repeat it over and over.


Allahumma inni audhubika minal hammi wal hazan, wal ajzi wal kasal,
wal bukhli wal jubn, wa dhalaid-dayni wa ghalabatir rijaal
O Allah! I seek refuge in You from grief and sadness, from weakness and

by debt and from being overpowered by men.

sha'ni kullahu la ilaha ila anta
O Allah, it is your mercy that I hope for, so do not leave me in charge of my affairs
even for a blink of an eye, and rectify for me all of my affairs. None has the right to
be worshiped except you.
