Benefits of Du’a

O you who have believed, remember Allah with much remembrance, And exalt Him morning and afternoon [Al-Ahzab 42-42]

And when My servants ask you concerning Me, then surely I am very near; I answer the prayer of the supplicant when he calls on Me, so they should answer My call and believe in Me that they may walk in the right way. (Surat al-Baqara, 2:186)

Say: Call upon Allah or call upon, the Beneficent Allah; whichever you call upon, He has the best names; and do not utter your prayer with a very raised voice nor be silent with regard to it, and seek a way between these. (Surat al-Isra, 17:110)

1. The Remembrance of Allah is an immunization against HypocrisyIndeed, the hypocrites [think to] deceive Allah , but He is deceiving them. And when they stand for prayer, they stand lazily, showing [themselves to] the people and not remembering Allah except a little,[An Nisa:142]

Thus best way to save ourselves from hypocrisy and stay away from it is to increase the remembrance of Allah with our hearts and tongues

2. The Remembrance of Allah is most effective weapon to defeat our enemy, the shaytan

And whoever is blinded from remembrance of the Most Merciful - We appoint for him a devil, and he is to him a companion[Az-Zukhruf:36]

Special Time, Places & Situation To make Du’a

1. The last third of the NightAbu Hurairah (radiAllahu anhu) narrated that Allah’s Messenger (salAllahu alayhi wasalam) said: ‘In the last third of every night our Rabb (Cherisher and Sustainer) (Allah (Subhanahu wa Ta’ala)) descends to the lowermost heaven and says; “Who is calling Me, so that I may answer him? Who is asking Me so that may I grant him? Who is seeking forgiveness from Me so that I may forgive him?.”‘ [Sahih al-Bukhari, Hadith Qudsi]

Amr ibn Absah narrated that the Prophet said: ‘The closest any worshipper can be to His Lord is during the last part of the night, so if you can be amongst those who remember Allah at that time, then do so.’ [at-Tirmidhi, an-Nasa’i, al-Hakim – Sahih]

2. Late at nightWhen people are sleeping and busy with worldly pleasures Allah (Subhanahu wa Ta’ala) gives the believers an opportunity, or an answer hour if they can fight sleep and invoke Allah (Subhanahu wa Ta’ala) for whatever they need.

The Prophet (salAllahu alayhi wasalam) said: ‘There is at night an hour, no Muslim happens to be asking Allah any matter of this world or the Hereafter, except that he will be given it, and this (occurs) every night.’ [Muslim #757]

Special Time, Places & Situation To make Du’a.

3. Between Adhan and IqamahAnas (radiAllahu anhu) narrated that Allah’s Messenger (salAllahu alayhi wasalam) said: ‘A supplication made between the Adhan and Iqama is not rejected.’ [Ahmad, abu Dawud #521, at-Tirmidhi #212, Sahih al-Jami #3408, an-Nasai and Ibn Hibban graded it sahih (sound)]

4. An Hour o-n FridayNarrated Abu Hurairah (radiAllahu anhu): Allah’s Messenger (salAllahu alayhi wasalam) talked about Friday and said: ‘There is an hour o-n Friday and if a Muslim gets it while offering Salat (prayer) and asks something from Allah (Subhanahu wa Ta’ala), then Allah (Subhanahu wa Ta’ala) will definitely meet his demand.’ And he (the Prophet (salAllahu alayhi wasalam) pointed out the shortness of that particular time with his hands. [Sahih al-Bukhari]

Some have said that this hour is from the time the Imam (prayer’s leader) enters the mosque o-n Friday’s prayer until the prayer is over (ie between the two khutbahs), whereas others have said that it is the last hour of the day (ie after the Asr prayer until the Maghrib prayer).

(Note: when we say an hour here we do not mean the hour everyone knows (60 minutes) but an unspecified period of time because the time counters which we use today came after the Prophet (salAllahu alayhi wasalam) had died.


5. While Drinking Zamzam WaterJaber (radiAllahu anhu) narrated that Allah’s Messenger (salAllahu alayhi wasalam) said: ‘Zamzam water is for what it is drunk for.’ [Ahmad 3: 357 and Ibn Majah #3062]

This means that when you drink Zamzam water you may ask Allah (Subhanahu wa Ta’ala) for anything you like to gain or benefit from this water such as healing from illness…. etc.

6. While ProstratingAbu Hurairah (radiAllahu anhu) narrated that Allah’s Messenger (salAllahu alayhi wasalam), said: ‘The nearest a slave can be to his Lord is when he is prostrating, so invoke (supplicate) Allah (Subhanahu wa Ta’ala) much in it. [Muslim, abu Dawud, an-Nasa’i and others, Sahih al-Jami #1175]

When a Muslim is in his Salat (prayer) he is facing Allah (Subhanahu wa Ta’ala) and when he prostrates he is the nearest he can be to Allah (Subhanahu wa Ta’ala) so it is best to invoke Allah (Subhanahu wa Ta’ala) at this time. It is said that while in prostration, o-ne should not ask for worldy needs (ie a nice car, a new job, etc), but for the Hereafter.


