At times of tribulation and hardship, you can say these supplications: • “Allahumma inna naj`aluka fi nuhoorihim wa na`udhu bika min shururihim.” • “La ilaha ill-Allah Al-`Athim Al-Halim, la ilaha ill-Allah Rabb Al-`Arsh Al-`Athim, la ilaha ill-Allah Rabb ul-samawati wa Rabb ul-ard wa Rabbul-`Arsh il-karim.” • “La ilaha illa anta subhanaka inni kuntu min ath-thalimin.” • “A’udhu bi kalimat-illah il-tammati min ghadabihi wa min sharri `ibadihi wa min hamazat ash-shayatini wa an yahdurun.’ • “Allahumma rahmataka arju fala takilni ila nafsi tarfat `ayn wa aslih li sha’ni kullahu la ilaha illa anta.”

There is no authentic Hadith specifying the age of Imam Mahdi at his emergence. Some inauthentic narrations suggest he will appear at 40, but scholars classify these as unreliable. The conclusion among scholars is that no sound Hadith confirms his age.
