اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ زَوَالِ نِعْمَتِكَ وَتَحَوُّلِ عَافِيَتِكَ وَفُجَاءَةِ نِقْمَتِكَ وَجَمِيعِ سَخَطِكَ
“O Allah, I seek refuge in You from the removal of Your blessings, the change of the health You granted, Your sudden punishment, and all that displeases You.” [Muslim – 4/2079]
Everything you have right now—your health, your peace, your loved ones, your ease, it’s not guaranteed.
How many people woke up one morning thinking their lives were stable, only for everything to change by nightfall? How many had wealth, strength, and security, only to watch it slip through their fingers in an instant?
This is why the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ made this powerful dua, seeking protection from four things:
- The loss of blessings because nothing in this world is permanent.
- The shift of good health because well-being can turn into suffering in a heartbeat.
- Sudden punishment because not all trials come with warning signs.
- Anything that earns Allah (SWT)’s displeasure because His anger is the greatest loss of all.
This dua is a reminder: what we have is not because we deserve it, it’s because Allah (SWT) is keeping it in place. And if He wills, it can be taken away.
So hold onto your blessings through gratitude. Protect them through obedience. Secure them through this dua.
Because the greatest disaster isn’t losing wealth, health, or comfort—it’s losing Allah (SWT)’s favor.
And those who seek His refuge? They are never left unprotected.
So make this your dua. After every prayer. Every morning. Every night. Because the ones whom Allah (SWT) helps in these three things? They have already won.