7. When Waking Up at NightNarrated Ubada Bin As-Samit that Allah’s Messenger (salAllahu alayhi wasalam) said: ‘Whomever wakes up at night and says La ilaha illallahu wahdahu la shrika lahu lahulmulku, wa lahul hamdu, wa huwa ala kulli shai’in qadir. Alhamdu lillahi, wa subhanallahi wa la ilaha illallahu, wallah akbir, wa la hawla wala quwata illa billah (none has the right to be worshipped but Allah (Subhanahu wa Ta’ala) He is the o-nly o-ne who has no partners. His is the kingdom and all the praises are for Allah (Subhanahu wa Ta’ala) All the glories are for Allah (Subhanahu wa Ta’ala) And none has the right to be worshipped but Allah (Subhanahu wa Ta’ala) and Allah (Subhanahu wa Ta’ala) is the most Great and there is neither might nor power except with Allah (Subhanahu wa Ta’ala) and then says, Allahumma ighfir li (O Allah! Forgive me) or invokes Allah (Subhanahu wa Ta’ala), he will be responded to and if he makes ablution and performs Salat (prayer), his Salat (prayer) will be accepted. [Sahih al-Bukhari]

8. At The End Of The Obligatory Salat Narrated Abu Omamah (radiAllahu anhu): that Allah’s Messenger (salAllahu alayhi

wasalam) was asked, O Messenger of Allah, which supplication is heard (by Allah (Subhanahu wa Ta’ala), he said the end of the night and at the end of the obligatory Salat (prayer) [at-Tirmidhi]

This time is after saying ‘At-tahyat’ , and before making Tasleem (finishing prayer)


9. The Night Of ‘Qadr’ (Decree)This night is the greatest night of the year. This is the night which the almighty Allah (Subhanahu wa Ta’ala) said about it, “The night of Al-Qadar (Decree) is better than a thousand months.” [Surah al-Qadr, 97: 3]

The Night of Decree is o-ne of the odd nights of the last ten nights of the blessed month of Ramadan. The angels descend down to the earth, and the earth is overwhelmed with peace and serenity until the break of dawn and when he doors of Paradise are opened, the worshipper is encouraged to turn to Allah to ask for his needs for this world and the Hereafter.

10. During The Rain Narrated Sahel Ibn Sa’ad (radiAllahu anhu): that the Messenger of Allah (salAllahu alayhi

wasalam) said: ‘Two will not be rejected, Supplication when the Adhan (call of prayer) is being called, and at the time of the rain’. [Al-Hakim 2: 114, and Abu Dawud #2540, ibn Majah]

‘Seek the response to your du’as when the armies meet, and the prayer is called, and when rain falls’ [reported by Imam al-Shafi’ in al-Umm, al-Sahihah #1469]

The time of the rain is a time of mercy from Allah (Subhanahu wa Ta’ala) so, o-ne should take advantage of this time when Allah (Subhanahu wa Ta’ala) is having mercy o-n His slaves.


11. At the Adhan‘Seek the response to your du’as when the armies meet, and the prayer is called, and when rain falls’ [reported by Imam al-Shafi’ in al-Umm, al-Sahihah #1469]

In another hadith; ‘When the prayer is called, the doors of the skies are opened, and the du’a is answered’ [al-Tayalisi in his Musnad #2106, al-Sahihah #1413]

12. The one Who Is Suffering Injustice and Opression The Messenger of Allah (salAllahu alayhi wasalam) said to Mua’ad Ibn Jabal (radiAllahu

anhu), ‘Beware of the supplication of the unjustly treated, because there is no shelter or veil between it (the supplication of the o-ne who is suffering injustice) and Allah (Subhanahu wa Ta’ala)’ [Sahih Al-Bukhari and Muslim]

The prophet (salAllahu alayhi wasalam) declared, ‘Three men whose dua is never rejected (by Allah) are: the fasting person until he breaks his fast (in another narration, when he breaks fast), the just ruler and the o-ne who is oppressed.’[Ahmad, at-Tirmidhi – Hasan]

In another hadith; The Prophet (salAllahu alayhi wasalam) declared: ‘Three du’as are surely answered: The du’a of the oppressed, the du’a of the traveler, and the du’a of the father/mother (upon their child)’

The o-ne who is suffering injustice is heard by Allah (Subhanahu wa Ta’ala) when he invokes Allah (Subhanahu wa Ta’ala) to retain his rights from the unjust o-ne or oppressor. Allah (Subhanahu wa Ta’ala) has sworn to help the o-ne who is suffering from injustice sooner or later as the Messenger of Allah (salAllahu alayhi wasalam) said.


13. The TravelerThe Messenger of Allah (salAllahu alayhi wasalam) said; Three supplications will not be rejected (by

Allah (Subhanahu wa Ta’ala)), the supplication of the parent for his child, the supplication of the o-ne who is fasting, and the supplication of the traveler. [al-Bayhaqi, at-Tirmidhi – Sahih]

During travel supplication is heard by Allah (Subhanahu wa Ta’ala) if the trip is for a good reason, but if the trip is for a bad intention or to perform illegal things (making sins) this will not apply to it.

