In hard times, we should humbly beg Allah (SWT) for His comfort and protection. Allah (SWT) says: فَلَوْلَا إِذْ جَاءَهُم بَأْسُنَا تَضَرَّعُوا وَلَٰكِن قَسَتْ قُلُوبُهُمْ وَزَيَّنَ لَهُمُ الشَّيْطَانُ مَا كَانُوا يَعْمَلُونَ “
If only, when Our calamity came upon them, they humbled themselves. But their hearts hardened, and Shaytan made their deeds appear good to them” [Qur’an 6:43]
The importance of supplication to Allah cannot be overstated. The great Imam Ibn al-Qayyim said, “Dua is one of the most beneficial remedies". It is the enemy of calamity; it repels it, cures it, prevents its occurrence, and alleviates it or reduces it if it befalls. It is the weapon of the believer.”

Allahumma rahmataka arju fala takilni ila nafsi tarfata ‘aynin wa aslih li sha’ni kullahu la ilaha ila anta “O Allah, I hope for Your mercy. Do not leave me to myself even for a blink of an eye.
