Khuṭbah: Coping With Stress | Shaykh Dr. Yasir Qadhi 

The three Duaas are: Duaa-1: يَا حَيُّ يَا قَيُّومُ بِرَحْمَتِكَ أَسْتَغِيثُ، وأَصْلِحْ لي شَأْنِي كُلَّهُ وَلَا تَكِلْنِي إِلَى نَفْسِي طَرْفَةَ عَيْنٍ أبدا [Yaa Hayyu Yaa Qayyoom birahmatika astagheeth, ass-lih Lee Shahaani kullaahu, wa laa Takillni ila nafsee Tarfataa Ayyin abada.] O the Ever-Lasting, O the Sustainer and Protector of all that exists. I seek aid through Your Mercy; correct for me all my matters and do not entrust me to my own self even for the blink of an eye, ever. Duaa-2: اللَّهُمَّ لاَ سَهْلَ إِلاَّ مَا جَعَلْتَهُ سَهْلاً وَ أَنْتَ تَجْعَلُ الْحَزَنَ إِذَا شِئْتَ سَهْل [Allâhumma lâ sahla illâ mâ ja‘altahu sahlâ wa anta taj‘alu al-hazana idhâ shi’ta sahlâ.] Oh Allah! Nothing is easy except what You have made easy. If You wish, You can make the difficult easy Duaa-3: اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي عَبْدُكَ ابْنُ عَبْدِكَ ابْنُ أَمَتِكَ نَاصِيَتِي بِيَدِكَ ، مَاضٍ فِيَّ حُكْمُكَ ، عَدْلٌ فِيَّ قَضَاءُكَ أَسْأَلُكَ بِكُلِّ اسْمٍ هُوَ لَكَ سَمَّيْتَ بِهِ نَفْسَكَ أَوْ أَنْزَلْتَهُ فِي كِتَابِكَ ، أَوْ عَلَّمْتَهُ أَحَدًا مِنْ خَلْقِكَ أَوِ اسْتَأْثَرْتَ بِهِ فِي عِلْمِ الْغَيْبِ عِنْدَكَ ، أَنْ تَجْعَلَ الْقُرْآنَ رَبِيعَ قَلْبِي ، وَنُورَ صَدْرِي ، وَجَلاءَ حُزْنِي ، وذَهَابَ هَمِّي [Allaahumma innee ‛abduk-abnu-‛abdik-abnu-amatik, naaṣiyatee biyadik, maaḍin fiyya ḥukmuk, ‛adlun fiyya qaḍaa’uk, as’aluka bi kull-ismin huwa lak, sammayta bihi nafsak, aw anzaltahu fee kitaabik, aw ‛allamtahu aḥadan min khalqik, awis-ta’tharta bihi fee ‛ilmil-ghaybi ‛indak, an taj‛al-al-quraana rabee‛a qalbee, wa noora ṣadree, wa jalaa’a ḥuznee, wa dhahaaba hammee] O Allah, I am Your slave, son of Your slave, son of Your handmaid, my forelock is in Your hand (i.e. You have total mastery over me), 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 Qur'an the life of my heart and the light of my bosom, and a departure for my sorrow and a release for my anxiety.

Beautiful lesson Ma Shaa Allah

I feel like this khotbah is specifically for me today. My husband and I have been experiencing extreme stress these past couple days due to financial issues due to consequences of the pandemic. I've been trying so hard to cope but it's been so painful. Just listening to this khotbah has brought ease. I will write the du'a and use them, insha'Allah. Please pray for us and all of those experiencing work, financial and housing issues due to this pandemic, and for those who have experienced any kind of loss, or worrying about potential loss. May Allah bring us all relief from our stressors and bring us all great peace.

I do have struggles with anxiety and stress; subhanallah for this video.

Thank you brother Yasir for another great input ! May ALLAH SWT reward you. Ameen.

Nobody likes stress but we can always learn to manage it. Nice work!

