Before speaking in public, job interviews, presentations, exams, or facing intimidation
Expanding the chest ("Sharh as-Sadr") signifies spiritual fortitude, tolerance, and liberation from anxiety. Unknotting the tongue allows truth to penetrate the hearts of listeners clearly.
Revealed in Surah Ta-Ha verses 25-28, this prayer was answered immediately by Allah: "You have been granted your request, O Moses." (20:36). Ideal for public speaking, exams, interviews, and interpersonal conflicts.
