‫بسم للا الرحمن الرحیم‬

.‫امحلد هلل اذلي هداان لهذا وما كنا لهنتدي لوال أن هداان هللا والصالة والسالم عىل رسوهل الكرمي وعىل اهل وحصبته أمجعي‬
When this weak servant was entrusted with teaching a maktab class of seven-year-old
children, he identified numerous errors in the dua books used--whether with respect to vowels
or the authenticity of the wordings. Where one book was immune from error, another was not,
and vice versa.
Thus, with the help of Allah Ta’ala, we referred to the original hadith books and
corrected the mistakes found in those dua books. If a dua had different versions narrated in the
hadith, we chose the shortest variant and did not combine the different narrations--as was the
case with Dua-Qunoot.
Thereafter, this booklet was presented to the Muhaddith, Hazrat Shaikhul Hadith,
Maulana Fadhlur Rahman A’zami (May Allah preserve him), who reviewed and approved it.
May Allah reward our respected Shaikh for investing his precious time therein.
The book is divided into three sections. The first comprises of the six Kalimaat of
Islamic creed that the late grand mufti of India, Hazrat Mufti Kifayatullah (‫ )رمحه هللا‬placed in his
book ‘Taleemul Islam’. These should not simply be memorised, but the teacher should explain
the meanings of each kalimah to the student--since they pertain to the fundamental creed which
is essential for every Muslim. The second section deals with the duas of Salah. It is imperative
that the teacher evaluate students' retention of these duas in each year of a maktab program, due
to their lifetime importance. The third section deals with everyday duas. There is also a second
part to this book, which comprises other valuable duas in the life of a Muslim.
Dua without concentration is not answered. Therefore, the translations must also
be memorised to ensure devotion when asking from Allah.
This weak individual was assisted by many brothers and sisters in preparing this
booklet. May Allah Ta’ala shower His mercy upon them in both worlds. May He accept it and
make it a means of our salvation in the Hereafter. Ameen.

and He has power over everything.

punishment. Verily Your punishment falls on the disbelievers.

‫بسم للا الرحمن الرحیم‬

‫امحلد هلل اذلي هداان لهذا وما كنا لهنتدي لوال أن هداان هللا‬
.‫والصالة والسالم عىل رسوهل الكرمي وعىل اهل وحصبته أمجعي‬
When this weak servant was entrusted with teaching a maktab class of seven-year-old
children, he identified numerous errors in the dua books used--whether with respect to vowels
or the authenticity of the wordings. Where one book was immune from error, another was not,
and vice versa.
Thus, with the help of Allah Ta’ala, we referred to the original hadith books and
corrected the mistakes found in those dua books. If a dua had different versions narrated in the
hadith, we chose the shortest variant and did not combine the different narrations.
This is the second part of this series and with it, all the duas found in the usual
maktab dua books, plus a few more have been collected.
Dua without concentration is not answered. Therefore, the translations must also
be memorised to ensure devotion when asking from Allah Ta’ala.
This weak individual was assisted by many brothers and sisters in preparing this
booklet. May Allah Ta’ala shower His mercy upon them in both worlds. May He accept it and
make it a means of our salvation in the Hereafter. Ameen.

‫بسم هللا الرمحن الرحی‬

1. In the morning I thank Allah Ta’ala for His many

blessings by saying:
‫ْ ا ْ ا‬
ِّ ‫ أ ْو بأ اح ٍد ِم‬،ِّ‫الل ُھ َم اما أ ْص اب اح َ ي ْن م ْن ِن ْع َمة‬
‫ہ‬

Allahum-ma maa as-ba-ha bi min ni’ma-tin, aw bi-aha-dim min

khal-qika, fa-min-ka wah-daka laa sha-ri-ka la-ka, fa-la-kal
ham-du wa la-kash-shuk-ru.
O Allah, whatever blessing, which I or any of Your creatures
receives is from You alone. You have no partner. For You is all
the praise and all thanks.

2. a) I also say in the morning:

ُ ‫ا ا‬ ‫ا ا‬ ‫ا‬ ‫ا‬ ‫ا‬ ‫ا‬ ‫ہ‬
،‫ او بك ن ْح ایا اوبك ن ُم ْوت‬،‫الل ُھ َم بك أ ْص اب ْحنا اوبك أ ْم اس ْینا‬

Allahum-ma bi-ka as-bah-naa wa-bi-ka am-sai-naa, wa-bi-ka

O Allah, by Your assistance do we reach the morning, by Your
assistance do we reach the evening, by You do we live and by
You do we die, and to You is the place of return.
 38

b) While in the evening I say:

ُ ‫ا ا‬ ‫ا ا‬ ‫ا‬ ‫ا‬ ‫ا‬ ‫ا‬ ‫ہ‬
،‫ او بك ن ْح ایا اوبك ن ُم ْوت‬،‫الل ُھ َم بك أ ْم اس ْینا اوبك أ ْص اب ْحنا‬
ُْ ُ ‫ا ْ ا‬

Allahum-ma bi-ka am-sai-naa wa-bi-ka as-bah-naa,

wa-bi-ka nah-yaa wa-bi-ka na-mu-tu,wa-ilai-kan nu-shoor.
O Allah, by Your assistance do we reach the evening, by Your
assistance do we reach the morning, by You do we live and by
You do we die and to You is the gathering.

