Du’as for Pain Relief
Pain and illnesses are a test from Allah (SWT). When facing pain, some relief can be found from making du’a to Allah.
Whether facing emotional turmoil, physical challenges or spiritual burdens, it’s important to turn to Allah in your time of need.
He promises us in the holy Qur’an:
Allah does not burden a soul beyond that it can bear.
Qur’an | Surah Baqarah | 2:286
Here are a few du’as for pain relief:
Du’a for Pain in Body
It is reported from Hadith that when feeling pain in the body, the Prophet (peace be upon him) recommended that you should put your hand on the place where you feel pain and say: Bismillah (three times). Then say seven times: I seek refuge in Allah and in His Power from the evil of what I find and of what I guard against. [Hadith | Sahih Muslim]
The du’a should be recited as follows:
A`ūdhu billāhi wa qudratihi min sharri mā ajidu wa uḥādhir
Hadith | Sahih Al-Muslim
أَعُوذُ بِاللَّهِ وَقُدْرَتِهِ مِنْ شَرِّ مَا أَجِدُ وَأُحَاذِرُ
I seek refuge in Allah and in His Power from the evil of what I find and of what I guard against.
Du’a for Pain Relief
You can recite the du’a for Shifa (healing) when needing relief from pain:
Allahumma Rabban-naasi adhhibil-ba’sa washfi Antash-Shaafi laa shifaa’a illaa shifaa’uk shifaa’an laa yughaadiru saqamaa.
Hadith | Sahih Al-Bukhari
اللَّهُمَّ رَبَّ النَّاسِ أَذْهِبِ الْبَأْسَ وَاشْفِ أَنْتَ الشَّافِي لَا شِفَاءَ إِلَّا شِفَاؤُكَ شِفَاءٌ لَا يُغَادِرُ سَقَمَا
O Allah, the Lord of mankind, remove the difficulty and bring about healing as You are the Healer. There is no healing except Your healing, a healing that will leave no ailment.
