Below are some of the Adhkar (invocations) we use on a daily basis. Click here for the Adhkar during Salah (prayer).
Waking up
| | الْحَمْدُ للهِ الَّذِي أَحْيَانَا بَعْدَ مَا أَمَاتَنَا وَإِلَيْهِ النُّشُورُ Alhamdu lillaahil-lathee ‘ahyaanaa ba’da maa ‘amaatanaa wa’ilayhin-nushoor Praise is to Allah Who gives us life after He has caused us to die and to Him is the return. |
Going to the bathroom
| When entering اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنَ الْخُبُْثِ وَالْخَبَائِثِ Allaahumma ‘innee ‘a’oothu bika minal-khubthi walkhabaa’ith O Allah , I seek protection in You from the male and female unclean spirits | | When leaving غُفْرَانَكَ Ghufraanaka I seek Your forgiveness. |
Making wudhu (abolition)
| Before starting بِسْمِ اللهِ Bismillah In the Name of Allah |
Upon completion
أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إلَّا اللهُ وَحْدَهُ لَا شَرِيكَ لَهُ، وَأَشْهَدُ أَنَّ مُحَمَّداً عَبْدُهُ وَرَسُولُهُ
Ash-hadu ‘an laa ‘ilaaha ‘illallaahu wahdahu laa shareeka lahu wa ‘ash-hadu ‘anna Muhammadan ‘abduhu wa Rasooluhu
I bear witness that none has the right to be worshipped but Allah alone, Who has no partner; and I bear witness that Muhammad is His slave and His Messenger.
اللَّهُمَّ اجْعَلْنِي مِنَ التَّوَّابِينَ وَاجْعَلْنِي مِنَ الْمُتَطَهِّرِينَ
Allaahummaj’alnee minat-tawwaabeena waj’alnee minal-mutatahhireen
O Allah, make me among those who turn to You in repentance, and make me among those who are purified.
