Invoking Allah in Times of Distress

SUMMARY: The Prophet ﷺ used to invoke Allah in times of distress, reciting a specific prayer.

Narrated Ibn 'Abbas: The Prophet used to invoke Allah at the time of distress, saying, "La ilaha illal-lahu Al-'Azim, al- Halim, La ilaha illal-lahu Rabbu-s-samawati wal-ard wa Rabbu-l-arsh il-azim".
حَدَّثَنَا مُسْلِمُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامٌ، حَدَّثَنَا قَتَادَةُ، عَنْ أَبِي الْعَالِيَةِ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ ـ رضى الله عنهما ـ قَالَ كَانَ النَّبِيُّ يَدْعُو عِنْدَ الْكَرْبِ ‏ "‏ لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ اللَّهُ الْعَظِيمُ الْحَلِيمُ، لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ اللَّهُ رَبُّ السَّمَوَاتِ وَالأَرْضِ، رَبُّ الْعَرْشِ الْعَظِيمِ

QUICK LESSONS:
Invoke Allah sincerely with humility during difficult times .

EXPLANATIONS:
In times of distress, the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) would recite a special prayer to Allah. This prayer is known as du’a and it is an important part of Islamic faith. It is believed that when one invokes Allah with sincerity and humility, He will answer their prayers and provide them with relief from their troubles. The exact words of the du’a are “La ilaha illal-lahu Al-'Azim, al- Halim, La ilaha illal-lahu Rabbu-s-samawati wal-ard wa Rabbu-l-arsh il-azim” which translates to “There is no god but God Almighty and Forbearing; there is no god but God Lord of Heavens and Earth and Lord of the Mighty Throne”. This du’a serves as a reminder that only God has the power to help us in our time of need. It also encourages us to turn towards Him for guidance during difficult times instead of relying on our own strength or resources alone.
