were opened for them.” Ibn ʿUmar said, “I have not
stopped saying these words since I heard this
statement of the Messenger of Allah ‫ﷺ‬.” (Muslim

I have turned my face towards the

One who created the heavens and the
earth, turned away from all that is
false having surrendered to Allah,
and I am not of the polytheists. My
ṣalāh, my sacrifice, my life and my
death are all for Allah, Lord of
the worlds, who has no partners. I
have been commanded of this, and I
am of those who submit. O Allah,
You are the King, there is no god
worthy of being worshipped except
You. You are my Lord and I am Your
slave. I have wronged myself and I
 confess my sins. Forgive all of my
sins, for no one forgives except
You. Guide me to the best of
character, for no one guides to the
best of it except You; and turn the
evil of it away from me, for no one
turns it away except You. Here I
am, seeking Your pleasure and at
Your service. All good is in Your
hands and no evil is attributed to
You. My (existence, protection and
success) is from You and I am
returning to You. You are Most
Blessed and You are Most Exalted. I
seek Your forgiveness and repent to
You.

ʿAlī b. Abū Tālib (raḍiy Allāhu ‘anhu) narrates: “When

the Messenger of Allah ‫ ﷺ‬would stand for prayer, he
would say: [the above].(Muslim 771)”

started reciting al-Baqarah and he did not come to any
verse that spoke of mercy but he paused and asked for
mercy, and he did not come to any verse that spoke of
punishment but he paused (and sought refuge with
Allah from that). Then he bowed and he stayed bowing
for as long as he had stood, and he said while bowing:
[the above] Then he prostrated for as long as he had
bowed, saying while prostrating: [the above]. Then he
recited al ʿImrān, then another sūrah and another, doing
that each time.” (Nasā’ī 1132, Abū Dāwūd 873)

All royal greetings belong to

Allah, as do prayers and good
(deeds and words). May peace, the
mercy of Allah and His blessings be
upon you O Prophet. Peace be upon
us and upon the righteous servants
 of Allah. I bear witness that there
is no god except Allah and I bear
witness that Muhammad is His slave
and Messenger.

Ibn Mas’ūd (raḍiy Allāhu ‘anhu) said: “The Messenger

of Allah ‫ ﷺ‬taught me the Tashahhud as he taught me
a sūrah from the Qur’an, while my hand was between
his hands. (Bukhārī 6265)

O Allah, I seek Your protection

from the punishment of the fire,
from the punishment of the grave,
from the trials of life and death,
and from the evil of the trial of
al-Masīḥ al-Dajjāl.

Abū Hurayrah (raḍiy Allāhu ‘anhu) narrates that the

Messenger of Allah ‫ ﷺ‬said: “When any one of you
utters the tashahhud (in salāh), he should seek refuge
with Allah from four and should say [the above].”

I seek Your protection from sin and
debt.

ʿĀishā (raḍiy Allāhu ‘anhā) narrated that the Messenger

of Allah ‫ ﷺ‬used to invoke Allah in Salāh saying [the
above]. Somebody said to him, “Why do you so
frequently seek refuge with Allah from being in debt?”
The Prophet ‫ ﷺ‬replied, “A person in debt tells lies
when he speaks, and breaks promises when he makes
(them).” (Bukhārī 832)

O Allah, forgive me for what I have

done in the past and for what I am
yet to do, for what I have done
privately and for what I have done
publicly, for my excesses and for
that which You know more than me.
You are the One who brings forward

towards the One who created the heavens and the
earth, turned away from all that is false having
surrendered to Allah, and I am not of the polytheists.
My ṣalāh, my sacrifice, my life and my death are all for
Allah, Lord of the worlds, who has no partners. I have
been commanded of this, and I am of those who
submit. O Allah, You are the King, there is no god
worthy of being worshipped except You. You are my
Lord and I am Your slave. I have wronged myself and I
confess my sins. Forgive all of my sins, for no one
forgives except You. Guide me to the best of character,
for no one guides to the best of it except You; and turn
the evil of it away from me, for no one turns it away

