Daily and Nightly Adhkaar (Du’a)
Out of the numerous Adhkaar, we have
selected the following ones, for they can be easily remembered and followed.
Ask Allah to help you say them regulary, but never give up, for there is
nothing as beneficial as they are.
What to Say in The Morning and in The Evening
When you wake up in the morning, you
should say: /alhamdu lil-laahil-ladee ahyaanaa
ba’da mamaatinaa, wa- ilaihin-nushuur
Translation
(Praise be to Allah, Who has given
us life after death (sleep), and to Him is resurrection).
You can also say: /alhamdu
lil-laahil-ladee aafaanee fee jismee, wa-radda
alayya ruuhi, wa-adina lee
bi-dikrih(i)
Translation
(Praise be to Allah, Who has made my
body sound, returned my soul into my body, and allowed me to remember Him).
Then you should recite Ayat Al-Kursi. According to the Hadith, if you recite it, “A
guard will be appointed for your protection, and no Satan will approach you till
the evening.” If you recite it in the evening, you will get the same protection
till the morning.
You should also recite Surat Al-Ikhlaas, Surat Al-Falaq and Surat
An-Nass. The Prophet said, “They (those Suras) are sufficient protection for
you against everything (harmful).
You should also say, mornings and evenings, what the Prophet
described as the best supplication for seeking Allah’s forgiveness: /allaahumma
anta rabbee, laa
ilaaha illaa anta,
khalaqtanee wa-anaa abduk(a),
wa-anaa alaa ahdika
wa-wa’dika mastaTa’t(u), a’uudu
bika min sharri
ma Sana’t(u), abuu-u
laka bini’matika alayya
wa-abuu-u laka bidambi,
faghfir lee, innahu
laa yaghfirud-dunuuba illaa
ant(a)/
Translation
(O Allah! You are my Lord, there is
no god but You. You created me and I am Your servant, and I try my best to keep
my covenant (faith) with You and to live in the hope of Your promise. I seek
refuge in You from the evil I have done. I acknowledge Your favors upon me and
I admit my sins. Please forgive me, for none forgives sins but You).