14. The Parent’s Supplication for their ChildThe Messenger of Allah (salAllahu alayhi wasalam) said; Three supplications will not be rejected (by Allah (Subhanahu wa Ta’ala)), the supplication of the parent for his child, the supplication of the o-ne who is fasting, and the supplication of the traveler. [al-Bayhaqi, at-Tirmidhi – Sahih]

When I sat down (in the final tashahhud), I praised Allah, then sent salams o-n the Prophet, then started praying for myself.

During this auspicious day, Allah does not refuse the requests of His worshippers.

18. Dua during the month of RamadanRamadan is month full of many blessings, thus the du’a of Ramadan is a blessed o-ne. This can be inferred from the Prophet (salAllahu alayhi wasalam) saying: ‘When Ramadan comes, the Doors of Mercy (another narration says Paradise) are opened, and the doors of Hell are closed, and the Sahitans are locked up’ Thus, it is clear that du’a during Ramadan has a greater chance of being accepted, as the Gates of Paradise and Mercy are opened.

In another narration: ‘Seek the response to your du’as when the armies meet, and the prayer is called, and when rain falls’[reported by Imam al-Shafi’ in al-Umm, al-Sahihah #1469]

20. When Muslims gather for the purpose of invoking and remembering Allah (Dhikrullah)The Prophet (salAllahu alayhi wasalam) said: If a group of people sit together remembering Allah, the angels will circle them, mercy will shroud them, peace will descend o-nto them and Allah will remember them among those with Him.

Dua of people after the death of a personIn a long hadith, Umm Salamah (radiAllahu anha) narrated that the Prophet (salAllahu alayhi wasalam) said, when Abu Salamah had just passed away, and had closed his eyes, ‘Do not ask for yourselves anything but good, for the angels will say ‘Ameen’ to all that you ask for.

And when he (the servant) says: The Most Compassionate, the Merciful, Allah the Most High says: My servant has lauded Me. When he (the servant) says: Master of the Day of Judgment, He remarks: My servant has glorified Me, and sometimes He will say: My servant entrusted (his affairs) to Me. When he (the worshipper) says: Thee do we worship and of Thee do we ask help, He (Allah) says: This is between Me and My servant, and My servant will receive what he asks for. Then, when he (the worshipper) says: Guide us to the straight path, the path of those to whom Thou hast been Gracious — not of those who have incurred Thy displeasure, nor of those who have gone astray, He (Allah) says: This is for My servant, and My servant will receive what he asks for. [Muslim 4: 395]


38. Saying ‘Ameen’ during prayer

After finishing the recitation of al-Fatihah, the saying of‘Ameen’ in congregation.The Prophet (salAllahu alayhi wasalam) said: ‘When the Imam says ‘Ameen’, then recite it behind him (as well), because whoever’s Ameen coincides with the Ameen of the angels will have all of his sins forgiven.’ [Sahih al-Bukhari #780, Muslim #410 and others]

39. While visiting the sick, and dua made by the sick

Umm Salamah narrated that the Prophet (salAllahu alayhi wasalam) said: ‘When you visit the sick, or the dead then say good, because the angels say ‘Ameen’ to whatever you say [Muslim #2126]

Ali (radiAllahu anhu) reported that the Prophet (salAllahu alayhi wasalam) said:‘When a Muslim visits his sick Muslim brother in the morning, seventy thousand angels make dua for his forgiveness till the evening. And when he visits him in the evening, seventy thousand angels make dua for his forgiveness till the morning, and he will be granted a garden for it in Jannah.’ [at-Tirmidhi, abu Dawud]

Reason For Dua To Be Accepted1. Ikhlas2. Strong Hope in Allah3. Repentance and Returning back the rights of People4. Doing the voluntary Deeds

My slave does not draw near to Me with anything more beloved to Me than the religious duties I have enjoined upon him, and My slave continues to draw near to Me with voluntary works until i love him, When I love him, I am his hearing with which he hears, he seeing with which he sees, his hand with which he strikes and his foot with which he walks. Were he to ask [something] of Me, I would surely give it to him, and were he to ask Me for refuge, I would surely grant him it.” (al-Bukhaari, 6502).

Dhikr - What is it?DHIKR is the remembrance of Allah. Every time we think of Allah, do Salaah, recite Quran, make a Dua, do Tasbeeh, mention Allah in conversation, we are doing Dhikr. There are also specific ways of doing Dhikr, as the Prophet(sws) taught us.

Importance/Benefits of Dhikr• Allah(swt) says: “O ye who believe! Let not your wealth or your children divert

you from the 'Dhikr' of Allah. If any act thus, the (severe) loss is their own!” [Surah Munafiqoon, Ayah 9]

• “Those who believe, their hearts find satisfaction in the 'Dhikr' of Allah: for without doubt, (only) in the 'Dhikr' of Allah do hearts find satisfaction!” [Surah Raad, Ayah 28]

• “If anyone withdraws himself from 'Dhikr' of (Allah) Most Gracious, We appoint for him a Shaytaan to be an intimate companion to him! [Surah Zukhruf, Ayah 36]

• And the Prophet(sws) said: “The difference between the one who remembers his Lord and the one who does not, is like the difference between a living and dead body.” [Sahih al-Bukhari 6407]

Why every Morning & Evening?

Because Allah(swt) says in Surah Ahzaab, Ayahs 41-42: “O ye who believe! Celebrate the 'Dhikr' (Remembrance) of Allah and do this (as)much (as possible); And glorify Him Morning and Evening.”

