Some important daily life Azkar

Syed Hasanuddin Ahmad

After awakening: “Al-Hamdo lilla-hil lazi a’hyana b'ada ma amatana wa ilaihin-nashoor” (All praise to Allah Who has raised us after our deaths, and to Him will be the gathering).

Entering into a toilet: “Allahumma inni a’oozo bika minal khubs wal khaba’is” (O Allah! I seek Thy refuge from the refuse and the scum).

After coming out of a toilet: “Ghufranak". Al-Hamdo lillahil lazi azhaba 'anni al-aza’ wa aa’fani” (Thy Forgiveness! All praise to Allah who removed harm from me and saved me).

After eating or drinking: “Al-Hamdo lillahil lazi at'amna wa saqana waj'alna minal muslimeen” (All praise to Allah Who gave me food, and drink, and made me one of His Muslims).

After exiting from a house: “Bismillahi tawakkaltu 'alal lahi wa la haol wa la quwata illa billahi” (In the name of Allah, I trusted in Allah; and there is neither strength nor power other than of Allah).

After sitting in a mode of transport: “Subhan al-lazi sakhkhara lana haza wa ma kunna lahu muqreneen. Wa inna ila Rabbena la munqaleboon” (Glorified is He Who has subdued this for us! And we could not have overpowered it. And indeed we have to return to our Lord)

After Adhan is Over: Pray “ Allahumma Rabbi hazihid da’watit taammah was-salatil qa'ima. A’ati Muhammad inil wasilata walfadhilata wab'as hu maqamam mahmoodanal lazi wa’adathu. Hallat lahu shafa’ati yaumal qiyamati” (O Allah! Lord of this perfect call and the established Salat, give Muhammad the highest abode and excellence in the Paradise, and give him the laudable place that Thou had promised. Allow him to intercede for me on the Day of Judgment).

After entering a mosque: “Allahumma iftah li abwaba rahmateka” (O Allah! Open for me the doors of Thy Mercy).

After every salat: “Alla-humma Antas-Salam wa minkas-Salam, tabarakta ya zal Jalal-e-wal Ikram” (O Allah! Thou art Peace, and peace is from Thee. O Possessor of the Highness and the Honour! May Thy Glory be!) (Th'uban R, Muslim).

Coming out of a mosque: “Allahumma inni asa'luka min fadhlika wa rahmateka” (O Allah! I beg of Thy Bounty and Thy Mercy).

After returning from a journey: “Aa’eboona ta’eboona 'aabedoona li Rabbena hamedoon” (We were longing to return to our homes, repenting, worshipping, and praising our Lord).

After entering into a house: “Allahumma inni asa'loka khairal mulej wa khairal makhraj. Bismillahi wa lajna wa bismillahi kharajna. 'Alallahi rabbana tawakkalna” (O Allah! I seek from Thee the best of shelter and the best of exit. With the name of Allah, we took shelter and with the name of Allah we went out. In our Lord Allah we had put our trust).

At the time of sleep: “Bismeka Allahumma ahya wa amoot” (In Thy name O Allah, I live and I die).

After sneezing: “Al-Hamdo lillah” (All praise to Allah!). The listeners should then pray for the sneezer “yarhamok Allah” (May Allah have mercy on you!). The sneezer should then say “yahdeekum Allah” (May Allah guide you!).

Following a funeral: “La ilaha ill-Allah Al-Hayee-ul-lazi la yamoot” (There is no God but Allah, Ever Alive Who does not die).

Congregational prayer for a deceased (Salatul-Janazah): “Allahumma aghfir lehayyena wa mayyetena wa saghirena wa kabirena wa zakarena wa unthana wa shahidena wa ghae'bena. Allahumma mun ahya’tehi minna fa ahya’uhu 'alal Islam wa mun tawaffaituhu minna fa tawaffahu 'alal iman. Allahumma la tuharramna ajrahu wa la taftuna b'adah” (O Allah! Forgive our alive and our dead, and our young and our olds, and our males and our females, and our present and our absentees. O Allah! Whomever Thou give life keep him alive on Islam, and whom Thou bring death let him die on Faith. O Allah! Do not deprive us of its reward, and do not put us to trial because of it).

Please pray to Allah to forgive me and all Muslims, men or women, dead or alive.