3. When I hear the Adhaan I would say:

ٗ ‫ْ ا ُ ْ َ ٰ ا َ ہ ُ ا ْ ا ٗ ا َا ْ ا‬
،‫شیك له‬ ِ ُ ‫أشھد أن َل إله إَل اّٰلل وحدہ َل‬

.‫ َوبال ْسَلم د ْینا‬،‫ َو ب ُم اح َم ٍد َر ُس ْوَل‬، ‫ت باهلل ا ًّربا‬ ‫رضی‬
)386 ‫(مسمل‬

Ash-ha-du al-laa ilaa-ha il-lal laa-hu wah-da-hu laa-sha-ri-ka

ra-dhee-tu bil-laa-hi rab-baa, wa bi muham-ma-dir ra-soo-laa,
wa bil-islaa-mi di-naa.
I testify that there is no god besides Allah, who is Alone, without
any partner, and that Muhammad is indeed His slave and His
messenger. I am pleased with Allah as the Lord, with
Muhammad as the Messenger and with Islam as the religion.
 39

4. At the time of hearing the Maghrib Adhaan I

would say:
‫ا‬ ُ ُ ‫ْ ا ا‬ ‫ا‬ ُ ‫ا ہلل ُھ َم اه اذا إ ْق اب‬
،‫ او أ ْص اوات د اعاتك‬،‫ او إد اب ُار ن اھ ِارك‬،‫ال ل ْیلك‬
ْ ْ ْ ‫ا‬
)530 ‫ (أبو داود‬.‫فاغفرٰل‬
‫ي‬
Allahum-ma haa-dha iq-baa-lu lai-li-ka wa id-baa-ru na-haa-
ri-ka wa as-waa-tu du-’a-ti-ka fagh-fir-li.
O Allah, this is the coming of Your night, the leaving of Your
day, and the voices of those who call upon You, so forgive me.

5. I read this Dhikr after every Fardh Salah:

ُ ْ ٗ ُ ْ ْ ٗ ٗ ‫ا ٰ ا َ ہ ُ ا ْ ا ٗ ا َا ْ ا‬
،‫ له ال ُملك اوله ال اح ْمد‬،‫شیك له‬ ِ ‫َل إله إَل اّٰلل وحدہ َل‬
‫ا ا‬ ‫ہ ا‬ ‫ا ُ ا ا ٰ ُ َا ْ ا‬
،‫ الل ُھ َم َل امان اع ل اما أ ْعط ْیت‬.‫ش ٍء قد ْی ٌر‬
‫ل ي‬ ِّ ِ ‫وهو عٰل ک‬
ْ ‫ا ا ا‬
ِِّ ‫ اوَل ای ْنف ُع ذا ال َج‬،‫ط ل اما ام ان ْع ات‬‫او اَل ُم ْع ا‬
ْ ‫ْ ا‬
. ‫ منك ال اجد‬،‫د‬ ‫ي‬
)844 ‫(البخاري‬
Laa ilaa-ha il-lal laa-hu wah-dahu laa sha-ri-ka la-hu, la-hul
mul-ku wa-la-hul ham-du, wa hu-wa ‘a-laa kul-li shai-in
qa-deer. Allahumma laa maa-ni’a limaa a’taita, wa laa
mu’tiya limaa mana’ta wa laa yanfa’u dhal jad-di min-kal jad.
There is no god except Allah, who is Alone, without any partner. All
sovereignty belongs to Him, all praise is for Him and He has control
over all things. O Allah, none can withhold that which You have chosen
to give and none can give what You have chosen to withhold, and no
wealthy person's wealth can save him from Your punishment.
 40

6. And I make this Dua after every Fardh Salah:

ُ ‫ہُ َ ْ ْ ْ ا ا َ ْ ُ ا ا َ ْ ُ ا ا ْ ا‬
‫ش ْرت او اما‬ ‫ وما أ‬،‫اللھم اغفر يٰل ما قدمت وما أخرت‬
َُْ ْ
‫ أن ات اْلق ِد ُِّم‬،‫ او اما أن ات أ ْعل ُم ب ٖه ِم ِن ِّْي‬،‫شف ُت‬
ْ ْ‫ْ ْ ُ ا ا ْ ا‬
‫ وما أ‬،‫أعلنت‬
‫ا ْ ا َُْ ُ ا ٰ ا َ ْ ا‬
)202 ‫ (مسمل‬.‫ َل إله إَل أنت‬،‫ر‬ ِ ِّ ‫وأنت اْلؤخ‬
Allahum-magh fir-li maa qad-dam-tu wa maa akh-khar-tu, wa
maa as-rar tu wa maa a’lantu, wa maa asraftu, wa maa anta
a’-la-mu bi-hi min-ni, an-tal muqad-dimu wa antal mu-akh
khi-ru, laa ilaa-ha il-laa anta.