The Timing of the these Supplications

1. Opinion 1: Evening Supplications- From Asr till the SunsetsMorning Supplications – From Fajr till Sunrise

2. Opinion 2: Evening Supplications- From Zenith till the Sunsets, with first part of the nightMorning Supplications – From when dawn breaks until the sun passes the Zenith

3. Opinion 3: Evening Supplications- When Sun passes its Zzenith until halfway through the nightMorning Supplications – From the middle of the night until the time of Zawal

4. Conclusion: All Scholars Agree The best time for these supplications is between Asr and Maghrib in the evening and between Fajr and Sunrise in the morning; However, they differed concerning other times

“And glorify the praises of your Lord before the rising of the sun, and before its setting.” Ta-Ha, Ayah 130“And remember your Lord within yourself with humbleness and fear and without being loud in speech – in the mornings and the evenings,” Why do we recite certain supplications a specific number of times? Surah Al-Araf, Ayah 205

Why recite it a certain number of times?

• We do not know the reason why, but there is a hidden wisdom in following the Sunnah, as Allah(swt) says: “Indeed in the Messenger of Allah you have a good example to follow for him who hopes for (the meeting with) Allah and the Last Day, and remembers Allah much.” [Quran 33:21]

“And if you obey him(saw), you will be [rightly] guided.” [Quran 24:54]• The Dhikr as taught by Rasul(saw) is enough for us and we should avoid

innovating in matters of worship, as some people like to say, ‘Recite such and such so many times’, but they have no basis for it.

Ayatul KursiSurah Al-Baqarah, Ayah 255

•Recite this:– Once every Morning & Evening– After every obligatory Salaah– Before you go to bed at night– In your houses

•Benefits/Wisdom:– You will be under Allah’s Protection till the next Salaah– Allah will send an angel to protect you till the night is over– No shaytan or harmful thing will come close to your house

•Proof/Hadith for the above:1. “Whoever recites Ayatul Kursi at the end of every obligatory salaah, he will be under the protection of Allah till the

next salaah.” [Classified as Hassan by Ibn al-Qayyim, as saheeh by Ibn Baz & as weak by al-Albani]2. “Whoever recites Ayatul Kursi after each Prescribed Salaah, nothing will be standing between him and Paradise

except death.” [Nasai’/Tabarani/classified as sahih by al-Albani]3. Story of Ubbay bin Ka’b and the jinn: Ubbay bin Ka’b(ra) stated that he used to have a room of dates. He suspected

that some dates were going missing. Thus one night he stood vigil and saw an animal like a young person. Ubbay(ra) said: “I greeted and received a reply”. I asked, “Who are you? A man or Jinn?” He said, “Jinn. I said, give me you hand”. He outstretched his hands. I noticed that the hand was like that of a dog. Its hair like the hair of the dog. I asked, “Are Jinns created like this?” He said, “The Jinns know that there is none among them who is stronger than me”. I inquired, “Why did you steal?” He replied, “I have come to know that you love to give charity so decided to take some of your food.

“Ubbay(ra) said: “What will save us from you? He said, ‘Ayatul Kursi which is in Surah al-Baqarah. He who reads it at night will be saved from our evil till the morning and he who reads it in the morning will be saved from our evil till the night’.”

Ubbay(ra) said: I went to the Messenger of Allah (sws) in the morning and told him about my story. He(sws) said: “The evil one has said the truth."[Nasai’/Ibn Hibban Tabarni/Al-Hakim] Lesson: Rasul(sws)’s approval of this made the reading of Ayatul Qursi every morning and evening a Sunnah.

4. The same story happened to Abu Huraira(ra)except that the shaytan appeared to him in the shape of a man. [Bukhari] Lesson: Read Ayatul Kursi before you go to bed, Allah will send an angel to protect you till the night is over.

5. The same story happened to Abu Ayoub al-Ansari(ra) with a female jinni (ghoul). [Ahmed/Tirmithi/classified as sahih by al-Albani] Lesson: Recite Ayatul-Kursi in your house and no shaytan will come close to it or anything harmful thing.

The Greatest Ayah in the QuranUbayy bin Ka'b (radiAllahu anhu) reported: The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said: "Abu Mundhir! Do you know which Ayah in Allah's Book is the greatest? I said: 'Allah and His messenger know best.' He (peace be upon him) again said: 'Do you know which Ayah in Allah's Book, according to you, is the greatest?' I (Abu Mundhir) replied: ‘It is 'Allah la ilaha illa Huwal-Hayyul-Qayyum'.[2:255]. Thereupon he (peace be upon him) patted me in the chest and said, ' Rejoice by your knowledge, O Abu Mundhir! (i.e, may this knowledge be a source of respect, honour and benefit to you)'." [Muslim]

