NAMAZ FOR SOLVING DIFFICULTIES

Imam al-Sadiq(a.s.) is reported to have said: When you face a difficulty, you may offer a two-unit prayer at midday (zohr). In the first unit, you may recite Surah al-Faatehah, Surah al-Tawheed, and the first three verses of Surah al-Fath (No. 48):

In the second unit, you may recite Surah al-Faatehah, Surah al-Tawheed, and Surah al-Inshirah (or al-Sharh No. 94).

This prayer has been personally experienced.
