Supplications to remove depression


And it was reported that Asmaa’ bint Umays (may Allah be pleased with her) said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said to me: “Shall I not teach you some words to say when you feel distressed?

Allah, Allah, Rabi laa ushriku bihi shay’an Allah, Allah, is my Lord, I do not associate anything with Him
It was reported from Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) used to say, when something upset him:

Yaa Hayyu yaa Qayyoom, bi Rahmatika astagheeth O Ever-Living One, O Everlasting One, by Your mercy I seek help
It was reported from Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) used to say, when he felt distressed:


La ilaaha ill-Allaah al-‘Azeem ul-Haleem, Laa ilaaha ill-Allaah Rabb il-‘arsh il-‘azeem, Laa ilaaha ill-Allaah Rabb is-samawaati wa Rabb il-ard wa Rabb il-‘arsh il-kareem
There is no deity worthy of worship except Allah, the All-Mighty, the Forbearing; there is no deity worthy of worship except Allah, the Lord of the Mighty Throne; there is no deity worthy of worship except Allah, Lord of the heavens, Lord of the earth and Lord of the noble Throne
It was reported from Abdullah ibn Masood (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: “No person suffers any anxiety or grief, and says:


‘Allaahumma innee ‘abduka wa ibn ‘abdika wa ibn amatika, naasiyati bi yadika, maadin fiyya hukmuka, ‘adlun fiyya qadaa’uka, as’aluka bi kulli ismin huwa laka sammayta bihi nafsaka aw anzaltahu fi kitaabika aw ‘allamtahu ahadan min khalqika aw ista’tharta bihi fi ‘ilm il-ghaybi ‘andak an taj’ala al-Qur’aana rabee’ qalbi wa noor sadri wa jalaa’a huzni wa dhahaaba hammi
O Allah, I am Your slave, son of Your slave, son of Your female slave, my forelock is in Your hand, Your command over me is forever executed and Your decree over me is just. I ask You by every Name belonging to You which You named Yourself with, or revealed in Your Book, or You taught to any of Your creation, or You have preserved in the knowledge of the unseen with You, that You make the Quran the life of my heart and the light of my breast, and a departure for my sorrow and a release for my anxiety
- Except that Allah will take away his sorrow and grief, and replace it with happiness.