The blessings of this verse is apparent from this hadith narrated by Abu Hurayrah. He said: The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w.) put me in charge of guarding the zakaah of Ramadaan. Someone came to me and started grabbing (taking illegally) handful of the food. I took hold of him and said, ‘I will take you to the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w.).’ He said, ‘I will teach you some words by means of which Allah will benefit you.’ I said, ‘What are they?’ He said, ‘When you go to your bed, recite this aayah: “Allah! Laa ilaaha illa Huwa (none has the right to be worshipped but He), Al-Hayyul-Qayyoom (the Ever Living, the One Who sustains and protects all that exists)…” [Surah al-Baqarah, 2:255]. Then Allah will appoint a guard for you who will stay with you and no Shaytan (devil) will come near you until morning.’ The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w.) asked me, ‘What did your prisoner do last night?’ I said, ‘O Messenger of Allah, he taught me something, and claimed that Allah would benefit me by it.’ He said, ‘What was it?’ I said, ‘He taught me to recite Aayat al-Kursiy when I go to bed, and said that no Shaytan would come near me until morning, and that Allah would appoint a guard for me who would stay with me.’ The prophet (s.a.w.) said, ‘He told you the truth, although he is an inveterate liar. That was the Shaytan’ [narrated by al-Bukhaari, 3101; Muslim, 505].

He used to do that three times. [Bukhari]

The Messenger of Allah(sws) said: “Whoever recites (this supplication) in the morning, then he has offered the thankfulness of the day, and whoever recites the same in the evening, he has conveyed gratitude for that evening.” [Abu Dawood, Ibn Hibaan and was classified as Hassan by Ibn Baaz].

6th SupplicationTranslated as: "O Allah, make me healthy in my body. Oh Allah preserve for me my hearing. Oh Allah preserve for me my sight. There is none worthy of worship with truth but You. O Allah I seek refuge in You from disbelief and poverty and I seek refuge in You from the punishment of the grave. There is none worthy of worship but You."

Transliteration: 'Allahumma' 'aafinee fee badanee, Allahumma 'aafinee fee sam'ee, Allahumma 'aafinee fee basaree, Laa 'ilaaha' 'illaa 'anta. Allaahumma 'innee 'a'oodhu bika minal-kufri, walfaqri, wa 'a'oodhu bika min 'adhaabil-qabri, laa 'ilaaha 'illaa 'Anta.

Recite:Three times every Morning and Evening

Wisdom/Benefit:Purifies & reaffirms one’s Tawheed

Good health from Allah

Protection with Allah from disbelief, poverty and punishment in the grave

Proof/Hadith of Dua:1. Narrated by AbdurRahman ibn Abee Bakra(ra): The son asked his father, why do you recite this dua every morning and

evening. The father replied: “I heard the Messenger of Allah(sws) using these words in his dua and like to follow his sunnah.” [Classified as hassan by Ibn Haja, Al-Albaani & Ibn Baaz in his tuhfah. Collected by Abu Dawood, Ahmed, An-Nasai in Amal Alyawm wa allailah & by Al-Bukhari in Al-Adab al-Mufrad].

But remember, we must also take care of the health that Allah has bestowed on us by eating healthy and living a healthy lifestyle. Don’t expect that a mere recitation of this dua whilst eating McDonalds 3 times a day, smoking tobacco and drinking alcohol or lots of fizzy drinks will give us good health.

7th SupplicationTranslated as: "Allah is sufficient for me. There is none worthy of worship, but Him. I have placed my trust in Him and He is the Lord of the Majestic Throne."

anything that concerns him.”

[It was collected by Ibn Assuni, Abu Dawood. The hadith of Abu Dawood is Mawqoof. Ibn Baaz, Shu’aib and AbdelKader Arnaout classified its isnaad as saheeh]. NB: Hadith Mawqoof: Statement made by a Sahaabi. Hadith Marfou: Statement made by Rasool(sws). Mawqoof is as authentic as Marfou as a Sahaabi would only make such a statement if he heard if from Rasul(sws)

2. Ibn Abbas(ra) said: “The dua (as above) was the last word of Ibrahim(as) after he was thrown in the fire, and it was recited by Muhammed(sws) when people told them (the hypocrites) “Verily the people are gathering against you, so fear them”. [Bukhari]

3. See also: Surah Ale Imran 3:174, 159; Surah Az-Zumar 39:36-38; Surah At-Talaaq 65:3

9th SupplicationTranslated as: "O Allah, Knower of the unseen and evident, Maker of the heavens and the earth, Lord of everything and its Possessor, I bear witness that there is none worthy of worship but You. I seek refuge in you from the evil of my soul and from the evil of shaytan and his helpers/shirk/plots. I seek refuge in You from bringing evil upon my soul and from harming any Muslim.”

Wisdom/Benefit:One uses the Beautiful Names of Allah to call upon Allah: Al-Aa’lim: The All Knowing, Al-Faatir: The Maker, Ar-Rabb: Lord,

Al-Maleek: The Possessor.

Refuge with Allah from all evil and shirk

Protection from harming any Muslim

Proof/Hadith:1. Narrated Abu Hurairah(ra) that Abu Bakr(ra) said: “Oh Messenger of Allah(sws), teach me few words I should recite in

the morning and evening. He said: “Say (the dua aside), say it in the morning, in the evening and when you go to bed.” [Ahmed/Abu Dawood/Tirmidhi and was classified as saheeh by an-Nawawi, Ibn al-Qayim & other scholar]

10th SupplicationTranslated as: "In the Name of Allah, Who with His Name nothing can cause harm neither in the earth nor in the heavens, and He is the All-Hearing, the All-Knowing."

