Request:
Asalamalikum,
I have a driving phobia. I am extremely scared of driving. This problem depresses me and i feel hopeless and worthless all the time. Kindly suggest something for me?

Alaykum Salam,
Make wudu and pray 2 rakaats before going out if possible or put something in your sadaqa box at home. When exiting your house say: Bismillah wa tawakkaltu ala Allah wa la hawla wala quwwata illa billah. Before ignition recite the dua of drivers and travellers: Subhan al-ladhi sakhkhara lana hadha wa ma kunna lahu muqrinin, wa-inna ila Rabbina la-munqalibun.
