The answer

A Muslim must rely on Allah, persistently and sincerely supplicate, and frequently seek forgiveness, while taking all necessary measures, having a good opinion of Allah, and avoiding despair or hastening the answer, as this might hinder the effect of the supplication. A Muslim should also know that Allah Almighty does nothing but good for His believing servant. Among the important supplications that relieve worry and pay off debt is: "O Allah, I seek refuge in You from worry and grief, and I seek refuge in You from inability and laziness, and I seek refuge in You from cowardice and miserliness, and I seek refuge in You from the burden of debt and the oppression of men." Finally, it should be noted that Allah Almighty is not Himself in every place; rather, He is established upon His Throne, and His encompassment of creation is through His knowledge and power.
