O Prophet, say to whoever is in your hands of the captives,
"If Allah knows [any] good in your hearts, He will give you [something] better than what was taken from you, and He will forgive you; and Allah is Forgiving and Merciful."
O Prophet, say to whoever is in your hands of the captives,
"If Allah knows [any] good in your hearts, He will give you [something] better than what was taken from you, and He will forgive you; and Allah is Forgiving and Merciful."
Moses assured ˹him˺, “You will find me patient, Allah willing, and I will not disobey any of your orders.”
O believers! Patiently endure, persevere, stand on guard,1 and be mindful of Allah, so you may be successful.
When they advanced to face Goliath and his warriors, they prayed,
“Our Lord! Shower us with perseverance, make our steps firm, and give us victory over the disbelieving people.
In the Name of Allah, the Most Beneficent,
the Most Merciful.
Who is Allah?
Allah – there is no deity except Him, the Ever-Living, the Sustainer of [all] existence.
Neither drowsiness overtakes Him nor sleep.
To Him belongs whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on the earth.
Who is it that can intercede with Him except by His permission?
He knows what is [presently] before them and what will be after them,
and they encompass not a thing of His knowledge except for what He wills.
His Kursi extends over the heavens
and the earth, and their preservation tire Him not.
And He is the Most High, the Most Great.

Assalamualaikum, today I will share a dua with you that will relieve you in times of distress. It’s a short and simple dua which you can memorize in just a few minutes.
It was sufficient for Prophet Yunus (may peace be upon him) when he was trapped in the darkness alone in the belly of a whale. In the Quran it says that because he recited this Dua he was relieved of this burden.
Prophet Yunus Dua
In Arabic:
لَّآ إِلَٰهَ إِلَّآ أَنتَ سُبْحَٰنَكَ إِنِّى كُنتُ مِنَ ٱلظَّٰلِمِينَ
The full ayah goes as follows:
“And [mention] the man of the fish, when he went off in anger and thought that We would not decree [anything] upon him. And he called out within the darknesses, “There is no deity except You; exalted, are You. Indeed, I have been of the wrongdoers.” it continues on, “So We responded to him and saved him from the distress. And thus do We save the believers.”
If you’re familiar with the story of Prophet Yunus you’ll know that Prophet Yunus gave up on his people. Without the permission of Allah, he decided to leave the city of Nineveh in hopes to find a city that would more readily accept him and the message of Islam. This is why the Quran mentions “the man of the fish, when he went off in anger and thought that We would not decree [anything] upon him”.
As punishment he was kicked off and abandoned by his ship members, swallowed by a whale, and left in darkness. At this moment he cried out remembering Allah, praising Allah, admitting his faults in the matter by saying “Indeed, I have been of the wrongdoers.”
Allah seeing the genuine and sincere apology had then relieve him.
Significance of La Ilaha Illa Anta Subhanaka
This short dua also encompasses the concept of tawheed, one of the most basic tenets of Islam. By saying this dua, you are consciously and deliberately declaring that Allah (swt) is the only deity, the exalted. You then show your humility by admitting your faults and weakness.
I forget who had said this, I believe it was Hazrat Ali, but the message is still valid, the worst sin is that which a sinner takes lightly. We should be constantly repenting to Allah (swt) at any moment we are free. We are all guilty of not making the best use of our time, some are better than others but we can all improve. We should all strive to have as little idle time as possible.
This is why we should mix this heavy ayah into our diverse toolbox of duas and azkar.
The best form of dhikr is to recite Quran with an understanding of its meanings.
