Daily Duas

Dadi JaanMy dears, a dua is how we talk to Allah. Here are the duas I taught your Abbu when he was little.

Before eating

بِسْمِ اللَّهِ

Bismillah

In the name of Allah.

After eating

الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ

Alhamdulillah

All praise is for Allah.

Before sleeping

بِاسْمِكَ اللَّهُمَّ أَمُوتُ وَأَحْيَا

Bismika Allahumma amutu wa ahya

In Your name, O Allah, I die and I live.

When waking up

الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي أَحْيَانَا بَعْدَ مَا أَمَاتَنَا وَإِلَيْهِ النُّشُورُ

Alhamdu lillahil-ladhi ahyana ba'da ma amatana wa ilayhin-nushur

All praise is for Allah, who gave us life after making us sleep, and to Him we will return.

Leaving home

بِسْمِ اللَّهِ تَوَكَّلْتُ عَلَى اللَّهِ وَلَا حَوْلَ وَلَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللَّهِ

Bismillahi tawakkaltu 'alallah, wa la hawla wa la quwwata illa billah

In the name of Allah, I trust in Allah. There is no power and no strength except with Allah.

Entering the masjid

اللَّهُمَّ افْتَحْ لِي أَبْوَابَ رَحْمَتِكَ

Allahummaf-tah li abwaba rahmatik

O Allah, open for me the doors of Your mercy.

When you sneeze

الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ

Alhamdulillah

All praise is for Allah. Whoever hears you replies: Yarhamukallah (May Allah have mercy on you).

For learning
