(Fortress of the Muslim) Supplications from the Qur’an and Sunnah

 

In the Name of Allah, the Most Compassionate, the Most Merciful

Introduction

Praise be to Allah. We praise Him, seek His help, and ask for His forgiveness. We seek refuge with Allah from the evil of our souls and from our bad deeds. Whoever Allah guides, none can misguide, and whoever He misguides, none can guide. I bear witness that there is no god but Allah, alone, with no partner, and I bear witness that Muhammad is His servant and Messenger. May Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him, his family and Companions, and those who follow them with righteousness until the Day of Judgment, and may He grant them abundant peace. To proceed:

This is an abridged version that I have summarized from my book: Adh-Dhikr wa Ad-Duā’ wa Al-‘Ilāj Bir-Ruqā min Al-Kitāb wa As-Sunnah" (Dhikr, Supplication, and Treatment with Ruqyahs from the Qur’an and Sunnah).1 I have abridged the section on Adhkār (regular supplications) to make it easy to carry during travel.

I have limited myself to the text of Dhikr (remembrance) and sufficed in its Takhrīj (Hadith authentication) by mentioning one or two sources found in the original version. Whoever wishes to know the Companion or seeks further details in the Takhrīj should refer to the original version. I ask Allah Almighty by His excellent names and sublime attributes to make it sincerely for His sake, and to benefit me with it in my life and after my death, and benefit with it whoever reads it, prints it, or contributes to its dissemination; indeed, He is the Guardian of that and fully Capable of it. May Allah’s peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, his Companions, and those who follow them with righteousness until the Day of Judgment.

The Merit of Dhikr (remembrance of Allah)

Allah Almighty says:

﴿فَٱذۡكُرُونِيٓ أَذۡكُرۡكُمۡ وَٱشۡكُرُواْ لِي وَلَا تَكۡفُرُونِ 152﴾

{Therefore remember Me; I will remember you. Be grateful to Me, and do not be ungrateful} 2

﴿يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ ٱذۡكُرُواْ ٱللَّهَ ذِكۡرٗا كَثِيرٗا41﴾

{O you who believe, remember Allah much}3

﴿...وَالذَّاكِرِينَ اللَّهَ كَثِيرًا وَالذَّاكِرَاتِ أَعَدَّ اللَّهُ لَهُم مَّغْفِرَةً وَأَجْرًا عَظِيمًا﴾

{And men and women who remember Allah much—Allah has prepared for them forgiveness and a great reward.}4

﴿وَٱذۡكُر رَّبَّكَ فِي نَفۡسِكَ تَضَرُّعٗا وَخِيفَةٗ وَدُونَ ٱلۡجَهۡرِ مِنَ ٱلۡقَوۡلِ بِٱلۡغُدُوِّ وَٱلۡأٓصَالِ وَلَا تَكُن مِّنَ ٱلۡغَٰفِلِينَ 205﴾

{And remember your Lord within yourself with humility and fear, without raising your voice, in the morning and evening, and do not be of those who are heedless}5

And the Prophet (ﷺ) said:

«مَثَلُ الَّذِي يَذْكُرُ رَبَّهُ، وَالَّذِي لَا يَذْكُرُ ربَّهُ، مَثَلُ الحَيِّ وَالمَيِّتِ».

"The example of the one who remembers his Lord and the one who does not remember his Lord is like that of the living and the dead."6

And the Prophet (ﷺ) said:

«أَلَا أُنبِّئُكُم بِخَيْرِ أَعْمَالِكُمْ، وَأَزْكَاهَا عِنْدَ مَلِيكِكُمْ، وَأَرْفَعِهَا فِي دَرَجَاتِكُمْ، وَخَيْرٍ لَكُمْ مِنْ إِنْفَاقِ الذَّهَبِ وَالوَرِقِ، وَخَيْرٍ لَكُمْ مِنْ أَنْ تَلْقَوْا عَدُوَّكُمْ فَتَضْرِبُوا أَعْنَاقَهُمْ وَيَضْرِبُوا أَعْنَاقِكُم؟» قَالُوا بَلَى. «ذِكْرُ اللَّهِ تَعَالَى».

"Shall I not inform you of the best of your deeds and the purest in the sight of your Sovereign and the highest in your ranks, and better for you than spending gold and silver, and better for you than encountering your enemy so you strike their necks and they strike your necks?" They said: Yes. He said: "Dhikr (remembrance) of Allah Almighty."7

And the Prophet (ﷺ) said:

«يَقُولُ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى: أَنَا عِنْدَ ظَنِّ عَبْدِي بِي، وَأَنَا مَعَهُ إِذَا ذَكَرَنِي، فَإِنْ ذَكَرَنِي فِي نَفْسِهِ، ذَكَرْتُهُ فِي نَفْسِي، وَإِنْ ذَكَرَنِي فِي مَلَأٍ ، ذَكَرْتُهُ فِي مَلَأٍ خَيْرٍ مِنْهُمْ، وَإِنْ تَقَرَّبَ إِلَيَّ شِبْرًا، تَقَرَّبْتُ إِلَيْهِ ذِرَاعًا، وَإِنْ تَقَرَّبَ إِلَيَّ ذِرَاعًا، تَقَرَّبْتُ إِلَيْهِ بَاعًا، وَإِنْ أَتَانِي يَمْشِي أَتَيْتُهُ هَرْوَلَةً».

"Allah Almighty says: ‘I am just as My servant thinks of Me, and I am with him when he remembers Me. If he remembers Me in himself, I too remember him in Myself; and if he remembers Me in a group, I remember him in a group better than them. If he comes one span near to Me, I go one cubit near to him; and if he comes one cubit near to Me, I go a distance of a fathom (two outstretched arms) near to him; and if he comes to Me walking, I go to him running.’"8

On the authority of Abdullah ibn Busr (may Allah be pleased with him) the who reported that a man said: “O Messenger of Allah, indeed, the laws of Islam have become too much for me, so tell me of something to hold on to.” He said:

«لَا يَزَالُ لِسَانُكَ رَطْبًا مِنْ ذِكْرِ اللَّهِ».

‘Keep your tongue moist with the remembrance of Allah"9

And the Prophet (ﷺ) said:

«مَنْ قَرَأَ حَرْفًا مِنْ كِتَابِ اللَّهِ فَلَهُ بِهِ حَسَنَةٌ، وَالحَسَنَةُ بِعَشْرِ أَمْثَالِهَا، لَا أَقُولُ: ﴿الــم﴾ حَرْفٌ، وَلَكِنْ: أَلِفٌ حَرْفٌ، وَلَامٌ حَرْفٌ، وَمِيْمٌ حَرْفٌ».

"Whoever recites a letter from the Book of Allah will be credited with a good deed, and a good deed is multiplied tenfold. I am not saying that {Alif-Lām-Mīm} is one letter, but Alif is a letter, Lām is a letter, and Mīm is a letter."10

‘Uqbah ibn Āmir (may Allah be pleased with him) reported that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) came out while we were in As-Suffah (terrace of the mosque), and said:

«أَيُّكُمْ يُحِبُّ أَنْ يَغْدُوَ كُلَّ يَوْمٍ إِلَى بُطْحَانَ، أَوْ إِلَى العَقِيقِ، فَيَأْتيَ مِنْهُ بِنَاقَتَيْنِ كَوْمَاوَيْنِ فِي غَيْرِ إِثْمٍ وَلَا قَطِيعَةِ رَحِمٍ؟»

“Which of you would like to go out every morning to But'hān or Al-Aqīq and bring two large-humped she-camels without being guilty of sin or severing ties of kinship?” We said, “O Messenger of Allah, we would love that.” He said:

«أَفَلَا يَغْدُو أَحَدُكُمْ إِلَى المَسْجِدِ فَيَعْلَمَ، أَوْ يَقْرَأَ آيَتَيْنِ مِنْ كِتَابِ اللَّهِ عَزَّوَجَلَّ خَيْرٌ لَهُ مِنْ نَاقَتَيْنِ، وَثَلاثٌ خَيْرٌ لَهُ مِنْ ثَلَاثٍ، وَأَرْبَعٌ خَيْرٌ لَهُ مِنْ أَرْبَعٍ، وَمِنْ أَعْدَادِهِنَّ مِنَ الإِبِلِ».

"Would not any one of you go out in the morning to the mosque and learn or recite two verses of the Book of Allah Almighty? That is better for him than two she-camels, and three verses are better for him than three she-camels, and four verses are better for him than four she-camels, and so on."11

And the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) said:

«مَنْ قَعَدَ مَقْعَدًَا لَمْ يَذْكُرِ اللَّهَ فِيهِ، كَانَتْ عَلَيْهِ مِنَ اللَّهِ تِرَةٌ، وَمَنِ اضْطَجَعَ مَضْجِعًا لَمْ يَذْكُرِ اللَّهَ فِيهِ كَانَتْ عَلَيْهِ مِنَ اللَّهِ تِرَةٌ».

"Whoever sits in a place where he does not remember Allah, deprivation will descend on him from Allah; and whoever lies down in a place where he does not remember Allah, deprivation will descend on him from Allah."12

And the Prophet (ﷺ) said:

«مَا جَلَسَ قَوْمٌ مَجْلِسًَا لَمْ يَذْكُرُوا اللَّهَ فِيهِ، وَلَمْ يُصَلُّوا عَلَى نَبِيِّهِمْ إِلَّا كَانَ عَلَيْهِمْ تِرَةً، فَإِنْ شَاءَ عذَّبَهُمْ، وَإِنْ شَاءَ غَفَرَ لَهُمْ».

"No people sit in a gathering where they do not remember Allah and do not invoke blessings upon their Prophet, except that it will be a source of regret for them. If He wills, He will punish them; or if He wills, He will forgive them."13

And the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) said:

«مَا مِنْ قَوْمٍ يَقُومُونَ مِنْ مَجْلِسٍ لَا يَذْكُرُونَ اللَّهَ فِيهِ إِلَّا قَامُوا عَنْ مِثْلِ جِيفَةِ حِمَارٍ، وَكَانَ لهُمْ حَسْرةً».

"No people leave a gathering in which they did not remember Allah except that it will be as if they are leaving the carcass of a donkey, and it will be a cause of regret for them."14

1. Adhkār for waking up from sleep

«الحَمْدُ للَّهِ الَّذِي أَحْيَانَا بَعْدَ مَا أَمَاتَنَا، وَإِلَيْهِ النُّشُورُ».