O Allah, forgive me what I did earlier and what I did later; what
I did secretly and what I did publicly; what I did excessively and
whatever You know more than I. You are the One who brings
close and the One who banishes. There is no god except You.

7. I also read the following after every Fardh

Salah:

a) ‫ا ہ‬
33 times ‫ُس ْب احان اّٰلل‬
‫ْ ُ ہ‬
33 times ‫ال اح ْمد ّٰلل‬
ْ ُ‫ہ‬
34 times ‫ّٰلل اک َا ُب‬‫ا‬
)596 ‫(مسمل‬

Sub-haa-nal-lah. Glory be to Allah.

Alhum-du-lil-lah. All praise for Allah.
Allah-hu ak-bar. Allah is the greatest
 41

b) The following Surahs and verse as well:

1 Ikhlaas ْ ‫ْال ْخ اَل‬
‫ص‬
‫ْا‬
2 Falaq ‫الفل ْق‬
3 Naas ‫اس‬ْ ‫ا َلن‬
4 Ayaatul ْ ‫اآی ُة ْال ُک ْر‬
‫ش‬
Kursi. ‫ي‬
)100 ‫) (النسايئ يف معل اليوم والليةل‬1523 ‫(أبو داود‬

8. After Witr Salah I say the following thrice:

.‫س‬ ‫و‬ْ ‫ان ْال املك ْال ُقد‬

‫ُ ْ ا ا‬
‫سبح‬
ِ
Sub-haa-nal mali-kil qud-doos
Glory be to the Pure King.

The third time, I would read it audibly and stretch the

ْ
madd of ‫ال ُقد ْو ِس‬. (1741 ،1732 ‫)النسايئ‬

9. After drinking water I thank Allah Ta’ala by

saying:
ً ُ ْ‫ا ا ا‬ ‫ْ ُ ہ‬
،‫ال اح ْمد ّٰلل الذ ْي اسقانا عذ ًبا ف اراتا ب ار ْح امت ٖه‬
‫ا ْ ا ْ اْ ٗ ْ ً ُا ً ُ ُْ ا‬
)899 ‫ (ادلعاء للطرباين‬.‫ولم یجعله ملحا أجاجا بذنوبنا‬
Alhum-du lil-laa-hil la-dhi sa-qaa-naa ‘adh-ban fu-raa-tan
bi-rah-ma-ti-hi, wa lam yaj-’al-hu mil-han oo-jaa-jan
bi dhu-nu-bi-naa.
All praise to Allah, the One who quenched our thirst with sweet,
delicious water by His mercy and did not make it salty and bitter
due to our sins.
 42

10. At the time of drinking Zamzam water I

supplicate with the Dua of Ibn Abbas ‫رض ٰاّلل عهنام‬:

ًْ َ ْ ‫ُ ا‬ ‫ہ‬
،‫ َو ِرزقا َواس ًعا‬،‫الل ُھ َم ِِّإ ِن ْ ِّي أ ْسألك عل ًما ناف ًعا‬
ُ
ِّ ِ ‫َوشف ًاء ِم ْنِّک‬
‫ا‬
)2738 ‫(سنن ادلارقطين‬ .‫ل اد ٍاء‬
Allahum-ma in-ni as-alu-ka ‘il-man naa-fi’aa, wa riz-qan
waa-si-’aa wa shi-faa-‘an min kul-li daa-in.
O Allah, I beg of You beneficial knowledge, ample provisions
and cure from every illness.

11. When I eat or drink at someone else's place I

pray:
ْ ‫ا ہلل ُھ َم أ ْطع ْم ام ْن أ ْط اع ام ن‬
ْ ‫ او ْاسق ام ْن اس اق ن‬،‫ی‬
.‫ان‬
)2 :6 ‫(أمحد‬ ‫ي‬ ‫ي‬
Allahum-ma at-’im man at-‘a-ma-ni was-qi man sa-qaa-ni.
O Allah, feed those who have fed me and quench the thirst of
those who have quenched mine.