Transliteration: 'Bismillaahil-ladhee laa yadhurru ma'as-mihi shay'un fil-'ardhi wa laa fis-samaa'i wa Huwas-Samee 'ul- 'Aleem.'

Recite this:3 times every Morning and Evening

Wisdom/Benefit:Protection with Allah from afflictions & calamities

Proof/Hadith:1. Narrated Aban ibn Othman who said: I heard Othamn ibn Affan(ra) saying: The Messenger of Allah(sws) said:

“Whoever recites it (the dua) three times in the morning of every day and the evening of every night, nothing will cause him any harm.” Or “He will not be afflicted by a sudden calamity till the morning and whoever recites it in the morning will not be afflicted by a sudden calamity till the evening.”

Aban was afflicted by some paralysis and when a man who heard the tradition began to look at him, he said to him: Why are you looking at me? I swear by Allah, I did not tell a lie about Othman, nor did Othman tell lie about the Prophet(sws), but that day when I was afflicted by it, I became angry and forgot to say them.” [Abu Dawood 5088] Collected by Tirmidhi 3388, classified by him as Saheeh, as well by ibn al-Qayyim, ibn-Baaz & al-Albaani in saheeh at Tagheeb 655]

2. Al-Qurtubi(ra) reported a similar story, he stated: “Since I heard this narration, I have acted upon it and nothing has harmed me until I left it off. When I left it off, I was stung by a scorpion in the city at night, and I remembered that I forgot to seek refuge in Allah with those words.”

Similar to 10th SupplicationTranslated as: "I seek refuge in the Perfect Words of Allah from the evil of what He has created."

Transliteration: 'A'oodhu bikalimaatil-laahit-taammaati min sharri maa khalaqa.'

Recite this:3 times every Evening and when one stops at a new place at any time, night or day

Wisdom/Benefit:Protection from afflictions and calamities

Proofs/Hadith:1. Abu Hurairah(ra) narrated that a man came to the Prophet(sws) and said, “O Messenger of Allah! Yesterday I was

bitten by a scorpion.” The Prophet(sws) said to him, “Had you said when you reached the evening: I seek refuge in the Perfect Words of Allah from the evil of what He has created, you would not have been harmed.” [Saheeh Muslim 2709]

2. Narrated Abu Hurairah(ra) that the Prophet(sws) said: “Whoever recites this dua 3 times in the evening, he will be protected from the stings of harmful insects or reptiles.” [Tirmidhi 3604, Ibn Majah and was classified as Saheeh by Ibn Hibaan & al_Albaani in Saheeh al-Jami’ 6427].

3. Suhail ibn Abee Saleh [one of the narrators of this hadith in the chain of at-Tirmidhi said: ‘My family members have learned this dua’ and kept reciting it every night. A young in the family was stung [by a snake or scorpion] and did not feel any pain.”

4. Khawla bint Hakeem (ra) narrated that she heard the Messenger of Allah(sws) saying: “Whoever visited an abode and said: “I seek refuge in the Most Perfect Words of Allah, from the evil of what He has created,2 no harm shall befall him until he departs from that place.” [Narrated by Muslim 2708]

11th SupplicationTranslated as: "I am pleased with Allah as my Lord, with Islam as my religion and with Muhammad(sws) as my Prophet.”

Transliteration: 'Radheetu billahi rabba, wa bil-islaami deena, wa bi-Muhammadin (sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallama) Nabiyyan.'

Recite this:3 times every Morning and Evening

Wisdom/Benefit:Rasul(sws) has promised the reciter of these words to be his guarantor on the of Day of Judgement and to take his hand

and not leave him till he enters Jannah

Whoever recites this 3 times morning and evening, will be pleased on Day of Resurrection

Whoever recites these words and believes in them, Jannah will be mandatory upon him and he will taste the sweetness of Iman

He who recites these words after Adhan, his minor sins will be forgiven

Gives us a sense of security through an Islamic Identity, not through material possessions, family lineage, beauty, or race etc.

Proofs/Hadiths:1. There is no Muslim servant who says in the morning and the evening three times: I am pleased with Allah as my Rabb, and with Islam as my religion and with Muhammed(sws) as a

Prophet, except that it will be a right upon Allah to please him on the Day of Judgement.” [Ahmed, Abu Dawood 5072, Ibn Maajah, Tirmidhi. Classified as Saheeh by al-Haakim, an-Nawawi, ath-Thahabi & classified as Hassan by ibn Hajar & Ibn Baaz in ‘Tuhfatul-akhyaar. Classified as weak by al-Albaani in Dhaeef al Jami 5734]

2. Narrated Abu Said al-Khudri(ra), the Messenger of Allah(sws) addressed him saying: Oh Aba Said! Whoever is pleased with Allah as his Lord, with Islam as his religion and with Muhammed(sws) as a Prophet, Jannah would be mandatory for him”. [Saheeh Muslim 1884]

3. “Whoever says in the morning: “I am pleased...(the same statement), then I will be his guarantor and indeed I will take him by his hand until I help him enter Jannah.” [Classified as Saheeh by al-Albaani 2686 & classified as Hassan by al-Haithami & al-Munthiri]

4. “Whoever says when he hears the Adhan: And I bear witness that there is none worthy of worship except Allah, Him Alone without any partner and I bear witness that Muhammad is His servant and Messenger. I am pleased with Allah as my lord, with Muhammad as a Messenger and with Islam as my religion. His sins will be forgiven.” [Saheeh Muslim 386]

***Our first identity, should be our Islamic Identity: “The strongest link of faith is to love someone in order to gain the pleasure of Allah...” [al-Iman by Ibn Abee Shaybah & it is Hassan]

12th SupplicationTranslated as: “O Ever living One, Oh Eternal One, by Your Mercy I call on You to set right all my affairs. Do not place me in charge of my soul for even the blinking of an eye.”