"Praise be to Allah Who gave us life after He caused us to die and to Him is the resurrection."15

«لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَحْدَهُ لَا شَريكَ لَهُ، لَهُ المُلْكُ وَلَهُ الحَمْدُ، وَهُوَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ، سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ، وَالحَمْدُ للَّهِ، وَلَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ، وَاللَّهُ أَكبَرُ، وَلَا حَوْلَ وَلَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللَّهِ العَلِيِّ العَظِيمِ، رَبِّ اغْفرْ لِي».

"There is no god but Allah, alone, without any partner. To Him belongs the dominion, and to Him belongs all praise, and He is Competent over all things. Glory be to Allah, and all praise is due to Allah, and there is no god but Allah, and Allah is the Greatest, and there is no power and no strength except through Allah, the Most High, the Most Great. My Lord, forgive me."16

«الحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي عَافَانِي فِي جَسَدِي، وَرَدَّ عَلَيَّ رُوحِي، وَأَذِنَ لِي بِذِكْرِهِ».

"Praise be to Allah Who granted me wellness in my body, restored my soul to me, and permitted me to remember Him."17

﴿إِنَّ فِي خَلۡقِ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلۡأَرۡضِ وَٱخۡتِلَٰفِ ٱلَّيۡلِ وَٱلنَّهَارِ لَأٓيَٰتٖ لِّأُوْلِي ٱلۡأَلۡبَٰبِ190 ٱلَّذِينَ يَذۡكُرُونَ ٱللَّهَ قِيَٰمٗا وَقُعُودٗا وَعَلَىٰ جُنُوبِهِمۡ وَيَتَفَكَّرُونَ فِي خَلۡقِ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلۡأَرۡضِ رَبَّنَا مَا خَلَقۡتَ هَٰذَا بَٰطِلٗا سُبۡحَٰنَكَ فَقِنَا عَذَابَ ٱلنَّارِ 191 رَبَّنَآ إِنَّكَ مَن تُدۡخِلِ ٱلنَّارَ فَقَدۡ أَخۡزَيۡتَهُۥۖ وَمَا لِلظَّٰلِمِينَ مِنۡ أَنصَارٖ 192 رَّبَّنَآ إِنَّنَا سَمِعۡنَا مُنَادِيٗا يُنَادِي لِلۡإِيمَٰنِ أَنۡ ءَامِنُواْ بِرَبِّكُمۡ فَـَٔامَنَّاۚ رَبَّنَا فَٱغۡفِرۡ لَنَا ذُنُوبَنَا وَكَفِّرۡ عَنَّا سَيِّـَٔاتِنَا وَتَوَفَّنَا مَعَ ٱلۡأَبۡرَارِ 193 رَبَّنَا وَءَاتِنَا مَا وَعَدتَّنَا عَلَىٰ رُسُلِكَ وَلَا تُخۡزِنَا يَوۡمَ ٱلۡقِيَٰمَةِۖ إِنَّكَ لَا تُخۡلِفُ ٱلۡمِيعَادَ 194 فَٱسۡتَجَابَ لَهُمۡ رَبُّهُمۡ أَنِّي لَآ أُضِيعُ عَمَلَ عَٰمِلٖ مِّنكُم مِّن ذَكَرٍ أَوۡ أُنثَىٰۖ بَعۡضُكُم مِّنۢ بَعۡضٖۖ فَٱلَّذِينَ هَاجَرُواْ وَأُخۡرِجُواْ مِن دِيَٰرِهِمۡ وَأُوذُواْ فِي سَبِيلِي وَقَٰتَلُواْ وَقُتِلُواْ لَأُكَفِّرَنَّ عَنۡهُمۡ سَيِّـَٔاتِهِمۡ وَلَأُدۡخِلَنَّهُمۡ جَنَّٰتٖ تَجۡرِي مِن تَحۡتِهَا ٱلۡأَنۡهَٰرُ ثَوَابٗا مِّنۡ عِندِ ٱللَّهِۚ وَٱللَّهُ عِندَهُۥ حُسۡنُ ٱلثَّوَابِ 195 لَا يَغُرَّنَّكَ تَقَلُّبُ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ فِي ٱلۡبِلَٰدِ 196 مَتَٰعٞ قَلِيلٞ ثُمَّ مَأۡوَىٰهُمۡ جَهَنَّمُۖ وَبِئۡسَ ٱلۡمِهَادُ 197 لَٰكِنِ ٱلَّذِينَ ٱتَّقَوۡاْ رَبَّهُمۡ لَهُمۡ جَنَّٰتٞ تَجۡرِي مِن تَحۡتِهَا ٱلۡأَنۡهَٰرُ خَٰلِدِينَ فِيهَا نُزُلٗا مِّنۡ عِندِ ٱللَّهِۗ وَمَا عِندَ ٱللَّهِ خَيۡرٞ لِّلۡأَبۡرَارِ 198 وَإِنَّ مِنۡ أَهۡلِ ٱلۡكِتَٰبِ لَمَن يُؤۡمِنُ بِٱللَّهِ وَمَآ أُنزِلَ إِلَيۡكُمۡ وَمَآ أُنزِلَ إِلَيۡهِمۡ خَٰشِعِينَ لِلَّهِ لَا يَشۡتَرُونَ بِـَٔايَٰتِ ٱللَّهِ ثَمَنٗا قَلِيلًاۚ أُوْلَٰٓئِكَ لَهُمۡ أَجۡرُهُمۡ عِندَ رَبِّهِمۡۗ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ سَرِيعُ ٱلۡحِسَابِ 199 يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ ٱصۡبِرُواْ وَصَابِرُواْ وَرَابِطُواْ وَٱتَّقُواْ ٱللَّهَ لَعَلَّكُمۡ تُفۡلِحُونَ 200﴾

{Indeed, in the creation of the heavens and earth and the alternation of the night and day are signs for people of understanding,

those who remember Allah while standing, sitting, and lying on their sides, and reflect upon the creation of the heavens and earth [saying], “Our Lord, you have not created all this in vain. Glory be to You. Protect us from the punishment of the Fire.

Our Lord, whoever You cause to enter the Fire, You have surely disgraced him, and the wrongdoers will have no helpers.

Our Lord, we have heard the caller to faith calling, ‘Believe in your Lord,’ so we believed. Our Lord, forgive us our sins, expiate our misdeeds, and cause us to die among the righteous.

Our Lord, give us what You have promised us through Your messengers, and do not disgrace us on the Day of Resurrection, for You never break Your promise.

Their Lord responded to them: “I will never waste the deeds of any doer among you, male or female; you are the same in reward. Those who migrated and were driven out of their homes and suffered for My sake, and fought and were killed – I will surely expiate their sins and admit them into gardens under which rivers flow, a reward from Allah, and with Allah is the best reward."

Do not be deceived by the disbelievers prosperity in the land,

it is a brief enjoyment, then Hell will be their abode. What a terrible resting place!

But for those who fear their Lord will be gardens under which rivers flow, abiding therein forever – a welcoming gift from Allah; and what is with Allah is best for the righteous.

There are some among the People of the Book who believe in Allah and what has been sent down to you and what was sent down to them; humbling themselves before Allah. They do not sell Allah’s verses for a small price. It is they who will have their reward with their Lord. Indeed, Allah is swift in reckoning}

O you who believe, be patient and endure, stand on guard and fear Allah, so that you may be successful}

[Surat Āl Imrān: 190-200]18

«لَا حَوْلَ وَلَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللَّهِ».

"There is no might or strength except through Allah."44

He should say:

«وَأَنَا أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَحْدَهُ لَا شَرِيكَ لَهُ وَأَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا عَبْدُهُ وَرَسُولُهُ، رَضِيتُ بِاللَّهِ رَبًَّا، وَبِمُحَمَّدٍ رَسُولًا، وَبِالإِسْلَامِ دِينًَا».

"And I bear witness that there is no deity worthy of worship except Allah alone without any partner, and that Muhammad is His slave and Messenger. I am pleased with Allah as a Lord, with Muhammad as a Messenger, and with Islam as a religion."45

He says this after the muezzin (the one who calls to prayer) says the testimony of faith.46

He invokes Allah's blessings upon the Prophet (ﷺ) after completing his response to the muezzin.47

He should say:

«اللَّهُمَّ رَبَّ هَذِهِ الدَّعْوَةِ التَّامَّةِ، وَالصَّلَاةِ القَائِمَةِ، آتِ مُحَمَّدًا الوَسِيلَةَ وَالفَضِيلَةَ، وَابْعَثْهُ مَقَامًَا مَحمُودًا الَّذِي وَعَدْتَهُ، [إِنَّكَ لَا تُخْلِفُ المِيعَادَ]».

"O Allah, Lord of this perfect call and the established prayer, grant Muhammad Al-Wasīlah (the highest position of Paradise) and the degree of superiority, and raise him to a Praiseworthy Position which You have promised him, [indeed, You never fail in Your promise]."48

He should make Du‘ā for himself between the Adhān and the Iqāmah (second call to prayer), for Du‘ā is not rejected at that time.49

16. Istiftāh (Opening) supplication

«اللَّهُمَّ بَاعِدْ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَ خَطَايَايَ كَمَا بَاعَدْتَ بَيْنَ المَشْرِقِ وَالمَغْرِبِ، اللَّهُمَّ نَقِّنِي مِنْ خَطَايَايَ كَمَا يُنَقَّى الثَّوْبُ الأَبْيَضُ مِنَ الدَّنَسِ، اللَّهُمَّ اغْسِلْني مِنْ خَطَايَايَ، بِالثَّلْجِ وَالماءِ وَالبَرَدِ».

"O Allah, distance me from my sins as You have distanced the east from the west. O Allah, purify me from my sins as the white garment is purified from dirt. O Allah, wash out my sins with snow, water, and hail."50

«سُبْحانَكَ اللَّهُمَّ وَبِحَمْدِكَ، وَتَبارَكَ اسْمُكَ، وَتَعَالَى جَدُّكَ، وَلَا إِلَهَ غَيْرُكَ».