Your service. All good is in Your hands and no evil is
attributed to You. My (existence, protection and
success) is from You and I am returning to You. You

Your forgiveness and repent to You.) When he would
do rukū, he would say: ‫الَّلُه َّم َلَك َر َكْع ُت َو ِب َك آَم ْنُت َو َلَك َأ ْس َلْم ُت‬

Alone I have bowed in prayer, in You Alone I have
believed, and to You Alone I have submitted. My
hearing, sight, mind, bones and nerves are humble to
You.) When he would raise his head from rukū, he
would say: ‫الَّلُه َّم َر َّبَنا َلَك اْلَح ْم ُد ِم ْل َء الَّس َم َو اِت َو ِم ْل َء اَألْر ِض َو ِم ْل َء َم ا‬

Alone is all praise; praise which fills the heavens, which
fills the earth, which fills whatever is in between them,
and which fills whatever You wish after that.) When he
would do sajdah, he would say: ‫الَّلُه َّم َلَك َس َج ْد ُت َو ِب َك آَم ْنُت‬

Creators.) The last thing he would say after the
tashahhud and the salām would be [the above].

seek Your protection from being
sent back to a miserable old age. I

trials of the world and from the

Musʿab b. Saʿd and ‘Amr b. Maymūn al-Awdī (radiy

Allāhū ‘anhumā) narrates that Saʿd b. Abī Waqqās
(raḍiy Allāhu ‘anhu) used to teach his children these

say that the Messenger of Allah ‫ ﷺ‬used to seek
refuge (with Allah) with [the above] at the end of every
prayer. (Nasa’ī 5479)

Abū Sāliḥ reported on the authority of some

Companions (radiy Allāhū ‘anhum) that the Prophet ‫ﷺ‬
said to a person: “What do you say in prayer?” He
replied: “I first recite (the) tashahhud, and then I say
[the above], but I do not understand your sound and
the sound of Muʿādh (i.e. what you say or he says in
prayer). The Prophet ‫ ﷺ‬said: “We too go around it (i.e.
our supplication is also related to Paradise and Hell-
fire).” (Abū Dāwūd 792)

O Allah, I ask You for Your fear in

private and in public, and for the
word of truth in times of joy and
 anger. I ask You for moderation in
poverty and in wealth. I ask You
for endless blessings and perpetual
delights. I ask You to make me
pleased with destiny; for a cool
and comfortable life after death;
for the pleasure of seeing Your
Face; and for the longing to meet
You, without any painful ordeals
and tribulations that misguide.

ʿAṭā b. as-Sā’ib narrated that his father said: “ʿAmmār b.

Yāsir (raḍiy Allāhu ‘anhu) led us in prayer and he made
it brief. Some of the people said to him: ‘You made the
prayer sort (or brief).’ He said: ‘Nevertheless I still
recited supplications that I heard from the Messenger
of Allah ‫ﷺ‬.’ When he got up and left, a man- he was
my father but he did not name himself- followed him
and asked him about that supplication, then he came
and told the people [the above].” (Nasā’ī 1305)

Mannān, Badīʿu-s-samāwāti wal-arḍ,
 yā Dhal-jalāli wal-ikrām, yā Ḥayyu
yā Qayyūm.

O Allah, I beg You as all praise

only belongs to You. There is no
god worthy of worship except You,
the Giver of all good, the
Originator of the heavens and the
earth. O Lord of Majesty and
Honour, O the Ever Living, O the
One who sustains and protects all
that exists.