Transliteration: 'Yaa hayyu yaa Qayyoomu birahmatika 'astagheethu 'aslih lee sha'nee kullahu wa laa takilnee 'ilaa nafsee tarfata 'aynin.'


Wisdom/Benefit:You hand over your matters completely to Allah, trusting Him and expecting good in all that He decides for you, hence

removing depression and suffering from your lives,

This dua possibly contains the Greatest Names of Allah: Ya Hayyu, Ya Qayoom,

This is the advice of the best father to his beloved daughter Fatima(ra)

Proof/Hadith:1. It was a habit not to sleep after Fajr, so when Rasul(sws) went to see his daughter Fatima after Fajr, she had gone back

to sleep. So he(sws) awoke her and asked her why she had gone back to sleep. She replied that it was because she had not slept well. And the Rasul(sws) replied as narrated by Anas bin Malik(ra): “What is preventing you from listening to my advice? Keep saying in the morning and the evening: (the dua aside)” [Classified as Saheeh by al-Hakim, at-Thahabi, al-Munthiri & classified as Hassan by al-Albaani ]

But remember, tie your camel first, then have tawakkul!

13th SupplicationTranslated as: "We have entered a new day and with it all the dominion which belongs to Allah, Lord of all that exists. Oh Allah, I ask You for the goodness of this day, its help, its victory, its light, its blessings and its guidance. I seek refuge in You from the evil that is in it and from the evil that follows it."

Transliteration: 'Asbahnaa wa 'asbahal-mulku lillaahi Rabbil-'aalameen, Allaahumma 'innee 'as'aluka khayra haadhal-yawmi: Fathahu wa nasrahu wa noorahu, wa barakatahu, wa hudaahu, wa'a'oodhu bika min sharri maafeehi wa sharri maa ba'dahu'.

Recite this:Once very Morning and Evening

Wisdom/Benefit:Reciter affirms his faith in Allah as the Lord of all that exists,

Allah will bless you with the Goodness, the Help, the Victory, the Light, the Blessings & the Guidance of the day,

You will have Allah’s Protection from all evil of the day.

Proof/Hadith:1. Narrated Abu Malik al-Asha’ri (ra) that the Messenger of Allah (sws) said: “One of you should say in the morning: ‘...

(the dua) and he should say the same in the evening.” [Abu Dawood 5084 & it was classified as Hassan by Ibn al-Qayyim in Zaad al-Maad & by al-Albaani is Saheeh al-Jami 352]

14th SupplicationTranslated as: "We have entered a new day upon the natural religion of Islam, the word of sincere devotion, the religion of our Prophet Muhammed(sws), and the faith of our father Ibrahim. He was upright (in worshipping Allah) and a Muslim. He was not of those who worship others besides Allah."

Transliteration: 'Asbahnaa 'Alaa fitratil-'Islaami wa 'alaa kalimatil-'ikhlaasi, wa 'alaa deeni Nabiyyinaa Muhammadin (sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallama), wa 'alaa millati 'abeenaa 'Ibraaheema, haneefan Musliman wa maa kaana minal-mushrikeen'.


Wisdom/Benefit:Shaitan’s aim is to deviate people from their ‘fitrah’: natural religion of Ibrahim(as), so this statement challenges

shaytan’s efforts, It also confirms our faith in Allah.

Proof/Hadith:1. Narrated Abdur-Rahman ibn Abzah(ra) that the Prophet(sws) used to say in the morning and the evening: “...(the

dua)...” [Ahmed & Tabarani. Classified as Saheeh by an-Nawawi, Ibn Baaz & al-Albaani in Saheeh al-Jami 4674)

15th SupplicationTranslated as: "Glory is to Allah and all Praise is to Him" or "Allah is free from all imperfection and His is all Praise.”

Transliteration: 'Subhaan Allaahi wa bihamdihi.'

