Dua for Anxiety and Depression

Dua for Anxiety and Depression: In times of distress, anxiety, and depression, prayer and Dua can provide solace and peace. Islam offers a rich tradition of spiritual practices, and one powerful tool to combat these mental health challenges is dua. Dua, meaning “supplication” in Arabic, calls upon Allah to seek His guidance, mercy, and assistance.

Dua for Anxiety and Depression:

Dua: اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي عَبْدُكَ ابْنُ عَبْدِكَ ابْنُ أَمَتِكَ نَاصِيَتِي بِيَدِكَ، مَاضٍ فِيَّ حُكْمُكَ، عَدْلٌ فِيَّ قَضَاؤُكَ، أَسْأَلُكَ بِكُلِّ اسْمٍ هُوَ لَكَ سَمَّيْتَ بِهِ نَفْسَكَ أَوْ عَلَّمْتَهُ أَحَدًا مِنْ خَلْقِكَ أَوْ أَنْزَلْتَهُ فِي كِتَابِكَ أَوْ عَلَّمْتَهُ أَحَدًا مِنْ خَلْقِكَ أَوِ اسْتَأْثَرْتَ بِهِ فِي عِلْمِ الْغَيْبِ عِنْدَكَ أَنْ تَجْعَلَ الْقُرْآنَ رَبِيعَ قَلْبِي، وَنُورَ صَدْرِي، وَجَلَاءَ حُزْنِي، وَذَهَابَ هَمِّي

“Allahumma inni ‘abduka ibn ‘abdika ibn amatika, naasiyati biyadika, maadin fiyya hukmuka, ‘adlun fiyya qadaa’uka. As’aluka bi kulli ismin huwa laka sammayta bihi nafsaka, aw ‘allamtahu ahadan min khalqika, aw anzaltahu fi kitaabika, aw asta’tharta bihi fi ‘ilm il-ghaybi ‘indaka, an taj’al al-Qur’ana rabee’a qalbi, wa noora sadri, wa jala’a huzni, wa dhahaba hammee.”

Translation: “O Allah, I am Your servant, son of Your servant, son of Your maidservant. My forelock is in Your hand (i.e., You have total mastery over me), Your command concerning me prevails, and Your decision concerning me is just. I ask You by every name belonging to You with which You have named Yourself, or revealed in Your Book, or taught to any of Your creation, or which You have chosen to keep in the knowledge of the unseen with You, that You make the Quran the lifeblood of my heart, the light of my chest, the banisher of my sadness, and the reliever of my distress.”

This dua is a deep that beseeches Allah for relief from anxiety and depression. It acknowledges one’s servitude to Allah and the support on His guidance and mercy.
