Allergies may have quite an impact on everyday life, sneezing all the time and itchy skin are one thing, but severe difficulties in breathing are quite another. Although it is accompanied by medical treatment, Muslims also rely on the effectiveness of dua (supplication) to request Allah (SWT) to grant them healing and relief. Making a dua because of an allergy is a religious means to feel better and relieved.
The Dua is:
Arabic Dua:
أَذْهِبِ الْبَأْسَ رَبَّ النَّاسِ، اشْفِ أَنْتَ الشَّافِي، لَا شِفَاءَ إِلَّا شِفَاؤُكَ، شِفَاءً لَا يُغَادِرُ سَقَمًا
English Translation:
“Remove the harm, O Lord of the people. Heal, for You are the Healer. There is no healing except Your healing – a healing that leaves no disease behind.”
This dua is recommended during any illness, including allergies, and it was taught by the Prophet ﷺ.
