There is no deity except You; exalted are You. Indeed, I have been of the wrongdoers.
When to recite
The dua of Yunus ˣ from inside the whale — short, complete, and famously answered. Use it when you feel overwhelmed, alone, or stuck inside something difficult: a long labour, a tough trimester, a postnatal day that feels endless. The Prophet ﷺ said no Muslim makes this dua about anything without Allah responding. Memorise it; it is your lifeline.
