When distressed

 

Dua for Strength When You Feel Weak or Drained

Some days you wake up already tired.

Your body feels heavy, emotions feel stretched, and even simple tasks feel overwhelming.

In those moments, the Prophet ﷺ taught us a powerful remembrance that fills the heart with renewed strength and reliance on Allah.

Arabic:

يَا حَيُّ يَا قَيُّومُ

بِرَحْمَتِكَ أَسْتَغِيثُ

Transliteration:

Yā Ḥayyu Yā Qayyūm,

bi raḥmatika astaghīth.

Translation:

“O Ever-Living, O Sustainer,

by Your mercy I seek help.”

Reference:

Authentic — reported from the Prophet ﷺ (Tirmidhi, graded Sahih)

Reflection:

This short dua is like a spiritual lifeline.

It reminds you that you’re not running on your own strength — you are supported by the One who never tires, never sleeps, and never abandons His servants.