Al hamde li Allah. الحمد لله

Ma shaa Allah.... May Allah forgive us and shower his blessings upon us all...

Ma Sha Allah. That voice in the beginning stunned me 😂

Thank You DR. (YQ.)

اللهم أحسن عاقبتنا في الأمور كلها، وأجرنا من خزي الدنيا وعذاب الآخرة .

Jazakallah khair sheikh Yasir for a very beautiful and iman lifting Kuthba and beautiful Adhan also from sheikh Sujjad, may Allah preserve you and protect you and your family and grant you Jannatul Firdose. Ameen

May Allah make it easy and possibly for All

Al Quran has a lot of narratives about the stress and anxiety experienced by noble role models. The Mother of Prophet Musa AS. The Mother of Prophet Isa AS. Prophet Ya'qub AS. Tools to battle against stress. Our belief in predestination. Understanding qadar to console the past. Nothing is going to happen to me except by the decree of Allah SWT. Anxiety and stress is a means in attaining Allah's reward. Be patient and expect Allah's reward for the pain, anguish, grief, worry. Seek relief and peace, with Allah and through Allah SWT. Du'as.

Thank you brother.

Subhan Allah jazak Allah khair brother .

Very inspiring Khutbah

Three important way to overcome stress 1.Stress, grief and anxiety is the part and parcel of our life.Not just being a Muslim but being a human. 2.Qadr helps us overcoming the stress. Believe in qadr or predestination. Everything happens in the will of Allah and the decree of Allah. Nothing is going to happen to me except what Allah decreed to happen to me.He is my Maola. 3. There is ajr or reward linked to that stress.

Plz make dua for me.

Assalamu alaikum, is the stock market halal?

Sheikh, it's been a while without those library chats. A lecture about Ibn Siena and Al-farabi's islamic views will be interesting.

Can someone please post a link to the three du’aa mentioned?

Assalamu alaikum

normalize seeking therapy. don't shame people with lack of eman for the same. past traumas can be debilitating

Salam, i’m searching for the verse on the people entering Janna that he used at the beginning of his speech, can anyone quote me the verse please? Thank you very much.

دعاء يا حي يا قيوم برحمتك أستغيث أصلح لي شأني كله ولا تكلني إلى نفسي طرفة عين اللهم لا سهل إلا ما جعلته سهلا وأنت تجعل الحزن إذا شئت سهلا اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي عَبْدُكَ ابْنُ عَبْدِكَ ابْنُ أَمَتِكَ نَاصِيَتِي بِيَدِكَ ، مَاضٍ فِيَّ حُكْمُكَ ، عَدْلٌ فِيَّ قَضَاءُكَ أَسْأَلُكَ بِكُلِّ اسْمٍ هُوَ لَكَ سَمَّيْتَ بِهِ نَفْسَكَ أَوْ أَنْزَلْتَهُ فِي كِتَابِكَ ، أَوْ عَلَّمْتَهُ أَحَدًا مِنْ خَلْقِكَ أَوِ اسْتَأْثَرْتَ بِهِ فِي عِلْمِ الْغَيْبِ عِنْدَكَ ، أَنْ تَجْعَلَ الْقُرْآنَ رَبِيعَ قَلْبِي ، وَنُورَ صَدْرِي ، وَجَلاءَ حُزْنِي ، وذَهَابَ هَمِّي

Quran can't teach people how to be witty. Rasoolullah (sallalahu alayhi wassallam) is the example to model. But reading hadith will not give any hint about it. Because he(sallahu alayhi wassallam) used very simple statements to change people's emotions. The real secret is in his emotional tone,facial expressions,body guestures, giving attention to people and physical health. Is the objective of your ibadah "Ya Allah, I want to be like rasoolullah" ? Interesting topic to research would be why are so many Muslims extremely good in understanding Quran but have acquired the manners(psychological and physical) of Shaitan?

Jazak'Allahu Khair Sheikh. This is the kind of sermon we need in such unprecedented times.
