Re: when you're really
^ very true...
Being one who is going through somewhat of a difficult time myself i constantly try to pray 5 times a day and pray extra nafils (2 or 4 whatever you can) before i sleep (around 1am) .. also while driving rather than listening to radio i recite durood and automatically i start my dua for the problems i am having. But yes durood and zikr of Allah even if it is to say shukar repeatedly will help your friend.