12. Then I say audibly to the host:

ُ ‫ُ ْ ا‬ ْ ‫ُ ْا‬ ‫ا‬
،‫ او اصلت اعل ْیک ُم ال امَلئکة‬،‫أک ال ط اع اامک ُم ال ْب ار ُار‬
‫ا ْ ا ا ْا ُُ َ ُ ْ ا‬
)138 :3 ‫ (أمحد‬.‫وأفطر عندکم الصائمون‬

Akala ta-’aa-ma-ku-mul ab-raa-ru, wa sal-lat ‘a-lai-ku-mul

ma-laa-ika-tu, wa af-tara ‘in-da-ku-mus saa-i-moon.
May the righteous partake of your food, may the angels
supplicate for you and may those who are fasting break their
fast with you.
 43

13. At the time of Iftar I would say:

ُ ‫ٰ ْ ا ْ ا‬ ُ ‫ا‬ ‫ہ‬
.‫ او اعٰل ِرزقك أفط ْرت‬،‫الل ُھ َم لك ُص ْمت‬
)2358 ‫(أبو داود‬

Allahum-ma la-ka sum-tu, wa ‘a-laa riz-qi-ka af-tar-tu.

O Allah, for You I fasted and with Your provisions I break my
fast.

14. After eating my Iftaar dinner I say:

‫ْ ُ ُ ْ ُ ااا ا ْا‬
ُ ‫ إ ْن اش ااء ہ‬،‫ال ْج ُر‬ ‫ا‬ ُ ‫اذ اه ا‬
.‫اّٰلل‬ ‫ وثبت‬،‫ او ْابتلت العروق‬،‫ب الظ امأ‬
)2357 ‫(أبو داود‬

Dha-ha-badh dha-ma-u, wab-tal-la-til ‘uroo-qu, wa tha-ba-tal

aj-ru in shaa Allah.
The thirst is gone, the veins are quenched, and the reward is
assured, if Allah wills.

15. After eating my Iftaar dinner at someone

else's home I say to the host:
‫ُ ْا‬ ‫ا‬ ‫ا‬ َ ‫أ ْف اط ار ع ْن اد ُک ُم‬
،‫ اوأک ال ط اع اامک ُم ال ْب ار ُار‬،‫الصائ ُم ْون‬
ُ ‫ا ا ْ ا ُُْ ْاا‬
)1747 ‫ (ابن ماجة‬.‫وصلت علیکم المَلئکة‬

Af-tara ‘in-da-ku-mus saa-i-moon, wa akala ta-’aa-ma-ku-

mul ab-raa-ru, wa sal-lat ‘a-lai-ku-mul ma-laa-ika-tu.
May those who are fasting break their fast with you, may the
righteous eat your food, and may the angels supplicate for you.
 44

16. When I eat the first fruit of the season I ask

Allah Ta’ala to bless it by saying:
‫ا ا‬ ْ ‫ او ابار ْك ل انا ن‬،‫ف اث امرانا‬
،‫ف امد ْینتنا‬ ْ ‫ا ہلل ُھ َم ابار ْك ل انا ن‬
‫ي‬ ِ ِ ‫ي‬ ِ

.‫ف ُم ِدنا‬ ‫ن‬ ‫ا‬ ْ
ْ ‫ او ابارك لنا‬،‫ف اصاعنا‬‫ا‬ ‫ا‬

‫ن‬
‫ي‬ ‫ي‬ ِ
)1372 )472( ‫(مسمل‬

Allahum-ma baa-rik la-naa fee tha-ma-ri-naa, wa baa-rik

la-na fee ma-di-na-ti-naa, wa baa-rik la-naa fee saa-‘i-naa,
wa baa-rik la-na fee mud-di-naa

O Allah, bless us in our fruits, bless us in our city, bless us in

our saa’ (measuring cup) and bless us in our mudd (smaller
measuring cup).

17. When I lay on bed to go to sleep I say:

ْ ‫ت ان ْف‬‫ْ ا َ ْ ا ا ْ ُ ا ْ ْ ا ا ْاُ ٗ ْ ْ ا ْ ا‬
‫س‬‫ي‬ ‫ إن أمسك‬،‫باسمك رِب ِّي وضعت جن َ يی و بك أرفعه‬
‫ا ا‬ ُ ‫ا ا‬ ْ ‫ا ْ ا ْا ا ْ ْ ا ْاا ا ْ ا‬
‫احفظ اھا ب اما ت ْحفظ ب ٖه ع ابادك‬ ‫ وإن أرسلتھا ف‬،‫فارحمھا‬
.‫ی‬ ‫الصالح ْ نا‬َ
)6320 ‫(البخاري‬
Bis-mika rab-bi wa dha’-tu janm-bi wa bi-ka ar-fa-’u-hu, in
am-sak-ta naf-si far-ham-haa, wa in ar-sal ta-haa fah-fadh-

With Your Name, my Lord, do I lie down on my side, and by
You will I raise it. If You retain my soul then have mercy on it,
and if You send it back, then protect it with that which You
protect Your pious slaves.
 45