"Glory be to You, O Allah, and all praise is due to You, and blessed is Your Name and exalted is Your Majesty and no deity is worthy of worship but You."51

«وَجَّهْتُ وَجْهِيَ لِلَّذِي فَطَرَ السَّمَوَاتِ وَالأَرْضَ حَنِيفًَا وَمَا أَنَا مِنَ المُشْرِكِينَ، إِنَّ صَلَاتِي، وَنُسُكِي، وَمَحْيَايَ، وَمَمَاتِي لِلَّهِ رَبِّ العَالَمِينَ، لَا شَرِيكَ لَهُ وَبِذَلِكَ أُمِرْتُ وَأَنَا مِنَ المُسْلِمِينَ، اللَّهُمَّ أَنْتَ المَلِكُ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ، أَنْتَ رَبِّي وَأَنَا عَبْدُكَ، ظَلَمْتُ نَفْسِي وَاعْتَرَفْتُ بِذَنْبِي فَاغْفِرْ لِي ذُنُوبي جَمِيعًَا إِنَّهُ لَا يَغْفِرُ الذُّنوبَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ، وَاهْدِنِي لِأَحْسَنِ الأَخْلاقِ لَا يَهْدِي لِأَحْسَنِها إِلَّا أَنْتَ، وَاصْرِفْ عَنِّي سَيِّئَهَا، لَا يَصْرِفُ عَنِّي سَيِّئَهَا إِلَّا أَنْتَ، لَبَّيْكَ وَسَعْدَيْكَ، وَالخَيْرُ كُلُّهُ بِيَدَيْكَ، وَالشَّرُّ لَيْسَ إِلَيْكَ، أَنَا بِكَ وَإِلَيْكَ، تَبارَكْتَ وَتَعَالَيْتَ، أَسْتَغْفِرُكَ وَأَتوبُ إِلَيْكَ».

"I have turned my face in complete devotion to the One Who created the heavens and the earth, and I am not one of the polytheists. Verily, my prayer, my sacrifice, my life, and my death are for Allah, the Lord of the worlds; there is no partner with Him, and this is what I have been commanded (to profess and believe), and I am one of the Muslims. O Allah, You are the Sovereign; there is no deity worthy of worship but You. You are my Lord, and I am Your slave. I have wronged myself and have admitted my sin, so forgive all my sins, for no one forgives sins but You. Guide me to the best of morals, for none can guide to them but You, and turn away from me the worst of morals, for none can deliver me from them but You. Here I am, responding to Your call, happy to serve You. All good is within Your Hands, and evil does not belong to You. I exist by You and I will return to You. Blessed and Exalted are You. I seek Your forgiveness and repent to You."52

«اللَّهُمَّ رَبَّ جِبْرَائِيلَ، وَمِيْكَائِيلَ، وَإِسْرَافِيلَ، فَاطِرَ السَّمَوَاتِ وَالأَرْضِ، عَالِمَ الغَيْبِ وَالشَّهَادَةِ أَنْتَ تَحْكُمُ بَيْنَ عِبَادِكَ فِيمَا كَانُوا فِيهِ يَخْتَلِفُونَ، اهْدِنِي لِمَا اخْتُلِفَ فِيهِ مِنَ الحَقِّ بِإِذْنِكَ إِنَّكَ تَهْدِي مَنْ تَشَاءُ إِلَى صِرَاطٍ مُسْتَقيمٍ».

"O Allah, Lord of Gabriel, Michael, and Isrāfīl, Originator of the heavens and the earth, Knower of the unseen and the seen, You judge between Your slaves concerning that over which they used to differ. Guide me, by Your permission, to the truth concerning that over which they had differed. Verily, You guide whom You will to a straight path."53

«اللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ كَبِيرًَا، اللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ كَبِيرًا، اللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ كَبِيرًا، وَالحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ كَثيرًا، وَالحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ كَثيرًا، وَالحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ كَثيرًا، وَسُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ بُكْرَةً وَأَصِيلًا».

"Allah is the absolute Greatest, Allah is the absolute Greatest, Allah is the absolute Greatest; and abundant praise is due to Allah, abundant praise is due to Allah, abundant praise is due to Allah; and glory be to Allah in the morning and evening"

Three times.

«أَعُوذُ بِاللَّهِ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ: مِنْ نَفْخِهِ، وَنَفْثِهِ، وَهَمْزِهِ».

“I seek refuge with Allah from the devil: from his arrogance, his poetry, and his madness.”54

«اللَّهُمَّ لَكَ الحَمْدُ، أَنْتَ نُورُ السَّمَوَاتِ وَالأَرْضِ وَمَنْ فِيهِنَّ، وَلَكَ الحَمْدُ أَنْتَ قَيِّمُ السَّمَوَاتِ وَالأَرْضِ وَمَنْ فِيهِنَّ، [وَلَكَ الحَمْدُ أَنْتَ رَبُّ السَّمَوَاتِ وَالأَرْضِ وَمَنْ فِيهِنَّ] [وَلَكَ الحَمْدُ لَكَ مُلْكُ السَّمَوَاتِ وَالأَرْضِ وَمَنْ فِيهِنَّ] [وَلَكَ الحَمْدُ أَنْتَ مَلِكُ السَّمَوَاتِ وَالأَرْضِ] [وَلَكَ الحَمْدُ] [أَنْتَ الحَقُّ، وَوَعْدُكَ الحَقُّ، وَقَوْلُكَ الحَقُّ، وَلِقاؤُكَ الحَقُّ، وَالجَنَّةُ حَقٌّ، وَالنَّارُ حَقٌّ، وَالنَّبِيُّونَ حَقٌّ، وَمحَمَّدٌ ﷺ حَقٌّ، وَالسَّاعَةُ حَقٌّ] [اللَّهُمَّ لَكَ أَسْلَمتُ، وَعَلَيْكَ تَوَكَّلْتُ، وَبِكَ آمَنْتُ، وَإِلَيْكَ أَنَبْتُ، وَبِكَ خاصَمْتُ، وَإِلَيْكَ حاكَمْتُ. فَاغْفِرْ لِي مَا قَدَّمْتُ، وَمَا أَخَّرْتُ، وَمَا أَسْرَرْتُ، وَمَا أَعْلَنْتُ] [وَمَا أَنْتَ أَعْلَمُ بِهِ مِنِّي] [أَنْتَ المُقَدِّمُ، وَأَنْتَ المُؤَخِّرُ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ] [أَنْتَ إِلَهِي لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ] [وَلَا حَوْلَ وَلَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللَّهِ]».

“O Allah, praise is due to You; You are the Light of the skies and the earth and all that is in them. Praise is due to You; You are the Sustainer of the heavens and the earth and all that is in them. Praise is due to You; You are the Lord of the skies and the earth and all that is in them. Praise is due to You; to You belongs the dominion of the skies and the earth and all that is in them. Praise is due to You; You are the Sovereign of the skies and the earth. Praise is due to You; You are the Truth; Your promise is the truth; Your speech is the truth; and meeting You is the truth. Paradise is true, Hellfire is true, the prophets are true, Muhammad (ﷺ) is true, and the Hour is true. O Allah, I submit to You, rely upon You, believe in You, turn to You in repentance, with Your help I argue, and refer judgment to You. So, forgive me my previous and future sins, what I have concealed and what I have declared, and what You know better than me. You are the Advancer and You are the Delayer. There is no god but You. You are my God, there is no god but You. There is no power and no strength except through Allah.”5556

"That fills the heavens and the earth, and what is between them, and what fills anything You wish afterward. O Worthy of praise and glory, which is the most truthful thing to be said by a slave and we are all slaves to You. O Allah, none can withhold what You give, and none can give what You withhold, and the greatness of the great will be of no avail to him against You."64

"O Allah, to You I have prostrated; in You I have believed; and to You I have submitted. My face has prostrated to the One Who created it and formed it, and brought forth its hearing and sight. Blessed is Allah, the best of those who create."68

"O Allah, record it for me as a reward with You, remove by it a sin for me, and store it for me with You, and accept it from me as You accepted it from Your servant [Prophet] David."75

22. Tashahhud (sitting position in prayer)

«التَّحِيَّاتُ لِلَّهِ، وَالصَّلَواتُ، وَالطَّيِّبَاتُ، السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ أَيُّهَا النَّبِيُّ وَرَحْمَةُ اللَّهِ وَبَرَكَاتُهُ، السَّلَامُ عَلَيْنَا وَعَلَى عِبَادِ اللَّهِ الصَّالِحِينَ، أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَأَشْهَدُ أَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا عَبْدُهُ وَرَسولُهُ».

«اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ، وَعَلَى آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ، كَمَا صَلَّيتَ عَلَى إِبْرَاهِيمَ، وَعَلَى آلِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، إِنَّكَ حَمِيدٌ مَجِيدٌ، اللَّهُمَّ بَارِكْ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَعَلَى آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ، كَمَا بَارَكْتَ عَلَى إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَعَلَى آلِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، إِنَّكَ حَمِيدٌ مَجِيدٌ».

"O Allah, bestow Your peace upon Muhammad and the family of Muhammad as You bestowed Your peace upon Abraham and the family of Abraham; indeed, You are Praiseworthy and Glorious. O Allah, bless Muhammad and the family of Muhammad as You blessed Abraham and the family of Abraham; indeed, You are Praiseworthy and Glorious."77

"O Allah, I seek refuge with You from the punishment of the grave, and I seek refuge with You from the trial of the Dajjāl (Anti-Christ), and I seek refuge with You from the trial of life and death. O Allah, I seek refuge with You from sin and debt."80

«اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي ظَلَمْتُ نَفْسِي ظُلْمًا كَثِيرًا، وَلَا يَغْفِرُ الذُّنُوبَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ، فَاغْفِرْ لِي مَغْفِرَةً مِنْ عِنْدِكَ وَارْحَمْنِي، إِنَّكَ أَنْتَ الغَفُورُ الرَّحِيمُ».

"O Allah, I have wronged myself too much, and none forgives sins but You. So, forgive me with forgiveness from You, and have mercy on me. Indeed, You are the Oft-Forgiving, The Most Merciful."81

«اللَّهُمَّ اغْفِرْ لِي مَا قَدَّمْتُ، وَمَا أَخَّرْتُ، وَمَا أَسْرَرْتُ، وَمَا أَعْلَنْتُ، وَمَا أَسْرَفْتُ، وَمَا أَنْتَ أَعْلَمُ بِهِ مِنِّي، أَنْتَ المُقَدِّمُ، وَأَنْتَ المُؤَخِّرُ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ».

"O Allah, forgive me for what I have done and what I have left undone, what I have concealed and what I have declared, what I have done with excess, and what You know better than me. You are the One Who sends forward and You are the One Who holds back. There is no deity worthy of worship but You."82

«اللَّهُمَّ أَعِنِّي عَلَى ذِكْرِكَ، وَشُكْرِكَ، وَحُسْنِ عِبادَتِكَ».

"O Allah, help me remember You, give thanks to You, and worship You properly."83

«اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنَ البُخْلِ، وَأَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنَ الجُبْنِ، وَأَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ أَنْ أُرَدَّ إِلَى أَرْذَلِ العُمُرِ، وَأَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ فِتْنَةِ الدُّنْيَا وَعَذَابِ القَبْرِ».

