Prayers to Recite During Times of Financial Difficulty
There are prayers that those experiencing financial hardship can recite amidst the difficulties of daily life, seeking solace and assistance. A person facing the difficulty of sustenance can say the following when leaving their home without restriction:
“In the name of Allah, I seek protection for my soul, my wealth, and my religion. O Lord! Make me content with provision. Bless what is destined for me so that I may reach a state where I do not desire the hastening of what is delayed, nor the delaying of what is hastened.”
(Ali al-Muttaqi, no: 9323)
Another prayer to recite when facing challenging situations is as follows. It can be particularly beneficial when dealing with stingy and envious individuals, unjust rulers, or problematic debtors:
“O Lord! You are the absolute conqueror and the absolutely great, and I am Your weak and helpless servant. All power and strength belong to You alone. O Lord! Just as You subjugated Pharaoh to Moses, subjugate so-and-so to me, and just as You softened iron in David’s hand, soften his heart towards me. He cannot speak without Your permission, and his nape and heart are within Your grasp of power. Your essence is praised, O Most Merciful of the merciful!”
(Ali al-Muttaqi, no: 16815)