18. I also recite the complete:

ْ ‫اآی ُة ْال ُک ْر‬
.‫ش‬
)2311 ‫(البخاري‬
‫ي‬
Ayaatul Kursi

19. I also recite the following 3 surahs, blow in my

hands with a little spit and rub them all over
my body starting from my head, I repeat this
3 times:

1 Surah ْ ‫ْال ْخ اَل‬

‫ص‬
Ikhlaas
‫ْا‬
2 Surah ‫الفل ْق‬
Falaq
3 Surah ْ ‫ا َلن‬
‫اس‬

)5017 ‫(البخاري‬

20. I also read the following:

‫ا ہ‬
33 times ‫ُس ْب احان اّٰلل‬
‫ْ ُ ہ‬
33 times ‫ال اح ْمد ّٰلل‬
ْ ُ‫ہ‬
34 times ‫ّٰلل اک َا ُب‬‫ا‬
)5361 ‫(البخاري‬

Sub-haa-nal-lah. Glory be to Allah.

Alhum-du-lil-lah. All praise for Allah.
Allah-hu ak-bar. Allah is the greatest.
 46

21. Finally before I go to sleep I recite the

following Surah once:
ْ
)5055 ‫(أبو داود‬ .‫الکاف ُر ْو ان‬
Surah Kaafiroon

22. If I am having trouble falling asleep I pray to

Allah Ta’ala by saying:
‫ْ ُ ُ ْ ُ ا ْ ا ا ٌّ ا‬ ‫ُ ْ ُ ا ا ا‬ ‫ا ہلل ُھ َم اغ ا‬
،‫ح قی ْو ٌم‬ ‫ي‬ ‫ت‬ ‫ن‬ ‫أ‬ ‫و‬ ، ‫ن‬ ‫و‬ ‫ی‬ ‫ع‬ ‫ال‬ ‫ت‬ ‫أ‬‫د‬ ‫ه‬ ‫و‬ ،‫م‬‫و‬‫ج‬ ‫الن‬ ‫ت‬ ‫ار‬

O Allah, the stars have gone and the eyes (of people) have
sunken (into deep slumber). Verily You are Everlasting and
Eternal, neither drowsiness, nor sleep can seize You. O
Everlasting and Eternal, bless my night with peace and my
eyes with sleep.

‫ْ ُ ہ‬
23. If I had a good dream I would say ‫ال اح ْمد ّٰلل‬
Alhum-du-lil-lah (All praise to Allah) and only tell it to
those who love me.
(7045 ‫)البخاري‬
 47

24. If I had a bad dream, I would simulate spitting

on my left side 3 times and I would ask Allah
Ta’ala to protect me by saying:
ْ ‫َ ا‬ َ ‫ُْ ُ ہ ا‬
َ ‫الش ْی اطان‬
.‫ او م ْن ش ِرِّهذہ الرؤ ایا‬،‫الرج ْیم‬ ‫أعوذ باّٰلل من‬
A’udhu bil-laahi mi-nash shai-tau-nir ra-jeem,
wa min shar-ri haa-dhi-hir ru'yaa.
I seek refuge in Allah from Satan, the accursed and from the
evil of this dream.

Then I would turn around and go back to sleep, and

I would not tell anyone about it because it cannot
harm me. (2:2261 ، 4:2261 ‫)مسمل‬

25. When I visit a sick person I console him/her

by saying:

. ُ ‫ا اْ ا ا ُ ٌْ ْ ا ا ہ‬
)5656 ‫َل بأس طھور إن شاء اّٰلل (البخاري‬

Laa ba’sa ta-hoo-run in-shaa-Allah.

No need to worry. [This illness is] a purification [from sins],
Allah willing.
 48

26. I also pray for the sick person by saying:

ْ ‫الش ن‬ َ ‫ْ ا‬ ْ ‫ا‬ َ َ ‫ْاْ ا ا‬ ْ

Remove all harm, Lord of mankind, and cure, as You are the
one who cures. There is no cure but Your cure: a cure that
leaves no illness.

27. When I make the following Dua 7 times he/she

will be certainly cured if his/her time has not
arrived:
ْ ْ ‫ ار َب ْال اع‬،‫اّٰلل ْال اعظ ْی ام‬
.‫ أ ْن َی ْشف ای اك‬،‫ش ال اعظ ْیم‬

)3106 ‫(أبو داود‬
As-a-lul laa-hal ‘a-dheem, rab-bal ‘ar-shil ’a-dheem,
ain yash-fi-ya-ka.
I ask Allah, the Majestic, Lord of the majestic Throne, to
cure you.
 49

28. When I see anyone with an affliction I ask

Allah Ta’ala to protect me from it by saying:
‫ا ا‬ ْ ‫ا ْل اح ْم ُد ہّٰلل الذ ْي اع ااف ن‬
،‫ان م َما ْابتَلك ب ٖه‬ ‫ي‬
ً ْ‫ا‬ ‫ْ َّ ْ ا‬ ٰ ‫ا‬

la-qa taf-dhee-laa.
All praise is due to Allah, who saved me from that which He
has afflicted you with, and blessed me greatly over many of
those whom He has created.