"O Allah, I seek refuge with You from stinginess; I seek refuge with You from cowardice; I seek refuge with You that I be returned to the most decrepit age; and I seek refuge with You from the temptation of the worldly life and the punishment of the grave."84

«اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ الجَنَّةَ وَأَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنَ النَّارِ».

"O Allah, I ask You for Paradise and seek refuge in You from Hellfire."85

«اللَّهُمَّ بِعِلْمِكَ الغَيْبَ وَقُدْرَتِكَ عَلَى الخَلقِ أَحْيِنِي مَا عَلِمْتَ الحَيَاةَ خَيْرًا لِي، وَتَوَفَّنِي إِذَا عَلِمْتَ الْوَفَاةَ خَيْرًا لِي، اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ خَشْيَتَكَ فِي الغَيْبِ وَالشَّهَادَةِ، وَأَسْأَلُكَ كَلِمَةَ الحَقِّ فِي الرِّضَا وَالغَضَبِ، وَأَسْأَلُكَ القَصْدَ فِي الغِنَى وَالفَقْرِ، وَأَسْأَلُكَ نَعِيمًا لَا يَنْفَدُ، وَأَسْأَلُكَ قُرَّةَ عَيْنٍ لَا تَنْقَطِعُ، وَأَسْأَلُكَ الرِّضَا بَعْدَ القَضَاءِ، وَأَسْأَلُكَ بَرْدَ العَيْشِ بَعْدَ المَوْتِ، وَأَسْأَلُكَ لَذَّةَ النَّظَرِ إِلَى وَجْهِكَ، وَالشَّوْقَ إِلَى لِقَائِكَ فِي غَيرِ ضَرَّاءَ مُضِرَّةٍ، وَلَا فِتْنَةٍ مُضِلَّةٍ، اللَّهُمَّ زَيِّنَا بِزِينَةِ الإِيمَانِ، وَاجْعَلْنَا هُدَاةً مُهْتَدِينَ».

"O Allah, by Your knowledge of the unseen and Your power over creation, keep me alive so long as You know such life to be good for me and take my soul in death if You know death to be better for me. O Allah, I ask You for fear of You whether in secret or in public, and I ask You to keep me upon truth in speech, in times of pleasure and anger. I ask You to make me moderate in times of wealth and poverty, and I ask You for everlasting bliss and joy that never ceases. I ask You to make me pleased with what You have decreed and for an easy life after death. I ask You for the delight of looking at Your Face and for longing to encounter You without being struck by a calamity that brings about harm nor a trial that causes deviation. O Allah, beautify us with the adornment of faith and make us among those who guide others and are rightly guided."86

«اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ يَا أَللَّهُ بِأَنَّكَ الوَاحِدُ الأَحَدُ الصَّمَدُ الَّذِي لَمْ يَلِدْ وَلَمْ يُولَدْ، وَلَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ كُفُوًا أَحَدٌ، أَنْ تَغْفِرَ لِي ذُنُوبِي إِنَّكَ أَنْتَ الغَفُورُ الرَّحِّيمُ».

"O Allah, I ask You, O Allah, by Your being the One, the Only, the Eternal Refuge, Who neither begets nor is He begotten, nor is there any equivalent to Him, to forgive my sins. Indeed, You are The Oft-Forgiving, The Most Merciful."87

«اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ بِأَنَّ لَكَ الحَمْدَ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ وَحْدَكَ لَا شَرِيكَ لَكَ، المَنَّانُ، يَا بَدِيعَ السَّمَوَاتِ وَالأَرْضِ يَا ذَا الجَلَالِ وَالإِكْرَامِ، يَا حَيُّ يَا قَيُّومُ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ الجَنَّةَ وَأَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنَ النَّارِ».

"O Allah, I ask You by the fact that all praise is due to You. There is no god but You, alone, without a partner, the Bestower of blessings, O Originator of the heavens and the earth, O Owner of Majesty and Honor, O Ever-Living, O All-Sustaining. I ask You for Paradise and seek refuge in You from Hellfire."88

«اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ بِأَنَّي أَشْهَدُ أَنَّكَ أَنْتَ اللَّهُ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ الأَحَدُ الصَّمَدُ الَّذِي لَمْ يَلِدْ وَلَمْ يُولَدْ وَلَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ كُفُوًا أَحَدٌ».

"O Allah, I ask You by my testimony that You are Allah, there is no god but You, the Only One, the Eternal Refuge, Who neither begets nor is He begotten, and there is none comparable to Him."89

25. Adhkār after making Taslīm and ending the prayer

«أَسْتَغْفِرُ اللَّهَ

"I seek forgiveness from Allah

(Three times).

اللَّهُمَّ أَنْتَ السَّلَامُ، وَمِنْكَ السَّلَامُ، تَبَارَكْتَ يَا ذَا الجَلَالِ وَالإِكْرَامِ».

“O Allah, You are the Source of Peace and from You is the peace. Blessed are You, Owner of Majesty and Honor.”90

«لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَحْدَهُ لَا شَرِيكَ لَهُ، لَهُ المُلْكُ وَلَهُ الحَمْدُ وَهُوَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ

'There is no deity worthy of worship except Allah alone, Who has no partner, to Him belongs the sovereignty, to Him belongs the praise, and He is Competent over all things.

[Three times].

اللَّهُمَّ لَا مَانِعَ لِمَا أَعْطَيْتَ، وَلَا مُعْطِيَ لِمَا مَنَعْتَ، وَلَا يَنْفَعُ ذَا الجَدِّ مِنْكَ الجَدُّ».

O Allah, there is none who can withhold what You give, and none can give what You withhold, and the greatness of the great will be of no avail to them against You"91.

«لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَحْدَهُ لَا شَرِيكَ لَهُ، لَهُ المُلْكُ، وَلَهُ الحَمدُ، وَهُوَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ، لَا حَوْلَ وَلَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللَّهِ، لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ، وَلَا نَعْبُدُ إِلَّا إِيَّاهُ لَهُ النِّعْمَةُ وَلَهُ الفَضْلُ وَلَهُ الثَّنَاءُ الحَسَنُ، لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ مُخْلِصِينَ لَهُ الدِّينَ وَلَوْ كَرِهَ الكَافِرُونَ».

"There is no god but Allah, alone, with no partners. To Him belongs the sovereignty and all praise is due to Him, and He is Competent over all things. There is neither might nor power except through Allah. There is no god but Allah, and we worship none but Him. To Him belong blessings and to Him belong favor and to Him is due good praise. There is no god but Allah, we are sincere to Him in religion, even if the disbelievers may hate it."92

«سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ، وَالحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ، وَاللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ

“Glory be to Allah, praise be to Allah, and Allah is the Greatest

(Thirty-three times),

لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَحْدَهُ لَا شَرِيكَ لَهُ، لَهُ المُلْكُ وَلَهُ الحَمْدُ وَهُوَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ».

"There is no god but Allah, alone, with no partners. To Him belongs the sovereignty and all praise is due to Him, and He is Competent over all things."93

﴿قُلۡ هُوَ ٱللَّهُ أَحَدٌ1 ٱللَّهُ ٱلصَّمَدُ2 لَمۡ يَلِدۡ وَلَمۡ يُولَدۡ3 وَلَمۡ يَكُن لَّهُۥ كُفُوًا أَحَدُۢ4﴾

{Say: “He is Allah, the One;

Allah, the Eternal Refuge}

He neither begets nor is He begotten,

and there is none comparable to Him.”}

[Surat al-Ikhlās: 1-4]

﴿قُلۡ أَعُوذُ بِرَبِّ ٱلۡفَلَقِ1 مِن شَرِّ مَا خَلَقَ2 وَمِن شَرِّ غَاسِقٍ إِذَا وَقَبَ3 وَمِن شَرِّ ٱلنَّفَّٰثَٰتِ فِي ٱلۡعُقَدِ4 وَمِن شَرِّ حَاسِدٍ إِذَا حَسَدَ5﴾

{Say, “I seek refuge with the Lord of the daybreak,

from the harm of all what He has created;

from the harm of darkening [night] when it spreads around,

from the harm of the sorceresses who blow on knots}

and from the harm of the envier when he envies."}

[Surat al-Falaq: 1-5].

﴿قُلۡ أَعُوذُ بِرَبِّ ٱلنَّاسِ1 مَلِكِ ٱلنَّاسِ2 إِلَٰهِ ٱلنَّاسِ3 مِن شَرِّ ٱلۡوَسۡوَاسِ ٱلۡخَنَّاسِ4 ٱلَّذِي يُوَسۡوِسُ فِي صُدُورِ ٱلنَّاسِ5 مِنَ ٱلۡجِنَّةِ وَٱلنَّاسِ6﴾

{Say, “I seek refuge with the Lord of mankind,

the Sovereign of mankind,

the God of mankind,

from the harm of the lurking whisperer,

who whispers into the hearts of mankind,

from among jinn and mankind.”}

[Surat an-Nās: 1-6].

After every prayer.94

﴿ٱللَّهُ لَآ إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَ ٱلۡحَيُّ ٱلۡقَيُّومُۚ لَا تَأۡخُذُهُۥ سِنَةٞ وَلَا نَوۡمٞۚ لَّهُۥ مَا فِي ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَمَا فِي ٱلۡأَرۡضِۗ مَن ذَا ٱلَّذِي يَشۡفَعُ عِندَهُۥٓ إِلَّا بِإِذۡنِهِۦۚ يَعۡلَمُ مَا بَيۡنَ أَيۡدِيهِمۡ وَمَا خَلۡفَهُمۡۖ وَلَا يُحِيطُونَ بِشَيۡءٖ مِّنۡ عِلۡمِهِۦٓ إِلَّا بِمَا شَآءَۚ وَسِعَ كُرۡسِيُّهُ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلۡأَرۡضَۖ وَلَا يَـُٔودُهُۥ حِفۡظُهُمَاۚ وَهُوَ ٱلۡعَلِيُّ ٱلۡعَظِيمُ255﴾

{Allah: there is no true god except Him, the Ever-Living, All-Sustaining. Neither drowsiness overtakes Him nor sleep. To Him belongs all that is in the heavens and all that is on earth. Who is there that can intercede with Him except with His permission? He knows what was before them and what will be after them, while they encompass nothing of His knowledge, except what He wills. His Kursī [i.e., footstool] extends over the heavens and earth, and safeguarding of both does not weary Him, for He is the Most High, the Most Great.}

[Surat al-Baqarah: 255] after each prayer.95

«لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَحْدَهُ لَا شَرِيكَ لَهُ، لَهُ المُلْكُ وَلَهُ الحَمْدُ يُحْيِي وَيُمِيتُ وَهُوَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ».

