Invocations and evocations for ease and success: Life, Exam, Work, Studies
بِسْمِ اللهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيم
Praise is to God the Creator of the world, the One Who exists without beginning, without end, without place, without how and does not depend on time, absolutely nothing resembles Allāh and He is the One Who hears and Who sees, whatever you may imagining God is different from it, and may the elevation in degree and the preservation of his community from what he fears for it be granted to our Master Muḥammad Al-'Amīn, the Honest, the one who called for the religion of truth, Islam the religion of all the Prophets from the first 'Adam to the last Muḥammad.
The main cause for benefiting from the secrets of these invocations and evocations is to have the belief of the Prophet Mouḥammad, namely that this world has a single Creator God - Allāh -, that He has no resemblance with His creatures in any way whatsoever, and that He sent prophets all bearers of the same message and the same religion which is Islam, from Ādam the first of humans and prophets to Mouḥammad, passing through Moūçā -Moses- and `īçā -Jesus-, may God honor them all and raise them higher in degree.
Allah ta`ālā says in the Qur'ān:
﴿ وَعَلَى اللّهِ فَلْيَتَوَكَّلِ الْمُؤْمِنُونَ ﴾
(wa `alā l-Lāhi falyatawakkali l-mou'minoūn)
Which means: “ Let the believers trust in Allāh ” [sūrat 'Ali `Imrān/122]
It is a duty to trust in God because He is the Creator of everything, be it profitable things or harmful things and everything that comes into existence. So there is nothing that brings harm and brings beneficial things in reality except Allah.
Place your trust in God, that is to say, have your heart trusting in God; thus doing permissible causes (such as studying for an exam or seeking a lawful job) does not contradict trusting God.
Allah ta`ālā says in the Qur'ān:
﴿ وَمَن يَتَّقِ اللَّهَ يَجْعَل لَّهُ مَخْرَجًا ﴿2﴾ وَيَرْزُقْه ُ مِنْ حَيْثُ لَا يَحْتَسِبُ وَمَن يَتَوَكَّلْ عَلَى اللَّهِ فَهُو َ حَسْبُهُ ﴾
(wa man yattaqi l-Lāha yaj`al lahou makhrajān, wa yarzouqhou min ḥaythou lā yaḥtasibou wa man yatawakkal `alā l-Lāhi fahouwa ḥasbouhou)
Which means: “ And he who shows piety to Allāh, He grants him a way out and grants him sustenance from which he does not expect; and he who trusts in Allāh He is enough for him ” [sūrat 'aṭ-Ṭalāq/2-3]
Thus piety is a great cause for ease and success; piety consists of fulfilling all that God has commanded as duties and avoiding all that God has forbidden as sins. See: The Importance of Learning Islam on the True Path. Islamic Sciences
Dou`ā, evocations and invocations to hope for the success of a business
In the morning before going for the relevant matter (examination, interview, etc.) one recites surat ash-Charḥ eleven times and surat al-Fātiḥah seven times with the intention of ease:
﴿1﴾ الْحَمْد ُ للّهِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ
