Asalaamualaykum, 

I know most of us are having final exams soon, so I wanted to share a Dua’a that is read during times of difficulty. May Allah help us do well in this Dunya and the Hereafter!

La ilaha illa anta, Subhanaka, Inni kuntu minadh-dhalimeen 

There is none worthy of Worship besides You, You are far exalted and above all weaknesses, Surely, I am from among the wrongdoers.

(This was recited by Prophet Yunus (AS) while he was in the belly of the fish/whale.)

‘The Messenger [of Allah] believes in what has been revealed to him from his Rabb, as do the Believers: each one of them believes in Allah, His angels, His Books and His Messengers. [They say:] ‘We make no distinction between one and another of His Messengers.’ And they say: ‘We hear and obey [We seek] Your forgiveness, our Rabb, and to You Is the end of all Journeys.’ On no soul does Allah place a burden greater than it can bear. It gets everything that it earns, and upon it Is everything that it reaps. [Pray:] “Our Rabb, Condemn us not if we forget or fall into error. Our Rabbi Lay not on us a burden like that which You laid on those before us. Our Rabbi Lay not on us a burden greater than we have strength to bear. Pardon us. And grant us forgiveness. Have mercy on us. You are our Protector. Grant us victory over the unbelievers.’ 

(Surah Al Baqarah: 285-286)

لَنْ تَنَالُوا الْبِرَّ حَتَّىٰ تُنْفِقُوا مِمَّا تُحِبُّونَ ۚ وَمَا تُنْفِقُوا مِنْ شَيْءٍ فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ بِهِ عَلِيمٌ

‘Never will you attain the good [reward] until you spend [in the way of Allah ] from that which you love. And whatever you spend - indeed, Allah is Knowing of it.’ (Surah ‘Ali Imran: 92)

Muslims are not. 

By the mercy of Allah towards mankind, He has opened the gate of repentance, and it will not close until the soul reaches the throat (at death) or the sun rises from the west.
