Islamic Ruling & Answer

Verified

Walekumussalam,

Don’t worry, Allah’s mercy is the greatest. If your faith and intention are pure, repent, remember Allah, and make dua, Allah will grant you peace in the Hereafter. Recite Ayat al-Kursi, Surah Al-Ikhlas, Al-Falaq, and An-Naas daily, and say SubhanAllah 33, Alhamdulillah 33, Allahu Akbar 34 every morning and evening. Also, keep this short prayer in mind:

اللّهُمّ إني أعوذ بك من الهَمّ والحَزَن، وأعوذ بك من العَجز والكَسَل، وأعوذ بك من الجُبن والبُخل، وأعوذ بك من غَلَبَة الدَّين وقَهر الرجال

Be patient in times of hardship and fear, trust in Allah, and your heart will find peace while your fear will lessen.