"There is no deity worthy of worship except Allah alone, Who has no partner, to Him belongs the sovereignty, to Him belongs the praise, He gives life and causes death, and He is Competent over all things."

Ten times after the Maghrib and Fajr prayers.96

«اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ عِلْمًا نافِعًا، وَرِزْقًا طَيِّبًا، وَعَمَلًا مُتَقَبَّلًا».

“O Allah, I ask You for beneficial knowledge, good provision, and accepted deeds.”

بَعْدَ السَّلامِ مِنْ صَلَاةِ الفَجْرِ.

After making Taslīm from the Fajr prayer.97

26. Supplication of Istikhārah (guidance-seeking) prayer

Jābir ibn Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him and his father) said: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) used to teach us the Istikhārah in all matters just as he used to teach us a Surah of the Qur’an. He said:

«إِذَا هَمَّ أَحَدُكُمْ بِالأَمْرِ فَلْيَرْكَعْ رَكْعَتَيْنِ مِنْ غَيْرِ الفَرِيضَةِ، ثُمَّ لْيَقُلْ:

"When one of you intends to do something, let him perform two Rak‘ahs other than the obligatory prayer and then say:

اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْتَخِيرُكَ بِعِلْمِكَ، وَأَسْتَقْدِرُكَ بِقُدْرَتِكَ، وَأَسْأَلُكَ مِنْ فَضْلِكَ العَظِيمِ؛ فَإِنَّكَ تَقْدِرُ وَلَا أَقْدِرُ، وَتَعْلَمُ وَلَا أَعْلَمُ، وَأَنْتَ عَلَّامُ الغُيُوبِ، اللَّهُمَّ إِنْ كُنْتَ تَعْلَمُ أَنَّ هَذَا الأمْرَ - وَيُسَمِّي حَاجَتَهُ - خَيْرٌ لِي فِي دِينِي وَمَعَاشِي وَعَاقِبَةِ أَمْرِي – أَوْ قَالَ: عَاجِلِهِ وَآجِلِهِ - فَاقْدُرْهُ لِي وَيَسِّرْهُ لِي ثمَّ بَارِكْ لِي فِيهِ، وَإِنْ كُنْتَ تَعْلَمُ أَنَّ هَذَا الْأَمْرَ شَرٌّ لِي فِي دِينِي وَمَعَاشِي وَعَاقِبَةِ أَمْرِي – أَوْ قَالَ: عَاجِلِهِ وَآجِلِهِ – فَاصْرِفْهُ عَنِّي وَاصْرِفْنِي عَنْهُ وَاقْدُرْ لِيَ الْخَيْرَ حَيْثُ كَانَ، ثُمَّ أَرْضِنِي بِهِ».

"O Allah, I consult You for Your knowledge, and I seek strength from You for Your power, and I ask of Your great bounty. Indeed, You are Capable and I am not; You know and I do not; and You are the All-Knower of the unseen. O Allah, if You know that this matter—and he mentions his need—is good for me concerning my religion, my livelihood, and the consequences of my affairs—or he said: my immediate and future affairs—then decree it for me, make it easy for me, and then bless it for me. And if You know this matter is bad concerning my religion, my livelihood, and the consequences of my affairs—or he said: my immediate and future affairs—then turn it away from me, and turn me away from it, and decree for me what is good wherever it may be, and make me pleased with it."98

He who seeks guidance from the Creator, consults the believing creation, and is firm in his decision will not regret it, as Allah Almighty says:

﴿...وَشَاوِرۡهُمۡ فِي ٱلۡأَمۡرِۖ فَإِذَا عَزَمۡتَ فَتَوَكَّلۡ عَلَى ٱللَّهِ...﴾.

{...and consult them in important matters. But once you have made a decision, put your trust in Allah...}99

27. The morning and evening Adhkār

Praise be to Allah alone, and may Allah's peace and blessings be upon the one after whom there is no prophet.100

I seek refuge in Allah from the accursed Satan

﴿ٱللَّهُ لَآ إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَ ٱلۡحَيُّ ٱلۡقَيُّومُۚ لَا تَأۡخُذُهُۥ سِنَةٞ وَلَا نَوۡمٞۚ لَّهُۥ مَا فِي ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَمَا فِي ٱلۡأَرۡضِۗ مَن ذَا ٱلَّذِي يَشۡفَعُ عِندَهُۥٓ إِلَّا بِإِذۡنِهِۦۚ يَعۡلَمُ مَا بَيۡنَ أَيۡدِيهِمۡ وَمَا خَلۡفَهُمۡۖ وَلَا يُحِيطُونَ بِشَيۡءٖ مِّنۡ عِلۡمِهِۦٓ إِلَّا بِمَا شَآءَۚ وَسِعَ كُرۡسِيُّهُ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلۡأَرۡضَۖ وَلَا يَـُٔودُهُۥ حِفۡظُهُمَاۚ وَهُوَ ٱلۡعَلِيُّ ٱلۡعَظِيمُ255﴾

{Allah: there is no true god except Him, the Ever-Living, All-Sustaining. Neither drowsiness overtakes Him nor sleep. To Him belongs all that is in the heavens and all that is on earth. Who is there that can intercede with Him except with His permission? He knows what was before them and what will be after them, while they encompass nothing of His knowledge, except what He wills. His Kursī [i.e., footstool] extends over the heavens and earth, and safeguarding of both does not weary Him, for He is the Most High, the Most Great.}

[Surat al-Baqarah: 255]101.

﴿قُلۡ هُوَ ٱللَّهُ أَحَدٌ1 ٱللَّهُ ٱلصَّمَدُ2 لَمۡ يَلِدۡ وَلَمۡ يُولَدۡ3 وَلَمۡ يَكُن لَّهُۥ كُفُوًا أَحَدُۢ4﴾

{Say: “He is Allah, the One;

Allah, the Eternal Refuge.

He neither begets nor is He begotten,

and there is none comparable to Him.”}

[Surat al-Ikhlās: 1-4].

﴿قُلۡ أَعُوذُ بِرَبِّ ٱلۡفَلَقِ1 مِن شَرِّ مَا خَلَقَ2 وَمِن شَرِّ غَاسِقٍ إِذَا وَقَبَ3 وَمِن شَرِّ ٱلنَّفَّٰثَٰتِ فِي ٱلۡعُقَدِ4 وَمِن شَرِّ حَاسِدٍ إِذَا حَسَدَ5﴾

{Say, “I seek refuge with the Lord of the daybreak,

from the harm of all what He has created;

from the harm of darkening [night] when it spreads around,

from the harm of the sorceresses who blow on knots,

and from the harm of the envier when he envies."}

[Surat al-Falaq: 1-5]

﴿قُلۡ أَعُوذُ بِرَبِّ ٱلنَّاسِ1 مَلِكِ ٱلنَّاسِ2 إِلَٰهِ ٱلنَّاسِ3 مِن شَرِّ ٱلۡوَسۡوَاسِ ٱلۡخَنَّاسِ4 ٱلَّذِي يُوَسۡوِسُ فِي صُدُورِ ٱلنَّاسِ5 مِنَ ٱلۡجِنَّةِ وَٱلنَّاسِ6﴾

{Say, “I seek refuge with the Lord of mankind,

the Sovereign of mankind,

the God of mankind,

from the harm of the lurking whisperer,

who whispers into the hearts of mankind

from among jinn and mankind.”}

[Surat an-Nās: 1-6] Three times.102

«أَصْبَحْنَا وَأَصْبَحَ المُلْكُ لِلَّهِ، وَالحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ، لَا إِلَهَ إلَّا اللَّهُ وَحْدَهُ لَا شَرِيكَ لَهُ، لَهُ الْمُلْكُ وَلَهُ الحَمْدُ وَهُوَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ، رَبِّ أَسْأَلُكَ خَيْرَ مَا فِي هَذَا اليَوْمِ وَخَيرَ مَا بَعْدَهُ، وَأَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ شَرِّ مَا فِي هَذَا اليَوْمِ وَشَرِّ مَا بَعْدَهُ، رَبِّ أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنَ الكَسَلِ وَسُوءِ الكِبَرِ، رَبِّ أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ عَذَابٍ فِي النَّارِ وَعَذَابٍ فِي القَبْرِ».

"We have reached the morning and in this morning all sovereignty belongs to Allah, and all praise is due to Allah. There is no god but Allah, alone, without a partner, to Him belongs all sovereignty and all praise and He is Competent over all things. My Lord, I ask You for the good of this day and the good of what follows it, and I seek refuge in You from the evil of this day and the evil of what follows it. My Lord, I seek refuge in You from laziness and woeful aging. My Lord, I seek refuge in You from torment in Hellfire and punishment in the grave."103

In the evening one should say:

«أَمْسَيْنَا وَأَمْسَى الْمُلْكُ لِلَّهِ، وَالحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ، لَا إِلَهَ إلَّا اللَّهُ وَحْدَهُ لَا شَرِيكَ لَهُ، لَهُ الْمُلْكُ وَلَهُ الحَمْدُ وَهُوَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ، رَبِّ أَسْأَلُكَ خَيْرَ مَا فِي هَذِهِ اللَّيْلَةِ، وَخَيْرَ مَا بَعْدَهَا، وَأَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ شَرِّ مَا فِي هَذِهِ اللَّيْلَةِ، وَشَرِّ مَا بَعْدَهَا، رَبِّ أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنَ الكَسَلِ وَسُوءِ الكِبَرِ، رَبِّ أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ عَذَابٍ فِي النَّارِ وَعَذَابٍ فِي القَبْرِ».

«اللَّهُمَّ بِكَ أَصْبَحْنَا، وَبِكَ أَمْسَيْنَا، وَبِكَ نَحْيَا، وَبِكَ نَمُوتُ وَإِلَيْكَ النُّشُورُ».

"O Allah, with Your Power we have reached the morning, with Your Power we reach the evening, with Your Power we live and we die, and to You will be the resurrection."105

In the evening he says:

«اللَّهُمَّ بِكَ أَمْسَيْنَا، وَبِكَ أَصْبَحْنَا، وَبِكَ نَحْيَا، وَبِكَ نَمُوتُ، وَإِلَيْكَ الْمَصِيرُ».

«اللَّهُمَّ أَنْتَ رَبِّي لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ، خَلَقْتَنِي وَأَنَا عَبْدُكَ، وَأَنَا عَلَى عَهْدِكَ وَوَعْدِكَ مَا اسْتَطَعْتُ، أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ شَرِّ مَا صَنَعْتُ، أَبُوءُ لَكَ بِنِعْمَتِكَ عَلَيَّ، وَأَبُوءُ بِذَنْبِي فَاغْفِرْ لِي فَإِنَّهُ لَا يَغْفِرُ الذُّنُوبَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ».

