What are the Quranic surahs that a woman from whom a sum of money was stolen should recite, especially when she feels suspicion and sadness towards her close colleagues?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

If you accuse someone of theft, you may confront him with the evidence you possess and advise him to repent and return the stolen goods, promising him concealment (of his act). If he denies it, you may take him to the Sharia court. If you do not have evidence, we do not advise resorting to the judiciary, but rather consulting trustworthy righteous colleagues to find a solution.

For lost items, the following supplication is recited: "Our Lord, surely You are the Gatherer of mankind on a Day about which there is no doubt. Indeed, Allah does not fail in His promise." Then: "O Allah, O Gatherer of mankind on a Day about which there is no doubt, gather me with my property, for You are capable of all things."

To remove worry and sorrow, one says: "O Allah, I am Your servant, son of Your servant, son of Your maidservant. My forelock is in Your hand. Your command over me is everlasting, and Your judgment concerning me is just. I ask You by every name belonging to You which You named Yourself with, or revealed in Your Book, or taught to any of Your creation, or preserved in the knowledge of the unseen with You, that You make the Great Qur'an the spring of my heart, the light of my chest, the reliever of my sorrow, and the dispeller of my worry."