29. On entering the graveyard I say:

‫ی او ْال ُم ْسلم ْ نا‬

Peace be upon you, O dwellers of this abode–Believers and

Muslims. Surely, when Allah wills, we will join you. We ask
Allah for our safety and yours.

30. At the time of undertaking a journey I seek

Allah Ta’ala's help and protection by saying:

O Allah, on this journey of ours, we ask of You virtue, piety,

and actions that please You. O Allah, make easy for us the
passage and fold up for us its expanse. O Allah, You are the
companion in travel, and the guardian of the family. O Allah,
I seek refuge in You from the hardships of travel, from the
grief of ill scenes, and from an evil return in my wealth and
family.
 51

31. When undertaking a journey on a boat or ship

I say:

.‫اّٰلل ام ْج ٖریـ اـھا او ُم ْر اس اھا ط ا َن َرِب ْ ِّي ل اغف ْو ٌر َرح ْی ٌم‬

In the name of Allah is its sailing and its anchoring. Indeed, my

Sustainer is Forgiving and Merciful. And they have not
understood Allah as He really is. The entire earth is a [mere]
handful of His on the day of Resurrection, and the heavens will
be rolled up in His right Hand. He is Pure and far above all they
ascribe to Him.

32. When I see the village or city I am travelling

to I say 3 times:

.‫ا ہلل ُھ َم اب ِار ْك ل انا ف ْی اھا‬

Allahum-ma baa-rik la-naa fee-haa.
O Allah bless us in it.
 52

33. Then I say:

ْ ٰ َْ
،‫ َو َح ِببناِّإٰل أهل اھا‬،‫الل ُھ َم ْارزقنا اجناها‬
‫ُْا ا ا‬ ‫ہ‬

O Allah, grant us its fruits, make us beloved to its inhabitants,
and make its pious inhabitants beloved to us.

34. When returning from the journey I would

recite Dua No. 30 and add:

.‫آی ُب ْو ان تائ ُب ْو ان اعاب ُد ْو ان ِل َرِب َناِّ احام ُد ْو ان‬

‫ا‬
)1342 ‫(مسمل‬

Aa-yi-boo-na taa-i-boo-na ‘aa-bi-doo-na li-rab-bi-naa

haa-mi-doon.
We now return [from our journey] repenting [to Allah],
worshipping [Him], and praising our Sustainer [Allah].

35. When in fear of an enemy I ask Allah Ta’ala

for protection by saying:
ُ َُ ‫ او ان ُع ْو ُذ ب اك م ْن‬،‫ف ُن ُح ْوره ْم‬
.‫ش ْو ِره ْم‬ ْ ‫ا ہلل ُھ َم إ َنا ان ْج اع ُل اك ن‬

)1537 ‫(أبو داود‬

Allahum-ma in-naa naj-’a-lu-ka fi nu-hoo-ri-him, wa na-’u-

dhu-bi-ka min shu-roo-ri-him.
O Allah, we place You at their throats, and we seek Your
protection against their evil.
 53

36. a) When I see dark clouds on the horizon I

pray:
)191 :6 ‫(أمحد‬ .‫ا ہلل ُھ َم ِِّإ ِن ْيِّأ ُع ْو ُذ ب اك م ْن َش ِرِّ اما ف ْیه‬
Allahum-ma in-ni a-’oo-dhu-bi-ka min shar-ri maa fihi.
O Allah, I seek refuge in You from the evil [present] in it.

b) If the skies clear up I thank Allah Ta’ala by

saying:
ْ
)191 :6 ‫(أمحد‬ .‫ال اح ْم ُد ہّٰلل‬
Alhum-du-lil-laah.
All praise is for Allah.

c) But if it rains I ask Allah Ta’ala to make it

beneficial by saying:
َ َ َ ُ‫ہ‬
)191 :6 ‫(أمحد‬ .‫ص ِی ًباِّناف ًعا‬ ِّ‫اللھم‬
Allahum-ma sai-yi-ban naa-fi-‘aa.
O Allah, make it beneficial rain.
 54

37. When high winds blow, I ask Allah Ta’ala for

its benefit and seek His protection from its
harm by saying:
ُ ‫ُ ا ا ا‬ ‫ہ‬
،‫ اوخ ْ اب اما أ ْرسلت ب ٖه‬،‫ اوخ ْ اب اما ف ْی اھا‬،‫الل ُھ َم ِِّإ ِن ْيِّأ ْسألك خ ْ ابها‬

Allahum-ma in-ni as-a-lu-ka khai-ra-haa, wa khai-ra maa fee-

ur-si-lat bih.
O Allah, I ask You for its good, the good of what is in it, and
the good of what it has been sent with. I seek refuge in You
from its evil, the evil of what is in it, and the evil of what it has
been sent with.

