Why Make Dua When Life Feels Hard?

Have you ever had a day where everything goes wrong?

– You wake up late
– You miss an important call
– A plan you worked hard for falls apart

In those moments, many people feel lost. But a believer remembers: Allah is always in control, and He is closer to us than our own jugular vein.

Dua is not just a ritual. It is:

A direct conversation with Allah

A way to calm your heart

A reminder that you are never truly alone

When you ask Allah to make things easy, you are saying, “Ya Allah, I cannot do this alone. I need You.”

And Allah loves when His servant turns to Him.

The Famous Dua to Make Things Easy

One of the most well-known duas for ease is the dua of Prophet Musa (Moses) عليه السلام when he was afraid to speak to Pharaoh. He turned to Allah and made this beautiful supplication:

Arabic:
“رَبِّ اشْرَحْ لِي صَدْرِي، وَيَسِّرْ لِي أَمْرِي، وَاحْلُلْ عُقْدَةً مِنْ لِسَانِي، يَفْقَهُوا قَوْلِي”

Transliteration:
“Rabbi ishrah li sadri, wa yassir li amri, wahlul ‘uqdatan min lisani, yafqahu qawli.”

Meaning in English:
“O my Lord, open my chest (grant me confidence), and make my task easy for me, and remove the knot from my tongue, so that they may understand my speech.”

This dua is very powerful and can be used in many situations, such as:

Before exams or interviews

Before an important meeting or presentation

When starting a new job, business, or project

During times of stress, anxiety, or confusion

Another Powerful Dua for Ease in Every Matter

There is also a beautiful short dua you can read often, especially when you feel overwhelmed:

Arabic:
“حَسْبِيَ اللَّهُ لَا إِلٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَ، عَلَيْهِ تَوَكَّلْتُ، وَهُوَ رَبُّ الْعَرْشِ الْعَظِيمِ”

Transliteration:
“Hasbiyallahu la ilaha illa Huwa, ‘alayhi tawakkaltu wa Huwa Rabbul-‘Arshil-‘Azim.”

Meaning:
“Allah is sufficient for me. There is no god but Him. I place my trust in Him, and He is the Lord of the Mighty Throne.”

This dua reminds your heart that:

Allah is enough for you

He is powerful over all things

Your job is to try; the result is in His Hands

How to Recite the Dua to Make Everything Easy

You don’t need anything special to make dua. You just need a sincere heart. But to make your dua stronger and more focused, try to follow these simple steps:

1. Start with Wudu (Ablution)

If possible, make wudu before you sit to make dua. Being in a state of cleanliness helps your mind and heart feel fresh and ready to connect with Allah.

2. Face the Qiblah

Try to sit facing the Qiblah. It’s not a must, but it is recommended and shows respect and focus.

3. Raise Your Hands

Raise your hands like you are asking and begging. This is a beautiful sunnah and a sign of humility.

4. Praise Allah and Send Salawat

Before asking for anything, start by:

Praising Allah (e.g., saying “Alhamdulillah”, “SubhanAllah”, “Allahu Akbar”)

Sending blessings upon the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ (e.g., “Allahumma salli ‘ala Muhammad”)

Then recite:

“Rabbi ishrah li sadri, wa yassir li amri, wahlul ‘uqdatan min lisani, yafqahu qawli.”

You can repeat it 3 times, 7 times, or more, as your heart desires.

After that, speak to Allah in your own words. Tell Him:

What you are struggling with

What you are afraid of

What you are hoping for

Be honest, even if you are confused or upset. Allah already knows what is in your heart.

Best Times to Read Dua for Ease

You can read these duas anytime, but some moments are especially powerful:

After each obligatory prayer (Fajr, Dhuhr, Asr, Maghrib, Isha)

In sujood (prostration) during salah

In the last third of the night (Tahajjud time)

On Fridays

While fasting, especially before iftar

Think of these times like “special windows” where your dua is even more likely to be accepted, by Allah’s mercy.

A Simple Example from Daily Life

Imagine you have a big exam tomorrow. You studied, but you still feel nervous. Your hands are shaking, and your mind keeps thinking, “What if I forget everything?”

Instead of just worrying, you:

Make wudu

Pray two rak’ahs of nafl (optional) salah

Raise your hands and say:

“Rabbi ishrah li sadri, wa yassir li amri…”

Then you say in your own words:
“Ya Allah, You know I tried. Please make this exam easy for me. Help me remember what I studied. Remove my fear and anxiety. Put barakah in my time and effort.”

Even before the exam starts, your heart will already feel lighter. Why? Because you placed your trust in the One who controls all things.

Does Dua Really Make Life Easier?

You might wonder, “If I make dua, will all my problems just disappear?”

Sometimes Allah removes the difficulty completely. Other times, He:

Makes you stronger than the problem

Guides you to a better solution

Teaches you patience and wisdom through the hardship

So yes, dua does make life easier — not always by changing the situation instantly, but by changing you inside the situation.

Tips to Make Your Dua More Powerful

Here are some simple ways to make your dua more heartfelt and effective:

Be sincere: Talk to Allah like you truly need Him, not like you are just repeating words.

Be consistent: Don’t stop making dua just because you don’t see results immediately.

Combine dua with effort: Make dua and also take action. Tie your camel, then trust Allah.

Avoid haram: Try to stay away from forbidden things, as sin can block blessings.

Make dua for others: When you pray for others, angels pray the same for you.
