Re: Dua needed for a friend
His depression has reached the point of considering suicide and thinking about death constantly. He feels helpless and like he cannot get out of this state. He has trouble sleeping for days and when he does sleep its only for 2-3 hrs. There are alot of things going wrong in his life and he is blaming himself for it. He feels like he has not been a good son either. The thing is he cannot talk to any family members about it since he lives alone plus you know how desi families are....they dont exactly deal with this in the ideal way.
He wants a dua that he can recite to get rid of all the negative thoughts
So if you guys can both pray for him and provide any duas he can recite or ways in which he can recover it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
Ya hayu ya qayyum be rehmatika nastaghees
and
Lahola Wala Quwatta illa billah
both are specific for depression
as well as the dua of Rasul Allah that he recited :
‘Allaahumma innee ‘abduka wa ibn ‘abdika wa ibn amatika, naasiyati bi yadika, maadin fiyya hukmuka, ‘adlun fiyya qadaa’uka, as’aluka bi kulli ismin huwa laka sammayta bihi nafsaka aw anzaltahu fi kitaabika aw ‘allamtahu ahadan min khalqika aw ista’tharta bihi fi ‘ilm il-ghaybi ‘andak an taj’ala al-Qur’aana rabee’ qalbi wa noor sadri wa jalaa’a huzni wa dhahaaba hammi
(O Allaah, I am Your slave, son of Your slave, son of Your female slave, my forelock is in Your hand, Your command over me is forever executed and Your decree over me is just. I ask You by every Name belonging to You which You named Yourself with, or revealed in Your Book, or You taught to any of Your creation, or You have preserved in the knowledge of the unseen with You, that You make the Qur’aan the life of my heart and the light of my breast, and a departure for my sorrow and a release for my anxiety)’ - but Allaah will take away his sorrow and grief, and give him in their stead joy.”
(Ahmad 1/391 and Al-Albaanee declared it sahih.)
