2 min readAlso available in العربية

There are authentic supplications narrated from the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, for dispelling worries and settling debts, among them: 1. "O Allah, I am Your servant, son of Your servant, son of Your female servant. My forelock is in Your hand. Your judgment upon me is effective, and Your decree concerning me is just. I ask You by every Name belonging to You, which You have named Yourself with, or taught to anyone of Your creation, or revealed in Your Book, or kept to Yourself in the knowledge of the unseen, to make the Qur'an the spring of my heart, the light of my chest, the dispeller of my sadness, and the remover of my worry." 2. When going to sleep: "O Allah, Lord of the heavens, Lord of the earth, and Lord of the Great Throne; our Lord and the Lord of everything; Splitter of the seed and the date-stone; Revealer of the Torah, the Injeel, and the Furqan (Qur'an). I seek refuge in You from the evil of every creature You are holding by its forelock. O Allah, You are the First, so there is nothing before You; and You are the Last, so there is nothing after You; and You are the Manifest, so there is nothing above You; and You are the Inner, so there is nothing beyond You. Settle our debts and enrich us from poverty." 3. "O Allah, suffice me with Your lawful provisions against Your forbidden ones, and enrich me with Your bounty, keeping me independent of anyone else." 4. "O Allah, Possessor of the Kingdom, You give the kingdom to whom You will, and You take the kingdom from whom You will. You honor whom You will, and You abase whom You will. In Your hand is all good. Indeed, You are over all things competent. The Most Merciful of this world and the Hereafter, and their Bestower of mercy. You give them to whom You will, and You withhold them from whom You will. Have mercy on me, a mercy by which You make me independent of the mercy of anyone else."

Additionally, frequent seeking of forgiveness (Istighfar) is a great means of attaining sustenance, as Allah Almighty says: "And I said, 'Ask forgiveness of your Lord. Indeed, He is ever Forgiving. He will send [rain from] the sky upon you in [abundance] and give you increase in wealth and [children] and make for you gardens and make for you rivers.'" (Surah Nuh, 10-12). It is not permissible to specify a certain number for these supplications; the principle concerning remembrances and deeds is to adhere strictly to what has been mentioned in the Shariah.
