Introduction
Pain is a natural part of human life — whether it’s headache (sar dard), toothache (dant dard), stomach pain (pet dard), or back pain (kamar dard).
In Islam, Muslims are taught to seek both medical treatment and spiritual healing through dua.
The Dard Ki Dua (supplication for pain) is a powerful way to ask Allah for relief from pain and distress. The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ taught several duas that bring comfort and healing when recited with faith and patience.
In this article, we’ll explore different duas for various types of pain, including sar dard ki dua, pet dard ki dua, dant dard ki dua, and more — in Urdu, Hindi, and English, with meaning and benefits.
What Is Dard Ki Dua?
“Dard ki dua” simply means a supplication for pain.
The Prophet ﷺ recommended Muslims to call upon Allah during illness or physical discomfort. Dua acts as spiritual medicine, and when combined with medical care, it strengthens both body and soul.
Allah says in the Quran:
“And when I am ill, it is He who cures me.”
(Surah Ash-Shu’ara 26:80)
General Dard Ki Dua (For Any Pain)
Arabic:
اللَّهُمَّ رَبَّ النَّاسِ، أَذْهِبِ الْبَأْسَ، اشْفِ أَنْتَ الشَّافِي، لَا شِفَاءَ إِلَّا شِفَاؤُكَ، شِفَاءً لَا يُغَادِرُ سَقَمًا
Transliteration:
Allahumma Rabban-naas, adh-hibil ba’sa, ishfi anta ash-shaafi, la shifaa’a illa shifaa’uka, shifaa’an la yughaadiru saqaman.
Meaning:
“O Allah! Lord of mankind, remove the harm and cure me. You are the Healer. There is no cure except Your cure, a cure that leaves no illness behind.”
Sar Dard Ki Dua (Dua for Headache)
When suffering from a headache or migraine, recite the following dua and rub your hand gently on the area of pain.
Arabic:
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ
Then say:
أَعُوذُ بِاللَّهِ وَقُدْرَتِهِ مِنْ شَرِّ مَا أَجِدُ وَأُحَاذِرُ
Transliteration:
A’uzu billahi wa qudratihi min sharri ma ajidu wa uhadhiru
Meaning:
“I seek refuge in Allah and His Power from the evil of what I feel and fear.”
This dua was recommended by the Prophet ﷺ to relieve headache, sar ke dard, and other pains.
Pet Dard Ki Dua (Dua for Stomach Pain)
For stomach or abdominal pain, gently place your hand on your stomach and recite this dua:

Transliteration:
Bismillah (3 times), A’uzu billahi wa qudratihi min sharri ma ajidu.
Meaning:
“In the name of Allah, I seek refuge in Allah and His Power from the harm of what I feel.”
This dua is beneficial for pet dard, pait dard, indigestion, or gastric pain.
Dant Dard Ki Dua (Dua for Toothache)
If you suffer from tooth pain, recite the following verse and blow gently on the painful area:
Quranic Verse (Surah Al-Mu’minun 23:115):
Arabic:
أَفَحَسِبْتُمْ أَنَّمَا خَلَقْنَاكُمْ عَبَثًا

Also, you may recite Surah Al-Fatiha and Darood Sharif for additional healing, as the Prophet ﷺ described Surah Fatiha as “a cure for every illness.”
Kamar Dard Ki Dua (Dua for Back Pain)
For kamar dard or joint pain, recite this dua:
Arabic:
اللّهُ يُمْسِكُ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضَ أَنْ تَزُولاَ
Transliteration:
Allahu yumsikus-samawati wal-arda an tazoola.
Meaning:
“Allah is the One who holds the heavens and the earth so they do not collapse.”
Reciting this dua brings comfort, strength, and relief from muscle and back pain.
Pair Dard Ki Dua (Dua for Leg Pain)
For leg or foot pain, you can recite the general dua for pain and add:
“Ya Shafi, Ya Allah” — meaning “O Healer, O Allah.”
Say it seven times while gently massaging the area of pain.
Dua from the Quran for Pain Relief
“And We send down from the Quran that which is a healing and mercy for the believers.”
(Surah Al-Isra 17:82)
Reciting verses like Ayat-ul-Kursi, Surah Al-Fatiha, and Surah Al-Ikhlas are proven sources of spiritual healing.
How to Read Dard Ki Dua Properly
- Perform Wudu (Ablution) before making dua.
- Sit calmly and place your hand on the painful area.
- Start with Bismillah and Darood Sharif.
- Recite the specific dua for your pain 3–7 times.
- Blow lightly on the area and trust in Allah’s mercy.
Benefits of Reciting Dard Ki Dua
- Relieves physical pain and discomfort
- Strengthens faith and patience
- Encourages reliance on Allah (Tawakkul)

Scientific & Spiritual Harmony
Islam encourages both medicine and dua. The Prophet ﷺ said:
“Seek treatment, for Allah has not created a disease without appointing a cure for it.”
(Sunan Ibn Majah)
So, while you recite the Dard ki Dua, don’t hesitate to take medical treatment — both are part of healing in Islam.