Recite:100 times every Morning and Evening

Wisdom/Benefit:Light to recite, but heavy with reward,

Allah loves for you to recite these words,

The reciter will have a palm tree planted for him in Paradise,

The one who recites this 100 times daily, will be forgiven all his sins (hence also a form of istigfaar),

If you cannot pray Tuhajjud, or spend in the way of Allah, or fight your enemy, then recite this frequently,

It is more beloved to Allah than a mountain of gold spent in the sake of Allah,

Reciting it provides relief from hardship,

Reciting this will quench one’s hunger during the time of ad-Dajjal

15th SupplicationProof/Hadith:1. Abu Hurairah reported that the Prophet, peace be upon him, said, "There are two phrases that are light on the tongue but heavy on the scale of rewards and are dear to (Allah) the Gracious One. These are, subhanallah wa bi-hamdihi (All Glory is to Allah and all Praise to Him), and subhanallah al-azim (Glorified is Allah, the Great).'' [Muslim, Bukhari & Tirmidhi]

2. Abu Dharr(ra) reported that the Prophet(sws) said: “'Shall I tell you the words that Allah loves the most?' I said, 'Yes, tell me, O Messenger of Allah.' He said: 'The words most dear to Allah are Subhan-Allahi wa bihamdihi (Glorified is Allah with all praise due to Him)'.” [Muslim 2731]. In a different version: The Messenger of Allah (sws) was asked: ‘What is the best type of speech? He said: “What Allah has chosen for his angels or His servants: Subhaan-Allahi wa bihamdih”.

3. Jabir reported that the Prophet(sws) said: "Whoever says Subhan-Allah-al-Adheem wa bihamdihi (Glorified is Allah, the Great, with all praise due to Him), will have a palm tree planted for him in Paradise.'' [Tirmidhi]

4. Narrated Abu Huraira: Allah’s Apostle said, “Whoever says, ‘Subhan Allah wa bihamdihi,’ one hundred times a day, will be forgiven all his sins even if they were as much as the foam of the sea. [Bukhari 6405]

5. Abu Huraira reported Allah’s Messenger (sws) as saying: “Whoever recites in the morning and in the evening (this tasbih) one hundred times, he would not bring on the Day of Resurrection anything excellent than this except one who utters these words or utters more than these words. [Muslim]

6. Narrated Aisha(ra) that the Messenger of Allah(sws) used to frequently say: ‘Subhaan Allahi wa bihamdihi Astagfirullah was Atoub ilaih.’ She stated: So I said: ‘Oh Messenger of Allah, I see you frequently repeating the following: ‘(the above dhikr)’. So he(sws) said: ‘My Lord has informed me about a sign that I will see it happening in my Ummah and when I see it; I should keep repeating that statement. I saw this sign: ‘When the victory of Allah has come and the conquest. And you see the people entering into the religion of Allah in multitudes. Then exalt [him] with praise of your Lord and ask forgiveness of Him. Indeed, He is ever Accepting of repentance.” [Muslim 484]

The sign was the conquest of Makkah as stated in Surah Nasr; and that was revealed as a sign of the coming death of the Prophet(sws). Allah chose for him(sws) to recite this tasbih as a Mercy as he neared his(sws) death.

7. “Whoever could not perform the night prayer, or could not spend his wealth in the way of Allah, or could not fight his enemy, the let him recite frequently ‘Subhaan Allahi wa bihmadih’, for verily, it is more beloved to Allah than a mountain of gold spent in the sake of Allah”. [Saheeh at-Targeeb 1541]

8.“And had he not been of those who exalt Allah, he would have remained inside its belly until the Day they are resurrected”. [As-Saffat, Ayah 143-44]

Mix Tasbeeh with Tawbah as Yunus(as) did. Amplify Istigfaar with Tasbeeh.

9. The Prophet(sws) was describing hardship during the time of ad-Dajjal. Aisha(ra) asked: “What will be their food on that day? He(sws) said: “What the angels are satisfied with, at-Tasbeeh, at-Takbeer, at-Tahmeed and at-Tahleel.” [As-Silsilah As-Saheeha 3079]

Misc Supplication:Before Going to Bed

Allah, the Exalted, says: “Indeed, in the creation of the heavens and the earth and the alternation of the night and day are signs for those of understanding–who remember Allah while standing, sitting and [lying] on their sides” (Qur’an, 3:190-191).

From the Qur’an:

Ayat al-Kursi (Qur’an, 2:255).

Benefit: Whoever reads Ayat al-Kursi when (s)he lies down to sleep will have protection from Allah, and Satan will not come near him/(her) until morning. [Bukhari]

5. “Bismika rabbī wada tu jambī wabika arfa uh fa’in amsakta nafsī far amhā wa’in arsaltahā ʿ ʿ ḥfa fadh-hā bimā ta fadhu bihi ibādaka’l-sālihīn.”ḥ ḥ ʿIn Your name my Lord, I lie down and in Your name I rise, so if You take my soul then have mercy upon it, and if You return my soul then protect it in the way You (protect) Your righteous servants. [Bukhari & Muslim]

6. “Allāhumma aslamtu nafsī ilayk, wafawwa tu amrī ilayk, wawajjahtu wajhī ilayk, wa’alja’tu ḍdhahrī ilayk, raghbatan warahbatan ilayk, la malja’a walā manjā minka illā ilayk, āmantu bikitābika’l-lathī anzalta wabinabiyyika’l-lathī arsalt.”

‘O Allah, I submit my soul to You, and I entrust my affair to You, and I turn my face towards You, and I totally rely on You, in hope and fear of You. Verily, there is no refuge nor safe haven from You except with You. I believe in Your Book that You revealed, and in Your Prophet whom You sent.’

Etiquette & Benefit: The Prophet ملسو هيلع هللا ىلص said: ‘If you take to your bed, then perform ablution as you would for prayer, lie down on your right side, and then say [the supplication above].