38. When I hear thunder and see lightning I ask

Allah Ta’ala to protect me by saying:
‫ہ ا ا ْ ُْا ا ا ا ا ُ ْ ا ا ا‬
،‫ اوَل ت ْھلکنا ب اعذابك‬،‫الل ُھ َم َل تقتلنا بغضبك‬
‫ا‬
.‫او اعاف انا ق ْب ال ذ ا ل اك‬
)3450 ‫(الرتمذي‬

Allahum-ma laa taq-tul-naa bi gha-dha-bik, wa laa tuh-

lik-naa bi ‘a-dhaa-bik, wa ‘aa-fi-naa qab-la dhaa-lik.
O Allah, do not kill us with Your wrath, and do not destroy us
with Your punishment, and pardon us before that.
 55

39. When in need of rain we beg Allah Ta’ala by

saying:
ً ً ً ‫ا ا‬ ‫ہ‬
،‫ َم ِر ْيئا َم ِر ْی ًعا‬،‫الل ُھ َم ْاسقنا غ ْیثا مغ ْیثا‬
‫ً ا‬
.‫ اعاجَل غ ْ اب آج ٍل‬،‫ضار‬ َ ‫َناف ًعا اغ ْ اب‬

Allahum-mas qi-naa ghai-than mu-ghee-thaa, ma-ri-am

ma-ree-’aa, naa-fi-’an ghai-ra dhaar, ‘aa-ji-lan ghai-ra
aa-jil.
O Allah, grant us rain - a rain that is helpful, blessed and
fruitful; (a rain that is) beneficial and not harmful, immediate
and not delayed.

40. If we fear harm from the heavy rains we ask

Allah Ta’ala to divert it by saying:

‫ا ا ا ا‬ ‫ہ‬
،‫الل ُھ َم اح اوال ْینا اوَل عل ْینا‬
،‫اب‬
‫ر‬ َ ‫الظ‬‫و‬َ ‫ او ْاْل اجام‬،‫ا ہلل ُھ َم اعٰل ْاْلکام او ْالج ابال‬

‘a-lal aa-kaa-mi wal ji-baa-li, wal aa-jaa-mi wad-dhi-raa-bi,

O Allah, [send the rains] around us and not on us. O Allah [send
the rains] on the plains, the mountains, the forest, the hills, in
the valleys and over the pastures.
 56

41. When I enter the market a million rewards are

written for me, a million of my sins are wiped out
and I am elevated a million stages by saying:

‫ی او‬ ْ ‫ ُی ْح‬،‫ ل ٗه ْال ُم ْل ُك اول ٗه ْال اح ْم ُد‬،‫شی اك ل ٗه‬ ْ ‫اّٰلل او ْح اد ٗہ اَل َا‬

There is no god besides Allah, who is one, without any partner. For
Him is the kingdom and for Him is all praise. He gives life and
causes death. He is alive and never dies. In His hands is all good and
He has power over everything.

42. I also ask Allah Ta’ala to assist me in my

transactions by saying:
‫ُ ا‬ ‫ہ‬
،‫ الل ُھ َم ِِّإ ِن ْ ِّي أ ْسألك م ْن خ ْ ِب هذہ الس ْوق اوخ ْ ِب اما ف ْی اھا‬،‫ب ْسم اّٰلل‬

 57

In the name of Allah. O Allah, I beg of You the good of this

market and what it contains, and I seek Your protection from
the evil of this market and what it contains. O Allah, I seek
Your protection from falling for a false oath or becoming
involved in a poor deal.
43. When I wear new clothing, I am grateful to
Allah Ta’ala and say:
ُ ْ‫ْ ا ن‬ ‫ْ ا ْ ُ ہ‬
،‫ان اما أ او ِار ْي ب ٖه اع ْو ار ْ ي ْن‬ ‫ي‬ ‫س‬ ‫ک‬ ‫ي‬ ‫ذ‬ ‫ال‬ ‫ّٰلل‬ ‫الحمد‬

.‫ان‬ ْ ‫اوأ ات اج َم ُل ب ٖه ن‬

Alhum-du-lil-laa-hil-la-dhi ka-saa-ni maa oo-waa-ri bi-hi

‘aw-ra-ti, wa ata-jam-ma-lu bi-hi fee ha-yaa-tee.
Praise be to Allah who clothed me with what covers my
nakedness, and with that by which I adorn myself in life.

Then I give away the old ones in charity.

