Question: Is there a supplication for those undergoing severe life distress?
Answer: Wa alaikum assalam wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh,
I pray that you are in the best of health and faith, insha’Allah.
“No one should wish death for any affliction that has befallen him. If he finds his situation unbearable, let him pray: ‘O Allah, grant me life if life is good for me, and grant me death if death is good for me’ (“Allahumma ahyini ma kanati al-hayatu khayran li wa tawaffani ma kanat al-wafatu khayran li)” [Muslim]
اَللَّهُمَّ أَحْيِنِيْ مَاْ كَاْنَتِ الْحَيَاةُ خَيْراً لِيْ وَتَوَفَّنِيْ مَاْ كَاْنَتِ الْوَفَاْةُ خَيْراً لِيْ
And Allah knows best.
Wassalam,
