The Dua For When Things Are Tough
(For non medium members, feel free to read this post here)
I remember confiding to my mum one day. It was around a year ago. I was struggling.
I was newly married, in a new home, with a new job. There was just so much to balance that at times it felt too much.
I confided to her about how I was finding managing the household chores, work, and the rest of it a bit of a struggle. How I just felt like everything was taking double the time and effort than I was hoping. How a recipe would say 30 minutes cooking time, but I’d be still standing in the kitchen an hour and a half later!
She laughed and told me to firstly, stop believing the prep times since they’re never right (which was just as valuable advice for me!). And then she turned to me and with the utmost conviction in her eyes, said-
‘Thasni, read this dua. This dua has always helped me.’
اللهُمَّ لا سَهْلَ إلا مَا جَعَلتَهُ سَهْلا وَ أنتَ تَجْعَلُ الحزْنَ إذا شِئْتَ سَهْلا
Allahumma la sahla illa ma ja’altahu sahla, wa ‘anta taj-alul hazna idha shi’ta sahla
