Answer:
Dua for job
In the name of Allah, We praise Him, seek His
help and ask for His forgiveness. Whoever Allah guides none can misguide,
and whoever He allows to fall astray, none can guide them aright. We bear
witness that there is none worthy of worship but Allah Alone, and we bear
witness that Muhammad (saws) is His slave-servant and the seal of His
Messengers.
Allah Says in the Holy Quran Chapter 17 Surah
Israa verse 30:
30 Verily thy Lord doth provide sustenance in abundance for whom He
Pleaseth and He provideth in a just measure: for He doth know and regard all
His servants.
Allah Says in the Holy Quran Chapter 29 Surah
Ankabut verse 62:
62 Allah enlarges the sustenance (which He gives) to whichever of His
servants He pleases; and He (similarly) grants by (strict) measure (as He
pleases): for Allah has full knowledge of all things.
Allah Says in the Holy Quran Chapter 2 Surah
Baqarah verses 155-157:
155 Be sure We shall test you with something of fear, and hunger, some
loss in goods or lives or the fruits (of your toil), but give glad tidings to
those who patiently persevere.
156 Who say when afflicted with calamity: "To Allah we belong and
to Him is our return."
157 They are those on whom (descend) blessings from Allah and Mercy and
they are the ones that receive guidance.
Dear and Beloved Brother, it is Allah Subhanah Who
provided for all His servants as He Pleases and Wills. To some He provides in abundance, and to some
He provides in strict measure; and thus involves all mankind in a test. Your
condition is no more than a trial from your Lord, and if you are patient and
keep your full trust and belief in Him, He will provide for you from His
Abundant and Unlimited Bounties.
There is absolutely no doubt that Allah Subhanah has
Decreed a set of tests of each amongst mankind for a period of one short
transient life time on this earth. Man has
absolutely no control on the quality, quantity, or the severity of the test
bestowed and Decreed upon him by His All-Knowing, All-Wise Lord; what man does
have control over, and what each amongst mankind will be responsible for in the
Majestic Presence of his All-Just Lord is what did he do in the tests and
conditions laid upon him by His Lord.
Whether one strikes a deal which earns him millions of
dollars, or one looses everything one possesses in a split-second; both are in
a test: one to see whether he is grateful to his Lord for the favors bestowed
upon him or does he get proud and arrogant at his success, and the other to see
whether he is patient in his adversity or gets impatient and despairs of the
Lord’s infinite Mercy and Grace!
Allah Says in the Holy Quran Chapter 2 Surah
Baqarah verse 286:
286 On no soul doth Allah place a burden greater than it can bear. It gets every good that it
earns and it suffers every ill that it earns. (Pray): "Our Lord! condemn
us not if we forget or fall into error; our Lord! Lay not on us a burden like
that which Thou didst lay on those before us; Our Lord! lay not on us a burden
greater than we have strength to bear.
Blot out our sins and grant us forgiveness. Have mercy on us. Thou art our Protector; help us against those
who stand against faith."
It is nothing but the Unending Mercy and Grace of the
All-Wise, All-Knowing Lord that He does not bestow a test or a burden on anyone
more than one can bear!
Dear and Beloved Brother in Islam, there is absolutely no
doubt that your condition is no more than a test laid upon your Lord to see
what His believing slave does when put in a certain condition. Indeed, my beloved brother, accept this as
nothing more than a passing test of life, be grateful for all the favors your
Lord has provided you and your family, put your complete trust and belief in
the Power and Strength of your Lord Most Merciful, and above all be patient in
your adversity and believe with absolute conviction that your Lord is well
aware of your condition and supplicate and invoke none except Him to relieve
you of your affliction.
Sahih Al-Bukhari HadithHadith 7.565 Narrated byAbdullah
The Messenger of Allah (saws) said: “No
Muslim is afflicted with any harm, but that his sins will be annulled just as
the leaves of a tree fall down."
Suhaib ibn Sinan narrated that the Prophet
(saws) said: "How remarkable is the case of the believer! There is good for him in everything, but this
is not the case for anyone except for the believer! When the believer receives any good, he is
thankful to Allah, and gets a reward; and when some misfortune befalls him, he
endures it patiently, for which he is (also) rewarded."
Beloved Brother, be patient in the trial your Lord has
chosen for you, never ever despair or lose hope of His Unending Benevolence and
Mercy towards His believing slaves, and remain constant in your invocation and
supplication to Him and Him Alone and implore none but Him Alone to make your
trial easy for you, and relieve from you your affliction in the most honorable
and best manner.
Al-Tirmidhi Hadith 79 Narrated by Umar ibn al-Khattab
Umar heard the Prophet (saws) say: 'If you
put your faith completely in Allah, He will arrange for your sustenance in the
same way as He provides for the birds. They go out in the morning with their
stomachs empty and return filled in the evening!'
Sahih Al-Bukhari Hadith 3.281 Narrated by Anas bin Malik
I heard Allah's Messenger (saws) saying,
"whoever desires an expansion in his sustenance and age, should keep good
relations with his kith and kin."
Your
Question: ….please help me by giving some useful Duas
Some of the best supplications as taught by Allah and His
Messenger (saws) if one wishes to increase one’s provisions are as follows:
Allah Says in the Holy Quran Chapter 28 Surah
Qasas verse 24:
24 Moses prayed : "O my Lord! truly am I in (desperate) need
of any good that Thou Dost send me!"...
Hadrat Ali ibn Abi Taalib (r.a.) related that
a slave, who had agreed on terms of his freedom with his master, came to him
and said, "I cannot pay my master as I agreed in the terms of freedom, so
help me." Hadrat Ali (r.a.) said to
him, "Let me teach you the supplication that the Prophet (saws) taught me. If you say it, Allah will cause your debt to
be paid even if it be as great as a mountain.
Say, 'O Allah, make Your lawful bounties sufficient for me so as
to save me from what is unlawful, and from Your grace grant me sufficient
abundance to make me free from the need of all, except You'."
Reported by Tirmidhi.
Whatever written of Truth and benefit is only
due to Allah’s Assistance and Guidance, and whatever of error is of me. Allah Alone Knows Best and He is the Only
Source of Strength.

well wisher in Islam,
