دعاء الكرب

1. لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ اللَّهُ الْعَظِيمُ الْحَلِيمُ، لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ اللَّهُ رَبُّ الْعَرْشِ الْعَظِيمِ، لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ اللَّهُ رَبُّ السَّمَوَاتِ وَرَبُّ الْأَرْضِ وَرَبُّ الْعَرْشِ الْكَرِيمِ.

   There is no god worthy of worship but Allah, the Mighty, the Forbearing. There is no god worthy of worship but Allah, Lord of the mighty Throne. There is no god worthy of worship but Allah, Lord of the heavens, Lord of the earth and Lord of the noble Throne.

2. اللَّهُمَّ رَحْمَتَكَ أَرْجُو، فَلاَ تَكِلْنِي إِلَى نَفْسِي طَرْفَةَ عَيْنٍ، وَأَصْلِحْ لِي شَأْنِي كُلَّهُ، لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ أَنْتَ.

   O Allah, it is Your mercy that I hope for: do not leave me to myself, not even for the blink of an eye, and set right all my affairs. There is no god worthy of worship but You.

3. لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ أَنْتَ سُبْحَانَكَ إِنِّي كُنْتُ مِنَ الظّالِمِينَ.

   There is no god worthy of worship but You; glory be to You, I was among the wrongdoers.

4. اللَّهُ اللَّهُ رَبِّي لاَ أُشْرِكُ بِهِ شَيْئاً.

   Allah, Allah is my Lord: I associate nothing with Him.
