Du’a to be recited at the time of calamity

According to the schedule of Dawat-e-Islami’s weekly Sunnah Inspired Ijtima’, today we will learn ‘The Du’a to be recited at the time of calamity.’ The Du’a is as follows:

اِنَّالِلّٰہِ وَاِنَّآ اِلَیْہِ رَاجِعُوْنَ،اَللّٰھُمَّ اْجُرْنِیْ فِیْ مُصِیْبَتِیْ وَاَخْلِفْ لِیْ خَیْرًا مِّنْھَا

(Muslim, p. 356, Hadith 2127)

Translation: Indeed, we belong to Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ and indeed, we shall return to Him. O Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ! Grant me reward in my calamity and grant me better than it. (Madani Panj Surah, p. 222)
