A powerful dua for anxiety is: "Allahumma inni a'udhu bika min al-hammi wa al-huzni wa al-'ajzi wa al-kasali wa al-bukhli wa al-jubni wa dha'l-daini wa ghalabatir-rijal." This dua, meaning "O Allah, I seek refuge in You from worry, grief, incapacity, laziness, miserliness, cowardice, being burdened with debt, and being overpowered by men," is a comprehensive plea for relief from various anxieties.
Here are some additional duas that you can recite during times of anxiety:
- "Hasbiyallahu la ilaha illa huwa alayhi tawakkaltu wa huwa Rabbul 'arshil 'azim." (This supplication appears in the Quran and means "Sufficient for me is Allah; there is no deity except Him. Upon Him, I have relied, and He is the Lord of the Great Throne.")
- "Allahumma farrij 'anni hammi wa yassir li amri." (This means "O Allah, ease my worry and make my affairs easy.")
- "La hawla wa la quwwata illa billah." (This means "There is no power and no strength except with Allah.")
Remember that reciting these duas should be accompanied by sincere intention and a strong belief in Allah's power to ease your anxieties.