"O Allah, You are my Lord, there is no deity worthy of worship except You. You created me and I am Your slave. I will abide by Your covenant and promise as much as I can. I seek refuge with You from the evil of what I have done. I admit107 Your favor upon me and admit my sin. So, forgive me, for indeed, none forgives sins but You."108

«اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَصْبَحْتُ أُشْهِدُكَ، وَأُشْهِدُ حَمَلَةَ عَرْشِكَ، وَمَلَائِكَتِكَ، وَجَمِيعَ خَلْقِكَ، أَنَّكَ أَنْتَ اللَّهُ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ وَحْدَكَ لَا شَرِيكَ لَكَ، وَأَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا عَبْدُكَ وَرَسُولُكَ».

"O Allah, I have reached the morning and call on You, the bearers of Your Throne, Your angels, and all of Your creation to bear witness that You are Allah, none has the right to be worshiped except You, alone without partner, and that Muhammad is Your slave and messenger."

Four times.109

In the evening he says:

«اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَمْسَيْتُ أُشْهِدُكَ، وَأُشْهِدُ حَمَلَةَ عَرْشِكَ، وَمَلَائِكَتِكَ، وَجَمِيعَ خَلْقِكَ، أَنَّكَ أَنْتَ اللَّهُ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ وَحْدَكَ لَا شَرِيكَ لَكَ، وَأَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا عَبْدُكَ وَرَسُولُكَ».

"O Allah, I have reached the evening and call on You, the bearers of Your Throne, Your angels, and all of Your creation to bear witness that You are Allah, none has the right to be worshiped except You, alone without partner, and that Muhammad is Your slave and Messenger."

«اللَّهُمَّ مَا أَصْبَحَ بِي مِنْ نِعْمَةٍ أَوْ بِأَحَدٍ مِنْ خَلْقِكَ فَمِنْكَ وَحْدَكَ لَا شَرِيكَ لَكَ، فَلَكَ الحَمْدُ وَلَكَ الشُّكْرُ».

"O Allah, whatever blessing I or any of Your creation have in this morning, it is from You alone, without any partner; so, to You belongs all praise, and unto You is all thanks."111

In the evening he says:

«اللَّهُمَّ مَا أَمْسَى بِي مِنْ نِعْمَةٍ أَوْ بِأَحَدٍ مِنْ خَلْقِكَ فَمِنْكَ وَحْدَكَ لَا شَرِيكَ لَكَ، فَلَكَ الحَمْدُ وَلَكَ الشُّكْرُ».

"O Allah, grant me wellness in my body. O Allah, grant me wellness in my hearing. O Allah, grant me wellness in my sight. There is no deity worthy of worship except You. O Allah, I seek refuge with You from disbelief and poverty, and I seek refuge with You from the punishment of the grave. There is no deity worthy of worship except You."

Three times.113

«حَسْبِيَ اللَّهُ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا هُوَ عَلَيهِ تَوَكَّلتُ وَهُوَ رَبُّ العَرْشِ العَظِيمِ».

"Allah is sufficient for me; no deity has the right to be worshiped except Him. Upon Him I rely, and He is the Lord of the Mighty Throne."

Seven times.114

«اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ العَفْوَ وَالعَافِيَةَ فِي الدُّنْيَا وَالآخِرَةِ، اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ العَفْوَ وَالعَافِيَةَ: فِي دِينِي وَدُنْيَايَ وَأَهْلِي، وَمَالِي، اللَّهُمَّ اسْتُرْ عَوْرَاتِي، وَآمِنْ رَوْعَاتِي، اللَّهُمَّ احْفَظْنِي مِنْ بَينِ يَدَيَّ، وَمِنْ خَلْفِي، وَعَنْ يَمِينِي، وَعَنْ شِمَالِي، وَمِنْ فَوْقِي، وَأَعُوذُ بِعَظَمَتِكَ أَنْ أُغْتَالَ مِنْ تَحْتِي».

"O Allah, I ask You for pardon and well-being in this life and the Hereafter. O Allah, I ask You for pardon and well-being in my religious and worldly affairs, and my family and my wealth. O Allah, conceal my faults and set at ease my dismay. O Allah, protect me from the front and from behind, and from my right and from my left and from above, and I seek refuge with Your Greatness lest I be destroyed from beneath me."115

«اللَّهُمَّ عَالِمَ الغَيْبِ وَالشَّهَادَةِ فَاطِرَ السَّمَوَاتِ وَالأَرْضِ، رَبَّ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ وَمَلِيكَهُ، أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ، أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ شَرِّ نَفْسِي، وَمِنْ شَرِّ الشَّيْطانِ وَشَرَكِهِ، وَأَنْ أَقْتَرِفَ عَلَى نَفْسِي سُوءًا، أَوْ أَجُرَّهُ إِلَى مُسْلِمٍ».

"O Allah, Knower of the unseen and the seen, Originator of the heavens and the earth, Lord of everything and its Possessor. I bear witness that there is no deity worthy of worship except You. I seek refuge with You from the evil of my own self, from the evil of Satan and his traps and temptations, and from committing wrong against myself or bringing it upon another Muslim."116

«بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الَّذِي لَا يَضُرُّ مَعَ اسْمِهِ شَيْءٌ فِي الأَرْضِ وَلَا فِي السَّمَاءِ وَهُوَ السَّمِيعُ العَلِيمُ».

"In the Name of Allah, with Whose name nothing in the earth or the heaven can cause harm, and He is the All-Hearing, the All-Knowing."

Three times.117

"O the Ever-Living, the Self-Sustaining, by Your mercy I seek relief. Set right all my affairs and do not leave me to myself for the blink of an eye."119

«أَصْبَحْنَا وَأَصْبَحَ المُلْكُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ العَالَمِينَ، اللَّهُـمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ خَيْرَ هَذَا اليَوْمِ: فَتْحَهُ، وَنَصْرَهُ، وَنورَهُ، وَبَرَكَتَهُ، وَهُدَاهُ، وَأَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ شَرِّ مَا فِيهِ وَشَرِّ مَا بَعْدَهُ».

"We have reached the morning, and all dominion belongs to Allah, the Lord of the worlds. O Allah, I ask You for the good of this day: its success, victory, light, blessing, and guidance; and I seek refuge with You from its evil and the evil of what comes after it."120

And in the evening, he says:

«أَمْسَيْنَا وَأَمْسَى المُلْكُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ العَالَمِينَ، اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ خَيْرَ هَذِهِ اللَّيْلَةِ: فَتْحَهَا، وَنَصْرَهَا، وَنُورَهَا، وَبَرَكَتَهَا، وَهُدَاهَا، وَأَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ شَرِّ مَا فِيهَا، وَشَرِّ مَا بَعْدَهَا».

«أَصْبَحْنا عَلَى فِطْرَةِ الإِسْلَامِ، وَعَلَى كَلِمَةِ الإِخْلاَصِ، وَعَلَى دِينِ نَبِيِّنَا مُحَمَّدٍ ﷺ، وَعَلَى مِلَّةِ أَبِينَا إِبْرَاهِيمَ، حَنِيفًا مُسْلِمًا وَمَا كَانَ مِنَ المُشرِكِينَ».

"We have reached the morning upon the natural disposition of Islam, upon the word of sincerity (the testimony of faith), upon the religion of our Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ), and upon the creed of our father Abraham, inclining toward truth, a Muslim, and he was not one of the polytheists."122

28. Adhkār of sleep

One should join his palms closely, blow breath in them, and recite in them:

﴿قُلۡ هُوَ ٱللَّهُ أَحَدٌ1 ٱللَّهُ ٱلصَّمَدُ2 لَمۡ يَلِدۡ وَلَمۡ يُولَدۡ3 وَلَمۡ يَكُن لَّهُۥ كُفُوًا أَحَدُۢ4﴾

{Say: “He is Allah, the One;

Allah, the Eternal Refuge,

He neither begets nor is He begotten,

and there is none comparable to Him.”} [Surat al-Ikhlās: 1-4].

﴿قُلۡ أَعُوذُ بِرَبِّ ٱلۡفَلَقِ1 مِن شَرِّ مَا خَلَقَ2 وَمِن شَرِّ غَاسِقٍ إِذَا وَقَبَ3 وَمِن شَرِّ ٱلنَّفَّٰثَٰتِ فِي ٱلۡعُقَدِ4 وَمِن شَرِّ حَاسِدٍ إِذَا حَسَدَ5﴾

{Say, “I seek refuge with the Lord of the daybreak,

from the harm of all what He has created;

from the harm of darkening [night] when it spreads around,

from the harm of the sorceresses who blow on knots,

and from the harm of the envier when he envies."}

[Surat al-Falaq: 1-5].

﴿قُلۡ أَعُوذُ بِرَبِّ ٱلنَّاسِ1 مَلِكِ ٱلنَّاسِ2 إِلَٰهِ ٱلنَّاسِ3 مِن شَرِّ ٱلۡوَسۡوَاسِ ٱلۡخَنَّاسِ4 ٱلَّذِي يُوَسۡوِسُ فِي صُدُورِ ٱلنَّاسِ5 مِنَ ٱلۡجِنَّةِ وَٱلنَّاسِ6﴾

{Say, “I seek refuge with the Lord of mankind,

the Sovereign of mankind,

the God of mankind,

from the harm of the lurking whisperer,

who whispers into the hearts of mankind,

from among jinn and mankind.”}

[Surat an-Nās: 1-6]

Then one should wipe by them whatever he could reach of his body, starting with his head, face, and front parts of his body. (This is to be done three times)133.

﴿ٱللَّهُ لَآ إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَ ٱلۡحَيُّ ٱلۡقَيُّومُۚ لَا تَأۡخُذُهُۥ سِنَةٞ وَلَا نَوۡمٞۚ لَّهُۥ مَا فِي ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَمَا فِي ٱلۡأَرۡضِۗ مَن ذَا ٱلَّذِي يَشۡفَعُ عِندَهُۥٓ إِلَّا بِإِذۡنِهِۦۚ يَعۡلَمُ مَا بَيۡنَ أَيۡدِيهِمۡ وَمَا خَلۡفَهُمۡۖ وَلَا يُحِيطُونَ بِشَيۡءٖ مِّنۡ عِلۡمِهِۦٓ إِلَّا بِمَا شَآءَۚ وَسِعَ كُرۡسِيُّهُ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلۡأَرۡضَۖ وَلَا يَـُٔودُهُۥ حِفۡظُهُمَاۚ وَهُوَ ٱلۡعَلِيُّ ٱلۡعَظِيمُ255﴾

{Allah: there is no true god except Him, the Ever-Living, All-Sustaining. Neither drowsiness overtakes Him nor sleep. To Him belongs all that is in the heavens and all that is on earth. Who is there that can intercede with Him except with His permission? He knows what was before them and what will be after them, while they encompass nothing of His knowledge, except what He wills. His Kursī [i.e., footstool] extends over the heavens and earth, and safeguarding of both does not weary Him, for He is the Most High, the Most Great.}

[Surat al-Baqarah: 255]134.