﴿2﴾ الرَّحْمـنِ الرَّحِيمِ ﴿3﴾ مَـلِك 4﴾ ﴾ اهدِنَــــا الصِّرَاطَ المُستَقِيمَ ﴿6﴾ صِرَاطَ الَّذِينَ ﴿ 7﴾
Bismi l-Lāhi r-Raḥmāni r-Raḥīm (1) Al-ḥamdou li l-Lāhi Rabbi l-`ālamīn (2) Ar-Raḥmāni r-Raḥīm (3) Māliki yawmi d-dīn (4) 'iyyāka na`boudou wa 'iyyāka nasta`īn (5) 'Ihdina ṣ-Ṣirāṭa l-moustaqīm (6) Ṣirāṭa l-ladhīna 'an`amta `alayhim ghayri l-maghḍoūbi `alayhim wa la ḍ-Ḍāllīn (7)
﴿1﴾ أَلَمْ نَشْ
رَحْ لَكَ صَدْرَكَ ﴿2﴾ وَوَضَعْنَا عَنكَ وِزْرَكَ ﴿3﴾ الَّذِي أَن قَضَ ظَهْرَكَ ﴿4﴾ وَرَفَعْنَا لَكَ ذِكْرَكَ ﴿5﴾ فَإِنَّ مَعَ الْع ُسْرِ يُسْرًا ﴿6﴾ إِنَّ مَعَ الْعُسْرِ يُسْرًا ﴿7﴾ فَإِذَا فَرَغْ تَ ﴿8﴾ وَإِلَى رَبِّكَ فَارْغَبْ ﴿9﴾
Bismi l-Lāhi r-Raḥmāni r-Raḥīm (1) Alam nachraḥ laka ṣadrak (2) wa waḍa`nā `anka wizrak (3) Al-ladhī 'anqaḍa ḍhahrak (4) Wa rafa`nā laka dhikrak (5) Fa' inna ma`a l-`ousri yousrā (6) 'inna ma`a l-`ousri yousrā (7) Fa'idhā faraghta fanṣab (8) Wa 'ilā rabbika farghab (9)
On the way we recite the Fātiḥah and we remember God by saying:
الله الله ربّي لا أُشركُ به شيئًا
(Allāhou Allāhou rabbī lā 'ouchrikou bihi chay'ā)
Upon entering the place, we recite verse 23 of surat al-Mā'idah:
قَالَ رَجُلاَنِ مِنَ الَّذِينَ يَخَافُونَ أَنْعَمَ اللّهُ عَلَيْ هِمَا ادْخُلُواْ عَلَيْهِمُ الْبَابَ فَإِذَا دَخَلْتُمُوهُ فَإِن َّكُمْ غَالِبُونَ وَعَلَى اللّهِ فَتَوَكَّلُواْ إِن كُنتُم مُّؤْم ِنِينَ ﴿23﴾
(Qāla rajoulāni mina l-Ladhīna yakhāfoūna 'an`ama l-Lāhou `alayhimā 'oudkhouloū `alayhimou l-bāba fa'idhā dakhaltoumoūhu fa'innakum ghāliboūn wa `alā l-Lāhi fatawakkaloū 'in kountoum mou'minīn)
And we recite again:
الله الله ربّي لا أُشركُ به شيئًا
(Allāhou Allāhou rabbī lā 'ouchrikou bihi chay'ā)
And just before starting we recite the invocation:
اللَّهُمَّ لا سَهْلَ إلاّ مَا جَعَلْتَهُ سَهْلا وَإِنَّكَ تَجْعَ لُ الحَزْنَ إِذَا شِئْتَ سَهْلا
(Allāhoumma lā sahla 'illā mā ja`altahou sahlā wa 'innaka taj`alou l-ḥazna 'idhā chi'ta sahlā)
which means: “ O Allāh, only what You make easy is easy and if You want You make hard things easy ”.
And we say:
﴿... رَبِّ اشْرَحْ لِي صَدْرِي{25} عُقْدَةً مِّن لِّسَانِي {27} يَفْقَهُوا قَوْلِي {28}﴾
[soūrat Ṭāhā/25 to 28] (Rabbi chraḥ lī ṣadrī wa yassir lī 'amrī wa ḥloul `ouqdatan min liçānī yafqahoū qawlī)
Then we say “Allāhu 'Akbar” three times and “Bismi l-Lāhi r-Raḥmāni r-Raḥīm, tawakkaltou `alā l-Lāh”
All this with good pronunciation by taking the letters correctly out of their pronunciation points and with the required extensions and this is acquired by oral transmission from people of knowledge. See: The Importance of Learning the Science of Religion by Oral Transmission from Knowledgeable and Trustworthy People
The Messenger of Allah, ṣalla l-Lāhou `alayhi wa sallam said:
« Where is the water? قه »
(Man youridi l-Lāh bih khayran youfaqihou fī dīn innama l-`ilmou bi t-ta`alloum wa l-fiqhou bi t-tafaqih)
Which means: “ He for whom Allāh wants good, He facilitates the learning of religion, certainly the science of religion is by oral transmission ”, [reported by Al-Boukhāriyy].
