-
"Allahumma inni a'udhu bika min al-hammi wal-hazn, wa a'udhu bika min al-'ajzi wal-kasal, wa a'udhu bika min al-jubni wal-bukhul, wa a'udhu bika min ghalabatid-daini wa qahri al-rijal."
This dua seeks refuge from worry, sadness, weakness, laziness, cowardice, stinginess, overwhelming debt, and oppression by people. -

This dua expresses reliance on Allah, acknowledging Him as the only true God and placing trust in His guidance. -
"La hawla wa la quwwata illa billahil-'aliyyil-'azim."
This dua means "There is no power or strength except with Allah, the Most High, the Most Great." It reminds us that true strength comes from Allah. -
"Rabbanā innaka anta al-ghaniyyu wa nahnu al-fuqarā', faghfir lana wa arhamna wa antakhal-khairul-rahimīn."
