Supplication to Make Things Easy




Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated that the prophet may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him said:
اللهم لا سهل إلا ما جعلته سهلا فأنت تجعل الحزن إذا شئت سهلا
allahumma la sahla illa maja'altahu sahla fa anta taj'alul hazna idha shi'ta sahla
O Allah nothing is easy except what you have made easy, for it is You who makes difficult things easy if you wish
Dear reader please recite this prayer before starting any thing, so that it may become easy for you by the will of Allah. Try saying it before studying, before you start your exam, before your training on any thing be it driving, learning a new skill even before starting your work in the kitchen, just any thing. May Allah make our life easy.

Also for things to be easy it is advisable to pray the prayer of al-hajah (when needing something from Allah or from any one). All you do is pray two rak'ah and then read the following dua as mentioned in the following hadith:
Al-Tirmidhi and ibn Majah narrated that Abdullah ibn abi Awfa said that the prophet may Allah's peace and blessings said: Whoever needs anything from Allah or from any one, should make ablution, wudu', and he should perfect it. Then he should pray two rak'a. After that he should praise and glorify Allah and send salutations to the prophet PBUH, then he should say:

لا إله إلا الله الحليم الكريم
la ilaha illallahu alhaleemul kareem
There is no God except Allah the Gentle and the Generous
سبحان الله رب العرش العظيم
Subhanallahi rabbil 'arshil 'adheem
Faultless is Allah the Lord of the Great Throne
الحمد لله رب العالمين
Al-hamdulillahi rabbil 'aalameen
All praise is due to Allah the Lord of the worlds
اسألك موجبات رحمتك
As'aluka mujibati rahmatika
I ask you all what brings us your mercy
وعزائم مغفرتك
wa 'azaima maghfiratika
And all what grants us your forgiveness
والغنيمة من بر والسلامة من كل إثم
wal ghaneemata min kulli birr, wassalamata min kulli ithm
And make us gain from all that is good, and save us from all that is bad
اللهم لاتدع لى ذنبا إلا غفرته
Allahumma la tada' li thanban illa ghafartah
O Allah, do not leave any of my sins without forgiveness
ولا هما إلا فرجته
wa la hamman illa farrajtah
and do not leave any of my grieves or sorrows without removing
ولا حاجة هى لك رضا إلا قضيتها
wa la hajatan hiya laka ridan illa rdaytaha
And leave nothing that I need and which it pleases You without being granted
يا أرحم الراحمين
yaa arhamarrahimeen
O You the most Merciful of all who have mercy

when you finish this supplication at the end of the two rak'a prayer, name what you want from Allah or what you want from others. then praise Allah and finish by sending salutations to the Prophet may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him (Allahumma ssally 'ala Muhammad wa 'ala aali Muhammad: May Allah's oeace and blessings be upon Mohammad PBUH and his family). All this canbbefore you say salaam and finish the prayer. But remember that we should not ask Allah something that is forbidden or something that would displease Him the Almighty.
