْشِ الْكَرِيمِ)).

    La ilaha illallahul-'azeemul-haleem, la ilaha illallahu rabbul-'arshil-'azeem, la ilaha illallahu rabbus-samawati warabbul-ardi warabbul-'arshil-kareem.

    (None has the right to be worshipped except Allah Forbearing. None has the right to be worshipped except Allah, Lord of the magnificent throne. None has the right to be worshipped except Allah, Lord of the heavens, Lord of the Earth and Lord of the noble throne.)

    once

  2. ((اللَّهُمَّ رَحْمَتَكَ أَرْجُو، فَلاَ تَكِلْنِي إِلَى نَفْسِي طَرْفَةَ عَيْنٍ، وَأَصْلِحْ لِي شَأْنِي كُلَّهُ، لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ أَنْتَ)).

    Allahumma rahmataka arjoo, fala takilnee ila nafsee tarfata 'ayn, wa aslih lee sha'nee kullah, la ilaha illa ant.

    (O Allah, it is Your mercy that I hope for, so do not leave me in charge of my affairs even for a blink of an eye and rectify for me all of my affairs.None has the right to be worshipped except You.)

    once

  3. ((لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ أَنْتَ سُبْحَانَكَ إِنِّي كُنْتُ مِنَ الظّالِمِينَ)).

    La ilaha illa anta subhanaka innee kuntu minaz-zalimeen.

    (None has the right to be worshipped except You. How perfect You are, verily I was among the wrong-doers.)

The transliteration is generated by Waqtazan from the voweled Arabic as a reading aid — the Arabic and the recitation remain the reference. Virtues are quoted only from authentic hadith (al-Bukhari, Muslim, or graded sahih/hasan by al-Albani). Recitations: hisnmuslim.com.
