Protection from anxiety, depression, and overwhelming debt

Hadith: Bukhari 2893 (Narrated by Anas ibn Malik (RA))

اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنَ الْهَمِّ وَالْحَزَنِ، وَالْعَجْزِ وَالْكَسَلِ، وَالْبُخْلِ وَالْجُبْنِ، وَضَلَعِ الدَّيْنِ وَغَلَبَةِ الرِّجَالِ

Transliteration

Allahumma inni a'udhu bika minal hammi wal hazan, wal ajzi wal kasal, wal bukhli wal jubn, wa dala'id-dayni wa ghalabatir-rijal.

English Meaning

O Allah! I seek refuge in You from anxiety and sorrow, weakness and laziness, miserliness and cowardice, the burden of debts and from being overpowered by men.

বাংলা অর্থ

হে আল্লাহ! আমি আপনার আশ্রয় নিচ্ছি দুশ্চিন্তা ও দুঃখ থেকে, অক্ষমতা ও অলসতা থেকে, কৃপণতা ও ভীরুতা থেকে, ঋণের অসহনীয় ভার ও মানুষদের দমন-পীড়ন থেকে।

Significance & Context

This linguistic structure operates on four distinct, interconnected dyads: temporal afflictions (anxiety/sorrow), operational failure (weakness/laziness), behavioral retractions (miserliness/cowardice), and socio-economic subjugation (debt/oppression). By actively vocalizing protection against these systemic constraints, the individual undergoes a cognitive reframing from victimhood to resilience.

لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ اللّٰهُ وَحْدَهُ لاَ شَرِيْكَ لَهُ، لَهُ الْمُلْكُ، وَلَهُ الْحَمْدُ، يُحْيِيْ وَيُمِيْتُ، وَهُوَ حَيٌّ لاَ يَمُوْتُ، بِيَدِهِ الْخَيْرُ، وَهُوَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيْرٌ

La ilaha illallahu wahdahu la sharika lah, lahul mulku wa lahul hamdu, yuhyi wa yumitu, wa huwa hayyul la yamut, biyadihil khayru, wa huwa ala kulli shay-in qadir.

There is no god worthy of worship but Allah alone, with no partner. His is all sovereignty and to Him belongs all praise. He gives life and causes death. He is Ever-Living and never dies. In His hand is all good and He is able to do all things.