44. Allah Ta'ala helps the person who says the

following two duas to pay off his/her debts:
‫ا‬ ‫ا ا ا‬ ْ ‫ا ہلل ُھ َم ْاکف ن‬
،‫ی ب احَللك ع ْن اح ارامك‬
‫ا‬ ‫ا‬ ْ َ ‫ا‬ ‫ا‬ ْ ‫ا ْ نْ ي ا‬
.‫وأغن يی بفضلك عمن سواك‬
)3563 ‫(الرتمذي‬
Allahum-mak fi-nee bi ha-laa-li-ka ‘an ha-raa-mik, wa agh-
ni-nee bi fadh-li-ka ‘am-man si-waak.
O Allah, suffice me with what You have made lawful in place
of what You have made unlawful, and by Your grace make me
independent of all those besides You.
 58

45. I read the following one every morning and

evening:
ْ
ِّ ِ ‫الل ُھ َم ِِّإ ِن ِّْي أ ُع ْوذ ب اك م ان ال َھ‬

O Allah, I seek refuge in You from griefs and anxieties. I seek
refuge in You from helplessness and laziness. I seek refuge in
You from cowardice and miserliness. I seek refuge in You
from the burden of debts, and the overpowering of men.

46. On seeing the new moon I say:

‫ْ ا‬ ‫ا َ ا‬ ْ ‫ٗ ا ا ْا‬ ‫ہ‬
،‫السَل امة اوال ْسَلم‬ ‫ و‬،‫الل ُھ َم أهله عل ْینا بال ْم ِن اوال ْی امان‬

Allahum-ma a-hil-la-hu ‘a-lai-naa bil am-ni wal eeman,
was-sa-laa-ma-ti wal islaam, wat-taw-fee-qi li-maa tu-hib-bu

O Allah, let the crescent loom above us in safety, faith, peace,
and Islam, and in agreement with all that You love and pleases
You. Our Lord and your (the crescent’s) Lord is Allah.
 59

47. Whenever in need of anything, I make a

complete Wudhu, perform two Rakaat Salatul
Haajah, and then I ask Allah Ta’ala for help by
saying:
ْ
،‫ش ال اعظ ْیم‬ ْ ‫ب ْال اع‬

There is no god but Allah, the Most Forbearing, the Most Generous.
Exalted is Allah the Lord of the Great Throne. Praise be to Allah,
the Lord of the worlds. I ask of You those things which will bring
Your mercy, and Your immense forgiveness, a full share of virtuous
deeds, and complete safety from every sin. Do not let any sin of
mine be left unforgiven, nor any worry unrelieved, nor any need
which is a source of pleasure for You unfulfilled, O Most Merciful
of those who show mercy.
 60

48. Before undertaking any major decisions or

choosing between two or more options, I perform
two Rakaat Nafl Salah and then ask Allah Ta'ala
to guide me by saying:
‫ا ْ ا‬ ‫ہ‬
،‫ اوأ ْستقد ُرك بقد ارتك‬،‫الل ُھ َم ِِّإ ِن ْ ِّي أ ْستخ ْ ُبك بعلمك‬

O Allah, I ask of You the good through Your knowledge and I ask
You to grant me ability through Your power and I beg You of your
infinite grace, for surely, You have power and I have none, You
know all and I know nothing, and You are the Knower of all that is
hidden. O Allah if, in Your knowledge, this matter is good for my
faith, my livelihood and the outcome of my affairs [in the world and
the hereafter], then ordain it for me, make it easy for me and grant
me blessing in it. But, if in Your knowledge this matter is bad for
my faith, my livelihood and the outcome of my affairs [in the world
and the hereafter], then turn it away from me, turn me away from it,
ordain for me the good wherever it be, and cause me to be pleased
with it.

49. When I go for Hajj I will recite this Talbiyah

abundantly, in sha Allah:

‫ا‬ ‫َ ْ ا ہ ُ َ َ ْ ا َ ْ ا ا َا ْ ا ا‬
،‫شیك لك ل َب ْیك‬ِ ‫ لبیك َل‬،‫لبیك اللھم لبیك‬

Lab-baik Allah-hum-ma lab-baik, lab-bai-ka laa sha-ree-ka la-ka

lab-baik, in-nal ham-da wan-ni’-ma-ta la-ka wal mulk,

Here I am O Allah (in response to Your call), here I am. Here I am,
You have no partner, here I am. Verily, all praise, blessings and
sovereignty belong to You. You have no partner.
 62

50. I often recite this comprehensive Dua of the

Rasulullah ‫ﷺ‬:

،‫الل ُھ َم إنا ن ْسألك م ْن خ ْ ِب اما اسألك منه نبیك ُم اح َمد ﷺ‬

O Allah, We ask You for all the good which Your messenger,
Muhammad ‫ ﷺ‬asked for, and we seek refuge from all the evil
from which Your messenger, Muhammad ‫ ﷺ‬sought refuge.
You are the only Being whose help is sought and supplications
reach You alone. There is no might nor power except with
Allah.