﴿ءَامَنَ ٱلرَّسُولُ بِمَآ أُنزِلَ إِلَيۡهِ مِن رَّبِّهِۦ وَٱلۡمُؤۡمِنُونَۚ كُلٌّ ءَامَنَ بِٱللَّهِ وَمَلَٰٓئِكَتِهِۦ وَكُتُبِهِۦ وَرُسُلِهِۦ لَا نُفَرِّقُ بَيۡنَ أَحَدٖ مِّن رُّسُلِهِۦۚ وَقَالُواْ سَمِعۡنَا وَأَطَعۡنَاۖ غُفۡرَانَكَ رَبَّنَا وَإِلَيۡكَ ٱلۡمَصِيرُ285 لَا يُكَلِّفُ ٱللَّهُ نَفۡسًا إِلَّا وُسۡعَهَاۚ لَهَا مَا كَسَبَتۡ وَعَلَيۡهَا مَا ٱكۡتَسَبَتۡۗ رَبَّنَا لَا تُؤَاخِذۡنَآ إِن نَّسِينَآ أَوۡ أَخۡطَأۡنَاۚ رَبَّنَا وَلَا تَحۡمِلۡ عَلَيۡنَآ إِصۡرٗا كَمَا حَمَلۡتَهُۥ عَلَى ٱلَّذِينَ مِن قَبۡلِنَاۚ رَبَّنَا وَلَا تُحَمِّلۡنَا مَا لَا طَاقَةَ لَنَا بِهِۦۖ وَٱعۡفُ عَنَّا وَٱغۡفِرۡ لَنَا وَٱرۡحَمۡنَآۚ أَنتَ مَوۡلَىٰنَا فَٱنصُرۡنَا عَلَى ٱلۡقَوۡمِ ٱلۡكَٰفِرِينَ286﴾

{The Messenger believes in what has been sent down to him from his Lord, as do the believers. All of them believe in Allah, His angels, His Books, and His messengers, [saying], “We make no distinction between any of His messengers.” And they say, “We hear and obey. Grant us Your forgiveness, our Lord, and to You is the [final] destination.”

Allah does not burden any soul greater than it can bear. For it is what it has earned, and against it is what it has incurred. “Our Lord, do not hold us accountable if we forget or fall into error. Our Lord, do not place on us such a burden as You have placed on those before us. Our Lord, do not burden us with that which we cannot bear. Pardon us, forgive us, and have mercy on us. You are our Protector, so give us victory over the disbelieving people.”}

[Surat al-Baqarah: 285-286]135.

«بِاسْمِكَ رَبِّي وَضَعْتُ جَنْبِي، وَبِكَ أَرْفَعُهُ، فَإِنْ أَمْسَكْتَ نَفْسِي فَارْحَمْهَا، وَإِنْ أَرْسَلْتَهَا فَاحْفَظْهَا، بِمَا تَحْفَظُ بِهِ عِبَادَكَ الصَّالِحِينَ».

"By Your name136, my Lord, I lay down my side, and by You I raise it. If You take my soul, then have mercy on it, and if You send it back, then protect it with what You protect Your righteous servants."137

«اللَّهُمَّ إِنَّكَ خَلَقْتَ نَفْسِي وَأَنْتَ تَوَفَّاهَا، لَكَ مَمَاتُهَا وَمَحْياهَا، إِنْ أَحْيَيْتَهَا فَاحْفَظْهَا، وَإِنْ أَمَتَّهَا فَاغْفِرْ لَهَا، اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ العَافِيَةَ».

"O Allah, You created my soul and You take it in death. To You belongs its death and its life. If You let it live, then protect it, and if You cause it to die, then forgive it. O Allah, I ask You for wellness."138

«اللَّهُمَّ قِنِي عَذَابَكَ يَوْمَ تَبْعَثُ عِبَادَكَ».

"O Allah, protect me139 from Your punishment when You resurrect Your slaves."140

"When a man visits his Muslim brother, he walks in the meadows of Paradise until he sits, and when he sits, mercy envelops him.

The Prophet (ﷺ) at the time of his death would insert his hands into the water and wipe his face with them, and say:

«لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ

“There is no god but Allah”

إِنَّ لِلْمَوْتِ سَكَرَاتٍ».

“Indeed, death has its throes.”194

«لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَاللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ، لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَحْدَهُ، لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَحْدَهُ لَا شَرِيكَ لَهُ، لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ لَهُ المُلْكُ وَلَهُ الحَمْدُ، لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَلَا حَوْلَ وَلَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللَّهِ».

"There is no god but Allah, and Allah is the Greatest. There is no god but Allah alone. There is no god but Allah alone Who has no partner.

The Prophet (ﷺ) said:

«خَيْرُ الدُّعَاءِ دُعَاءُ يَوْمِ عَرَفَةَ، وَخَيْرُ مَا قُلْتُ أَنَا وَالنَّبيُّونَ مِنْ قَبْلِي:

"The best supplication is the supplication on the Day of ‘Arafah, and the best statement I and the prophets before me have said is:"

لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَحْدَهُ لَا شَرِيكَ لَهُ، لَهُ المُلْكُ وَلَهُ الحَمْدُ وَهُوَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ».

There is no deity worthy of worship except Allah alone, Who has no partner, to Him belongs the sovereignty, to Him belongs the praise, and He is Competent over all things."283 “The Prophet (ﷺ) mounted Al-Qaswā’ (his she-camel) until he came to Al-Mash‘ar Al-Harām. He faced the Qiblah, invoked Allah, proclaimed His greatness, glorified Him, and declared His oneness. He remained standing until it became very bright, and then he departed before the sun rose.”284 "He says Takbīr with each pebble he throws at the three Jamrahs. Then, he advances and stands to supplicate, facing the Qiblah, raising his hands after the first and second Jamrahs. As for Jamrat al-‘Aqabah, he throws it, saying Takbīr with each pebble, and then departs without standing there."285

120. Dhikr at Al-Mash‘ar Al-Harām (in Muzdalifah)

121. Making Takbīr upon throwing the Jamrahs with every pebble

122. Supplication of amazement and delightful matter

«سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ!».

"Glory be to Allah!"286

«اللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ!».

"Allah is the Greatest!"287

123. What one should do when something pleasant occurs

«كَانَ النَّبيُّ ﷺ إِذَا أَتَاهُ أَمْرٌ يَسُرُّهُ أَوْ يُسَرُّ بِهِ خَرَّ سَاجِدًا شُكْرًا لِلَّهِ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى».

"Whenever the Prophet (ﷺ) received good news or was pleased by something, he would fall down in prostration out of gratitude to Allah, Blessed and Exalted."288

124. What to do and say when one feels pain in his body

«ضَعْ يَدَكَ عَلَى الَّذِي تَألَّمَ مِنْ جَسَدِكَ وَقُلْ:

“Place your hand on the part of your body where you feel the pain and say:"

بِسْمِ اللَّهِ،

In the name of Allah,

ثَلَاثًا،

Three times,

وَقُلْ سَبْعَ مَرَّاتٍ:

And say seven times:

أَعُوذُ بِاللَّهِ وَقُدْرَتِهِ مِنْ شَرِّ مَا أَجِدُ وَأُحَاذِرُ».

I seek refuge with Allah and His power from the evil of what I find and what I fear."289.

125. Supplication if one fears to affect something with an evil eye

«إِذَا رَأَى أَحَدُكُم مِنْ أَخِيهِ، أَوْ مِنْ نَفْسِهِ، أَوْ مِنْ مَالِهِ مَا يُعْجِبُهُ [فَلْيَدْعُ لَهُ بِالْبَرَكَةِ] فَإِنَّ العَيْنَ حَقٌّ».

"If any of you sees something from his brother, himself, or his wealth which he finds amazing, let him invoke blessings for it, for the evil eye is certainly true."290

126. Dhikr at times of panic

«لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ!».

"There is no god but Allah."291

127. What to say upon slaughtering or sacrificing

«بِسْمِ اللَّهِ وَاللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ [اللَّهُمَّ مِنْكَ وَلَكَ] اللَّهُمَّ تَقَبَّلْ مِنِّي».

"In the name of Allah and Allah is the Greatest. [O Allah, it is from You and for You]. O Allah, accept it from me."292

128. What to say to repel the plots of the rebellious devils

«أَعُوذُ بكَلِمَاتِ اللَّهِ التَّامَّاتِ الَّتِي لَا يُجَاوِزُهُنَّ بَرٌّ وَلَا فَاجِرٌ: مِنْ شَرِّ مَا خَلَقَ، وَبَرَأَ وَذَرَأَ، وَمِنْ شَرِّ مَا يَنْزِلُ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ، وَمِنْ شَرِّ مَا يَعْرُجُ فيهَا، وَمِنْ شَرِّ مَا ذَرَأَ فِي الأَرْضِ، وَمِنْ شَرِّ مَا يَخْرُجُ مِنْهَا، وَمِنْ شَرِّ فِتَنِ اللَّيْلِ وَالنَّهَارِ، وَمِنْ شَرِّ كُلِّ طَارِقٍ إِلَّا طَارِقًا يَطْرُقُ بِخَيْرٍ يَا رَحْمَنُ».

"I seek refuge with the perfect words of Allah that neither a righteous nor a wicked person can exceed: from the evil of what He created, and originated, and spread, and from the evil of what descends from the heaven, and from the evil of what ascends therein, and from the evil of what He spread in the earth, and from the evil of what comes out of it, and from the evil of the trials of the night and the day, and from the evil of every visitor except for one that knocks with good, O Most Merciful."293

129. Istighfār (seeking forgiveness) and repentance

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said:

«وَاللَّهِ إِنِّي لأَسْتَغفِرُ اللَّهَ وَأَتُوبُ إِلَيْهِ فِي اليَوْمِ أَكْثَرَ مِنْ سَبْعِينَ مَرَّةٍ».

