The answer

Supplication (Du'a) is a great act of worship that removes harm, lifts affliction, and reassures hearts. There are specific supplications, proven in the , that remove worry, relieve distress, and repel whispers (waswasa), including:

1. "Allahumma inni 'abduka..." (O Allah, I am Your servant...): This removes anxiety and sorrow and replaces them with joy. 2. "Allahumma rahmataka arju..." (O Allah, I hope for Your mercy...): Supplications of the distressed. 3. "La ilaha illa Allah al-'Azim al-Halim..." (There is no god but Allah, the Most Great, the Most Forbearing...): The Prophet's supplication during distress. 4. "Allahumma inni a'udhu bika min al-hammi wal-hazan..." (O Allah, I seek refuge in You from worry and sorrow...): The Prophet used to recite this frequently to seek refuge from worry and sorrow. 5. "A'udhu billahi min ash-shaytanir-rajim" (I seek refuge in Allah from the accursed Shaytan): This repels Shaytan and his whispers.

One can refer to books of remembrance like "Hisn al-Muslim" for more.