Note: To hope to be answered for an invocation it is recommended to have the wouḍoū' the small ablution, to move towards the qiblah, to begin by praising Allāh and to invoke in favor of the Messenger (Al Hamdou li l-Lāh, Allāhoumma ṣalli wa sallim `alā sayyidinā Mouḥammad) and thus finish eating lawful food.

Multiplying istighfār, asking God for forgiveness, is a great cause for ease
The Prophet Muḥammad ṣalla l-Lāhou `alayhi wa sallam said:
« مَنْ لَزِمَ الاستِغفَارَ رَزَقَهُ اللهُ مِنْ حيثُ لا يَحتَسِبُ و فَرَّجَ كَربَهُ »
(Man lazima l-istighfār razaqahou l-Lāhou min ḥaythou lā yaḥtasibou wa farraja karbah)
Meaning: " Whoever sets out to do istighfār (regularly), Allāh grants him sustenance from a way from which he did not expect and He delivers him from his torment", [reported by Aṭ-Ṭabarāniyy].
And He also said:
“The water is in the water and the water is in the water. ه من حيث لا يحتسب”.
(Man lazima l-'istighfāra ja`ala l-Lāhou lahou min koulli ḍīqin makhraja wa min koulli hamin farajā wa razaqahou min haythou lā yaḥtassib)
Which means: “ He who strives to do (al-istighfār), regularly, God grants him a way out of every difficult situation, and He delivers him from all torment, and He grants him sustenance of a path from which he did not expect ” [Reported by Abou-Dāwoūd]
There is great good to be done (al-istighfār) at least 300 times a day, and it is even better to recite this word 300 times in the morning and 300 times in the evening.
We say with good pronunciation:
أَسْتَغْفِرُ الله....
Astaghfirou l-Lāh….. astaghfirou l-Lāh… astaghfirou l-Lāh…
Or:
رَبِّ اغْفِرْ لِي.... رَبِّ اغْفِرْ لِي.... رَبِّ اغْفِرْ لِي
Rabbi ghfir lī…. Rabbi ghfir lī…… Rabbi ghfir lī…
Fact about the benefits of al 'istighfār: Someone got married and after eleven years he had no children. He and his wife attached themselves to istighfār (asking God for forgiveness). The same month, his wife became pregnant. And the same thing happened to someone else.
There is also the fact of saying every day 100 times:
لا إله إلا اللهُ الملِكُ الحقُّ المُبِينُ
(Lā 'ilâha 'illa l-Lāhou l-Malikou l-Ḥaqqou l-Moubīn)
And also 100 times the word:
سبحان الله وبحمده
(Soubḥāna l-Lāhi wa bi ḥamdihi)
Likewise, multiplying the invocations in favor of the prophet is a great cause of ease by saying for example 100 times:
اللهم صل على محمد وعلى آله وصحبه وسلم
(Allāhoumma ṣalli `alā Mouḥammad wa `alā 'ālihi wa ṣaḥbihi wa sallim)
Causes and Secrets to Facilitate Subsistence
سُبحَانَ الله وَبِحمدِهِ هِيَ سَببٌ لِتَيسيرِ الرِّزقِ، الَّذِي the َابَ الرِّزقِ، مَنَافِعُهَا عَظِيمَةٌ.