"By Allah, I ask Allah for forgiveness and repent to Him more than seventy times a day."294

And the Prophet (ﷺ) said:

«يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ تُوبُوا إِلَى اللَّهِ فَإِنِّي أَتُوبُ فِي اليَوْمِ إِلَيْهِ مِائَةَ مَرَّةٍ».

"O people, repent to Allah, for I repent to Him one hundred times a day."295

The Prophet (ﷺ) said:

«مَنْ قَالَ:

Whoever says:

أَسْتَغْفِرُ اللَّهَ العَظيمَ الَّذِي لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا هُوَ الحَيُّ القَيُّوُمُ وَأَتُوبُ إِلَيهِ،

I seek forgiveness from Allah the Magnificent. There is none worthy of worship except Him. He is the Ever-Living and the Sustainer of all existence. And I do repent to Him,

غَفَرَ اللَّهُ لَهُ وَإِنْ كَانَ فَرَّ مِنَ الزَّحْفِ».

Allah will forgive him even if he has fled from the battlefield."296

And the Prophet (ﷺ) said:

«أَقْرَبُ مَا يَكُونُ الرَّبُّ مِنَ العَبْدِ فِي جَوْفِ اللَّيْلِ الآخِرِ فَإِنِ اسْتَطَعْتَ أَنْ تَكُونَ مِمَّنْ يَذْكُرُ اللَّهَ فِي تِلْكَ السَّاعَةِ فَكُنْ».

"The nearest the Lord to a servant is in the middle of the last part of the night. So, if you can be among those who remember Allah at that hour, then do so."297

And the Prophet (ﷺ) said:

«أَقْرَبُ مَا يَكُونُ العَبْدُ مِنْ رَبِّهِ وَهُوَ سَاجِدٌ فَأَكثِرُوا الدُّعَاءَ».

"The nearest a slave is to his Lord when he is prostrating, so engage in supplication diligently."298

And the Prophet (ﷺ) said:

«إِنَّهُ لَيُغَانُ عَلَى قَلْبِي وَإِنِّي لأَسْتَغْفِرُ اللَّهَ فِي اليَوْمِ مِائَةَ مَرَّةٍ».

“Sometimes I perceive a veil covering my heart, and I ask Allah for forgiveness a hundred times a day.”299

130. The merit of Tasbīh (glorifying Allah), Tahmīd (praising Him), Tahlīl (proclaiming His oneness), and Takbīr (proclaiming His greatness)

The Prophet (ﷺ) said:

«مَنْ قَالَ:

"Whoever says:

سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ وَبِحَمْدِهِ

Glory be to Allah and His is the praise

فِي يَوْمٍ مِائَةَ مَرَّةٍ حُطَّتْ خَطَايَاهُ وَلَوْ كَانَتْ مِثْلَ زَبَدِ البَحْر».

one hundred times a day, his sins will be erased even if they were as much as the foam of the sea."300.

And the Prophet (ﷺ) said:

«مَنْ قَالَ:

"Whoever says:

لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَحْدَهُ لَا شَرِيكَ لَهُ، لَهُ المُلْكُ، وَلَهُ الحَمْدُ، وَهُوَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ

There is no deity worthy of worship except Allah alone, Who has no partner, to Him belongs the sovereignty, to Him belongs the praise, and He is Competent over all things.

عَشْرَ مِرَارٍ، كَانَ كَمَنْ أَعْتَقَ أَرْبَعَةَ أَنْفُسٍ مِنْ وَلَدِ إِسْمَاعِيلَ».

ten times, it will be as though he emancipated four slaves from the offspring of Ismā‘īl (Ishmael)."301

The Prophet (ﷺ) said:

«كَلِمَتَانِ خَفِيفَتَانِ عَلَى اللِّسَانِ، ثَقِيلَتَانِ فِي المِيزَانِ، حَبِيبَتَانِ إِلَى الرَّحْمَنِ:

"There are two phrases that are light on the tongue, heavy on the scale, and dear to the Most Merciful:

سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ وَبِحَمْدِهِ، سُبْحانَ اللَّهِ العَظِيمِ».

"Glory be to Allah and praise is His, glory be to Allah the Most Magnificent"302.

And the Prophet (ﷺ) said:

«لَأَنْ أَقُولَ:

"For me to say:

سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ، وَالحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ، وَلَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ، وَاللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ،

Glory be to Allah, and praise be to Allah, and there is no deity worthy of worship but Allah, and Allah is the Greatest,

أَحَبُّ إِلَيَّ مِمَّا طَلَعَتْ عَلَيْهِ الشَّمسُ».

is dearer to me than everything upon which the sun rises."303

The Prophet (ﷺ) said:

«أَيَعْجِزُ أَحَدُكُم أَنْ يَكْسِبَ كُلَّ يَوْمٍ أَلْفَ حَسَنَةٍ»

“Is anyone of you unable to earn a thousand good deeds each day?” One of those present asked him: "How can one of us earn a thousand good deeds?" He replied:

«يُسَبِّحُ مِائَةَ تَسْبِيحَةٍ، فَيُكتَبُ لَهُ أَلْفُ حَسَنَةٍ أَوْ يُحَطُّ عَنْهُ أَلْفُ خَطِيئَةٍ».

“He glorifies Allah a hundred times, and thus a thousand good deeds will be recorded for him, or a thousand sins will be erased from him.”304.

«مَنْ قَالَ:

"Whoever says:

سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ العَظِيمِ وَبِحَمْدِهِ

Glory and praise be to Allah the Most Magnificent

غُرِسَتْ لَهُ نَخْلَةٌ فِي الجَنَّةِ».

a date palm will be planted for him in Paradise."305

And the Prophet (ﷺ) said:

«يَا عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ قَيْسٍ أَلَا أَدُلُّكَ عَلَى كَنْزٍ مِنْ كُنُوزِ الجَنَّةِ؟»

“O Abdullah ibn Qays, shall I guide you to one of the treasures of Paradise?” I said: “Yes, O Messenger of Allah!” He said:

«قُلْ:

"Say:

لَا حَوْلَ وَلَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللَّهِ».

There is no might or strength except through Allah."306

And the Prophet (ﷺ) said:

«أَحَبُّ الكَلَامِ إِلَى اللَّهِ أَرْبَعٌ:

"The most beloved words to Allah are four:

سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ، وَالحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ، وَلَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ، وَاللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ،

Glory be to Allah, praise be to Allah, there is no deity worthy of worship but Allah, and Allah is the Greatest,

لَا يَضُرُّكَ بِأَيِّهِنَّ بَدَأتَ».

It does not matter which one you say first."307

A Bedouin came to the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) and said: "Teach me words that I can say." He said:

«قُلْ:

"Say:

لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَحْدَهُ لَا شَرِيكَ لَهُ، اللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ كَبِيرًا، وَالحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ كَثِيرًا، سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ رَبِّ العَالَمِينَ، لَا حَوْلَ وَلَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللَّهِ العَزِيزِ الحَكِيمِ»

"Lā ilāha illa Allah wahdahu lā sharīka lah; Allahu Akbar kabīra, wal-hamdu lillahi kathīra, subhān-Allahi Rabbil-‘ālamīn, lā hawla wa lā quwwata illā billahil-‘Azīzil-Hakīm (There is no god except Allah, the One, and He has no partner; Allah is Most Great and greatness is for Him. Abundant praise is due to Him. Glory be to Allah, the Lord of the worlds. There is no might nor power save with Allah, the All-Powerful, the All-Wise)."

He said: “So these are for my Lord; then what is for me?” He said:

«قُلْ:

"Say:

اللَّهُمَّ اغْفِرْ لِي، وَارْحَمْنِي، وَاهْدِنِي، وَارْزُقْنِي».

O Allah, forgive me, have mercy on me, guide me, and provide me with sustenance."308.

When someone embraced Islam, the Prophet (ﷺ) would teach him how to pray, then order him to supplicate to Allah by these words:

«اللَّهُمَّ اغْفِرِ لِي، وَارْحَمْنِي، وَاهْدِنِي، وَعَافِنِي وَارْزُقْنِي».

"O Allah, forgive me, have mercy on me, guide me, bestow wellness upon me, and provide me with sustenance."309

«إِنَّ أَفْضَلَ الدُّعَاءِ

"Indeed, the best supplication is:

الحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ،

All praise be to Allah

وَأَفْضَلَ الذِّكْرِ

And the best Dhikr is:

لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ».

There is no god but Allah."310

«البَاقِيَاتُ الصَّالِحَاتُ:

"The lasting righteous deeds are:

سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ، وَالحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ، وَلَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ، وَاللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ، وَلَا حَوْلَ وَلَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللَّه».

Glory be to Allah, all praise is due to Allah, there is no deity worthy of worship except Allah, Allah is the Greatest, and there is no might or power except through Allah."311

131. How did the Prophet (ﷺ) glorify Allah?

Abdullāh ibn Amr (may Allah be pleased with him) reported:

«رَأَيْتُ النَّبيَّ ﷺ يَعْقِدُ التَّسْبِيحَ» وفي زيادةٍ: «بِيَمِينِهِ».

"I saw the Prophet (ﷺ) counting Tasbīh," with an additional wording: "with his right hand"312.

132. Types of goodness and comprehensive etiquette

The Prophet (ﷺ) said:

«إِذَا كَانَ جُنْحُ اللَّيْلِ – أَوْ أَمْسَيْتُم – فَكُفُّوا صِبْيَانَـكُم، فَإِنَّ الشَّيَاطِينَ تَنْتَشِرُ حِينَئِذٍ، فَإِذَا ذَهَبَ سَاعَةٌ مِنَ اللَّيلِ فَخَلُّوهُمْ، وَأَغْلِقُوا الأَبْوَابَ وَاذْكُرُوا اسْمَ اللَّهِ؛ فَإِنَّ الشَّيطَانَ لَا يَفْتَحُ بَابًا مُغلَقًا، وَأَوْكُوا قِرَبَكُمْ، وَاذْكُرُوا اسْمَ اللَّهِ، وَخَمِّرُوا آنِيَتَكُم، وَاذْكُرُوا اسْمَ اللَّهِ، وَلَوْ أَنْ تَعْرُضُوا عَلَيْهَا شَيْئًا، وَأَطْفِئُوا مَصَابِيحَكُمْ».

"When the night falls–or when it is evening–restrain your children, for the devils spread out at that time. When an hour of the night has passed, release them, and close the doors while mentioning the name of Allah, for the devil does not open a closed door. Fasten your waterskins and mention the name of Allah, cover your vessels and mention the name of Allah, even if you only place something over them, and turn off your lamps."313

May Allah’s peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and all his Companions.
