There is no specific Prophetic supplication established to “make anything submit” or guarantee that every matter will become easy simply by reciting certain words.

However, a Muslim may ask Allah for ease, relief, success, and the fulfillment of permissible needs through authentic supplications from the Quran and Sunnah.

One of the greatest prayers is the supplication of Prophet Yunus عليه السلام:

“There is no deity except You; glory be to You. Indeed, I have been among the wrongdoers.”

The Supplication for Making Difficult Matters Easy

One beneficial supplication is:

“O Allah, there is no ease except what You make easy, and You can make difficulty easy if You will.”

It is appropriate when facing a difficult task, uncertainty, or a matter that seems beyond one’s ability.

The Supplication “O Ever-Living, O Sustainer”

Another comprehensive supplication is:

“O Ever-Living, O Sustainer, by Your mercy I seek help. Set right all of my affairs, and do not leave me to myself even for the blink of an eye.”

It asks Allah to correct every aspect of one’s affairs and expresses complete dependence upon Him.

The Supplication of Yunus for Relief

The supplication of Yunus عليه السلام is among the greatest Quranic prayers:

“There is no deity except You; glory be to You. Indeed, I have been among the wrongdoers.”

It combines belief in Allah’s oneness, glorification of Him, and acknowledgment of one’s shortcomings, making it especially meaningful during hardship and distress.

Is “O Allah, Maker of the Difficult Easy” an Authentic Prophetic Dua?

A commonly circulated supplication begins:

“O Allah, Maker of the difficult easy, O Turner of iron soft...”

It is often presented as a powerful prayer for making difficult matters easy.

However, it should not be presented as an established Prophetic supplication or assigned a special virtue without reliable evidence.

A Muslim may make general dua using permissible words and sound meanings, but authentic Quranic and Prophetic supplications are preferable.

Can I Ask Allah to Make People and Things Easy for Me?

A Muslim may ask Allah to facilitate permissible matters, provide helpful people, and create beneficial circumstances.

However, “making people submit” should not mean trying to control or force others against their will or violate their rights.

Dua is an act of worship, not a magical formula for controlling people.

A General Dua for Fulfilling a Need

A Muslim may also make a personal supplication such as:

“O Allah, make my affairs easy, fulfill my need, open for me the doors of goodness, keep harm away from me, and decree what is best for me. Bless what You choose for me, and do not leave me to myself even for the blink of an eye.”

This is a permissible general supplication, but it should not be attributed to the Prophet ﷺ.

How Can Dua Become a Means of Ease?

A Muslim should combine supplication with sincere reliance on Allah and taking legitimate practical steps.

Important aspects include:

• Sincerity toward Allah.
• Confidence in His power.
• Persisting in dua without becoming impatient.
• Repentance and seeking forgiveness.
• Ensuring that one’s income and food are lawful.
• Taking permissible practical means.
• Accepting Allah’s decree.

Allah may answer a supplication by granting what was requested, removing harm, or reserving its reward for the Hereafter.

The Best Short Supplications for Ease

A Muslim looking for a short, comprehensive dua may say:

“O Ever-Living, O Sustainer, by Your mercy I seek help. Set right all of my affairs, and do not leave me to myself even for the blink of an eye.”

They may also say:

“O Allah, there is no ease except what You make easy, and You can make difficulty easy if You will.”

And during distress:

“There is no deity except You; glory be to You. Indeed, I have been among the wrongdoers.”

The effectiveness of dua should not be reduced to searching for a supposedly “powerful” formula. Its true strength lies in sincere reliance upon Allah and turning to Him with humility and hope.

Conclusion

There is no established Prophetic supplication that guarantees making anything submit or making every matter easy simply through recitation.

However, the Quran and Sunnah contain powerful supplications for seeking relief, ease, guidance, and the fulfillment of permissible needs.

Among them is:

“O Ever-Living, O Sustainer, by Your mercy I seek help. Set right all of my affairs, and do not leave me to myself even for the blink of an eye.”

Another is:

“O Allah, there is no ease except what You make easy, and You can make difficulty easy if You will.”

And the supplication of Yunus عليه السلام:

“There is no deity except You; glory be to You. Indeed, I have been among the wrongdoers.”

The believer should combine these supplications with practical effort, trust in Allah, and acceptance of His decree.
