Distressed

O Allah, I ask You for well-being in this world and the next. O Allah, I ask You for pardon and well-being in my religion, my worldly life, my family and my wealth. O Allah, cover my faults and calm my fears. O Allah, protect me from in front of me, from behind me, from my right, from my left and from above me; and I seek refuge in Your greatness from being struck down unseen from beneath me.

Allāhumma innī asʾaluka-l-ʿāfiyata fi-d-dunyā wa-l-ākhira. Allāhumma innī asʾaluka-l-ʿafwa wa-l-ʿāfiyata fī dīnī wa-dunyāya wa-ahlī wa-mālī. Allāhumma-stur ʿawrātī wa-āmin rawʿātī. Allāhumma-ḥfaẓnī min bayni yadayya wa-min khalfī wa-ʿan yamīnī wa-ʿan shimālī wa-min fawqī, wa-aʿūdhu bi-ʿaẓamatika an ughtāla min taḥtī.

Allah is enough for me. There is no god but Him. In Him I have placed my trust, and He is the Lord of the mighty Throne.

In the name of Allah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful. Praise is for Allah, Lord of the worlds, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful, Master of the Day of Recompense. You alone we worship, and You alone we ask for help. Guide us to the straight path, the path of those You have favoured, not of those who earned anger, nor of those who went astray.

O Allah, I am Your servant, the son of Your servant, the son of Your maidservant. My forelock is in Your hand; Your ruling concerning me is carried out, and Your decree about me is just. I ask You by every name that is Yours, by which You named Yourself, or taught to any of Your creation, or sent down in Your Book, or kept to Yourself in the knowledge of the unseen with You: make the Qur’an the spring of my heart, the light of my chest, the lifting of my sorrow and the departure of my worry.