(Soubḥāna lLāhi wa biḥamdihi hiyā sababoun litayasīri l-rizqi al-ladhī youkathirou min soubḥāna l-Lāh wa bi ḥamdihi l-Lāhou ta`ālā youyasirou lahou bāba l-rizqi manāfi`ouhā `aṭīmatoun)
It is a cause for sustenance. Whoever repeats “Soubḥāna l-Lāhi wa biḥamdih” several times, God provides him with a door to sustenance. Its benefit is great. This phrase means: God is free from imperfection, praise be to Him.
لتَيْسِير الرِّزْقِ مِائَة مَرّة (يا وَهَّاب) بعدَ صَلاة الضُّحَى.
To facilitate subsistence, we say “Yā Wahhāb” a hundred times after the prayer of Aḍ-Ḍouḥā.
بعدَ صَلاة المغرب.
To facilitate subsistence, one recites surat Al-Wāqi`ah after the Al-Maghrib prayer.
كتابة مرة لتيسير الرزق يوضع على باب الدكان لرواج البضاعة. (تُكتَبُ مَرّةً وتُحمَلُ أو تُعَلَّقُ على بابِ البَيتِ أو الدُّكّان لتَيسِير الرّزْقِ فيهَا سِرٌّ عَظِي م).
The writing of the basmalah (the phrase بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم thirty five times is useful to facilitate subsistence. It is hung on the door of the shop for the flow of goods. For this, the basmalah is written thirty five times then it is carried or hung on the door of the shop to facilitate sustenance.It contains a great and eminent secret.
وَرَدَ في الحَديث القُدسيّ: "يَا دُنيَا مَن خَدَمَنِي فَاخْدُمِيْه ِ ومَن خَدَمَكِ فأَتْعِبِيْه". ومعناه: اللهُ تعالى يُيَسّر الرّزقَ لمن اتّقَى الله واشْتَغَل بطَ اعَتِه. ومَعنى "خَدمَني" في هذا الحديث: أطَاعَني.
He arrived in the Ḥadīth qudsiyy: “O you lowly world, he who obeys Me, then be at his service, and he who is at your service then exhaust him”. This means that God facilitates the subsistence of the one who shows piety to God, and who is busy obeying him.
عن سَلّام بنِ شُرَحْبِيْلَ عن حَبَّةَ وسَوَاء ابنَي خَالدٍ the قال : "لا تَيْئَسَا مِنَ الرّزْقِ مَا تَهَزْهَزَت رُؤوسُكُما فإنّ الإ نسَانَ تَلِدُه أُمُّهُ أَحمرَ لا قِشْرَ عَلَيهِ ثم يَرزُقُهُ اللهُ عَزَّ وَجَلّ". هذا حَديثٌ صَحِيحٌ أخرَجَه أَحمَد.
According to Salām son of Chouraḥbīl, according to Ḥabbah and Sawā' both sons of Khālid may God be pleased with him, said: “We have gone to the Messenger of God, may God honor him and elevate him further in degree, who told us [meaning], “Do not despair of subsistence while you are still alive”.”
The human being, his mother gives birth to him while he is completely naked, without envelope, then God grants him his sustenance. Authentic Ḥadīth reported by Imam Aḥmad.
اللهُ اللهُ ربّي لا أُشرِكُ بهِ شَيئًا، هذه تُقرأ لإزالة الهمّ ولِ عِدَّةِ أشياءَ كتَيسِيرِ الرّزق، لأسرارٍ عَدِيدَةٍ للخَوفِ مِن الم مَرّتَين تُقرأ، وإنْ زادَ فلا بأسَ ، أمّا لغَيرِ ذلكَ ما لَهُ عَ ددٌ عشَرة أو مائة أو أكثَر حتى لو قرأَها ولو لم يَنفُخ في وَجْهِ الظّ الم .
(Allāhu Allāhu Rabbī; lā 'ouchrikou bihī chay'ā)
This phrase is recited for dispelling torments and several other reasons like facilitating sustenance. It can be recited for several secrets, such as fear of an unjust. In this case it is recited twice. If the person recites more, there is no harm. But if it is for other reasons, it can be recited without restriction by number: ten times, a hundred times, or more. It means: God, God is my Lord, I attribute no partner to Him .
