    Prophet (SAW)’s Prayers

    When in any difficult
    Recite:
    اللَّهُمَّ رَحْمَتَكَ أَرْجُو فَلَا تَكِلْنِي إِلَى نَفْسِي طَرْفَةَ عَيْنٍ وَأَصْلِحْ شَأْنِي كُلَّهُ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ
    “O Allah, I hope for Your mercy, do not leave me for even the duration of an eye blink (duration) and correct my total condition. Besides You there is none worthy of worship”.

    (Hisnul Hasin)
    Alternate dua
    حَسْبُنَا اللَّهُ وَنِعْمَ الْوَكِيلُ
    “Allah is sufficient for us and He is the Best Guardian”.

    (Quran, Surah Al-Imraan)
    Alternatively recite
    اللَّهُ اللَّهُ رَبِّي لَا أُشْرِكُ بِهِ شَيْئَاً
    “Allah is my Lord, I do not ascribe anything unto Him”.

    (Hisnul Hasin from Abu Dawood)
    or recite
    يَا حَيُّ يَا قَيُّومُ بِرَحْمَتِكَ أَسْتَغِيثُ
    “O Alive and everlasting One, I beseech You by Your mercy”.

    (Mustadrak Hakim)
    لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ سُبْحَانَكَ إِنِّي كُنْتُ مِنَ الظَّالِمِينَ
    “O Allah, there is none worthy of worship besides You. You are Pure, definitely I have oppressed my soul by sinning”.
    The Qur’an states that these words were recited when Yunus (A.S.) called upon Allah from the belly of the fish. Prophet Mohammad (S.A.W.) stated in a hadith that when any Muslim makes this dua via these words to Allah, then Allah surely accepts his duas.

    (Tirmidhi etc)
    It is stated in a hadith that
    لَا حَوْلَ وَلَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللَّهِ

    (Baihaqi in Dawatul Kubra)
    It means that these words are so beneficial and useful that big/great grievances, depression and sorrow are easily removed in its stride.
    Abdullah bin Abbas (R.A.) narrates that Prophet Mohammad (S.A.W.) stated that if a person constantly makes “Astaghfar”, then Allah removes every difficulty, frees him from every sorrow and makes a means for him to receive sustencance from places that he never thought of.

  2. Jowita Bydlowska is the author of Drunk Mom, a memoir. This is the first in a series of columns on mental health.

    I’m writing this because I don’t want to die: Jowita Bydlowska on shame and mental illness
    “If you don’t get help, your shame might kill you. Mental-health illness is deadlier than a car crash,” writes the Toronto author.
    To me, admitting that I have bipolar II (and alcoholism) is like saying I am capable of that kind of exploit.
    On the average there are 2,500 motor-vehicle-related deaths a year, but “almost 4,000 Canadians die by suicide,” according to CAMH. Furthermore, “About 230,000 Ontarians report having seriously contemplated suicide in 2013. Among Ontarians aged 25 to 34, one of every eight deaths is related to opioid use.”
    There are 6,700 deaths each year resulting from alcohol.

    You do not bear any shame!
