Duas When You Feel Overwhelmed

إِرْهَاق
"Allah does not burden a soul beyond what it can bear" (Quran 2:286). When everything feels too much, these phrases transfer the weight from your shoulders to the One who holds the heavens.

Hasbunallahu wa ni'mal wakeel
Allah is sufficient for us, and He is the best disposer of affairs
Recited by Ibrahim (AS) when cast into the fire, and by the Prophet ﷺ before Uhud. Also the dhikr of those who trust Allah's plan for the future. (Bukhari)

2. La hawla wa la quwwata illa billah

لَا حَوْلَ وَلَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللَّهِ

فَإِنَّ مَعَ الْعُسْرِ يُسْرًا إِنَّ مَعَ الْعُسْرِ يُسْرًا
Fa inna ma'al 'usri yusra, inna ma'al 'usri yusra
For indeed, with hardship will be ease. Indeed, with hardship will be ease

4. Allahumma la sahla illa ma ja'altahu sahlan, wa anta taj'alul hazna idha shi'ta sahla

اللَّهُمَّ لَا سَهْلَ إِلَّا مَا جَعَلْتَهُ سَهْلًا وَأَنْتَ تَجْعَلُ الْحَزْنَ إِذَا شِئْتَ سَهْلًا