ورَد حديثٌ صَحيح: "مَن لَزِمَ الاستِغفَارَ جَعَلَ اللهُ لهُ مِن كُل ّ ضِيقٍ مَخرَجًا ومِن كُلّ هَمّ فَرَجًا ورَزقَه مِن حَيثُ لا يَحتَس ِب" رواه أبو داود ، وابن ماجه ، والبيهقى عن ابن عباس ورواه أبو داود و الطبراني)
There has come to an authentic Ḥadīth: he who attaches himself to al-istighfār (as in saying Rabbi ghfir lī), God grants him a way out of all trials, deliverance from all torment and He grants him sustenance from a path to from which he did not expect to receive any. Narrated by Aboū Dāwoūd, Ibn Mājah, and Al-Bayhaqiyy according to Ibn Abbās, as do Aboū Dāwoūd and Aṭ-Ṭabarāniyy.
لمن يَشكُو الضّيقَ مِن حيث المال أكثِر مِن الاستغفار، استَغفِر ال له كلَّ يَوم ثَلاثمائة مَرّة.
For one who complains of financial difficulties, let him do al-istighfār, (astaghfirou l-Lāh) three hundred times a day. This word means: O my God, forgive me my sins .
مَنْ قَرَأَ هَذَا الدُّعاءَ فِي اليَوْمِ عِشْرِيْنَ مَرَّةً لَم ي َرَ قِلَّةً أَبَدًا، وَهُوَ مُجَرَّبٌ صَحِيْحٌ : حمنِ الرَّحِيمِ، يَا عَظِيمَ الجَلَالِ، يَا بَدِيعَ الكَمَالِ، يَ ا كَثِيْرَ النَّوَالِ، يَا دَائِمَ الإِفْضَالِ، يَا حَسَنَ الفَعَا لِ، يَا قَائِمُ بِلَا زَوَالٍ، وَصَلَّى اللهُ عَلَى سَيِّدِنَا مُحَمَّدٍ وَعَلَى ءَالِهِ وَصَحْبِهِ وَسَلَّم َ "
He who recites this invocation twenty times a day will never be tested by lack. It has been experienced and is authentic:
(Bismi l-Lāhi r-Raḥmāni r-Raḥīm; yā `aḍḥīma l-Jalāl; yā badī`a l-kamāl; yā kathīra n-nawāl; yā dā'ima l-'ifḍāl; yā ḥasana l-fa`āl; yā Qā'imou bilā zawāl; wa ṣalla l-Lāhou `alā sayyidinā Mouḥammadin wa `alā 'ālihi wa ṣaḥbihi wa sallam)
شَخصٍ لم يُرزَق أَولادًا مُنذُ عَشرِ سنِينَ : لِيُكثِرُوا مِنَ الا ستِغفَار، ليَلزَم. شَخصٌ لَزِمَ الاستِغفَارَ فرُزِقَ.
A couple who have not had a child for ten years: let them multiply al-istighfār. Let them do it regularly. There is someone who became attached to al-istighfār and he had children.
الصُّبْحَةُ تَمْنَعُ الرِّزْ أ ي أوَّلَ النَّهَارِ)، لَكِنَّهُ إِنْ كَانَ الشَّخْصُ يَنَامُ بِلَا فَائِدَةٍ (هذَا الذِي نَقُولُ) نَوْمُهُ لِمَرَضٍ).
It came to a Ḥadīth of low reliability that sleeping in the morning after the dawn prayer, i.e. at the beginning of the day, deprives one of sustenance. Nevertheless, it is in case the person goes back to sleep unnecessarily. That's what we say. It is in this case that there is no good in it. It may indeed be that the person goes back to sleep due to an illness.
الحمد لله رب العالمين
Praise be to Allāh, the Creator of the world.