Anās b. Malik (raḍiy Allāhu ‘anhu) narrates that I was

sitting with the Messenger of Allah ‫ ﷺ‬and a man was
offering ṣalāh. The man then said [the above]. The
Messenger of Allah ‫ ﷺ‬remarked: “He has certainly
asked Allah with His Greatest Name; when He is
supplicated by it, He responds, and when asked, He
gives.” (Abū Dāwūd 1495)

Dua #10

، ‫َا لّٰلُه َّم ِإ ِّن ْي َأ ْس َأ ُلَك ِب َأِّن ْي َأ ْش َه ُد َأ َّن َك َأ ْن َت ُهّٰللا اَل ِإ ٰل َه ِإ اَّل َأ ْن َت‬

‫ َو َلْم َي ُكْن َّلُه ُكُف ًو ا َأ َح ٌد‬، ‫اَأْلَح ُد الَّص َم ُد اَّلِذ ْي َلْم َي ِل ْد َو َلْم ُي ْو َلْد‬

Allāhumma innī as’aluka bi-annī

ash-hadu an-naka Anta-llāhu lā
 ilāha illā Anta-l-Aḥadu-ṣ-Ṣamad,
al-ladhī lam yalid, wa lam yūlad,
wa lam yakul-lahū kufuwan aḥad.

O Allah, I ask You as I bear

witness that You are Allah, there
is no god worthy of worship except
You, the One, the Self-Sufficient
Master, the One who has not given
birth and was not born, and to whom
no one is equal.

Buraydah (raḍiy Allāhu ‘anhu) narrated that the

Messenger of Allah ‫ ﷺ‬heard a man saying [the above].
The Messenger of Allah ‫ ﷺ‬remarked: “By the One in
Whose Hand is my life, He has certainly asked Allah
with His Greatest Name; when He is supplicated by it,
He responds, and when asked, He gives.” (Tirmidhī
3475)

O Allah, guide me amongst those You

have guided, grant me wellbeing
amongst those You have granted
wellbeing, and befriend me amongst
those You have befriended. Bless me
in what You have given me and
 protect me from the evil of what
You have decreed: You are the One
who decrees and You are not decreed
against. Whomsoever You befriend
will never be disgraced, and
whomsoever You oppose will never be
honoured. You are the Most Blessed,
our Lord and You are the Most
Exalted.

Ḥasan b. ʿAlī (radiy Allāhū ‘anhumā) narrates that the

Messenger of Allah ‫ ﷺ‬taught me some words that I
say during the witr ṣalāh. (The version of Ibn Jawwās
has: I say them in the Qunūt (supplication) of the witr
Salāh.) They were: [the above]. (Abū Dāwūd 1425)

Qunut #2

‫ َو ُنْؤ ِم ُن ِب َك َو ُن ْث ِن ْي َع َلْي َك‬، ‫َا لّٰلُه َّم ِإ َّن ا َن ْس َت ِع ْي ُن َك َو َن ْس َت ْغ ِف ُر َك‬

‫ َا لّٰلُه َّم ِإ َّي اَك‬، ‫ َو َنْخ َلُع َو َن ْت ُر ُك َم ْن َّي ْف ُج ُر َك‬، ‫اْلَخ ْي َر َو اَل َنْكُف ُر َك‬

O Allah, we beg You for Your help

and we seek Your forgiveness. We
believe in You, we praise You
highly, and we are not ungrateful
to You. We move away from and leave
those who disobey You. O Allah, You
Alone we worship, to You Alone we
pray and prostrate, to You Alone we
strive and hasten. We hope for Your
mercy and we fear Your punishment:
Your severe punishment will surely
be meted out to the disbelievers.

Abū ʿAbdur Raḥmān relates: “Ibn Masʿūd (raḍiy Allāhu

‘anhu) taught us that we read [the above] in the qunūt.”
(Ibn Abī Shaybah 518/4)

Qunut #3

‫ َو َأ ُع ْو ُذ ِب ُم َع اَف اِتَك ِم ْن‬، ‫َا لّٰلُه َّم ِإ ِّن ْي َأ ُع ْو ُذ ِب ِر َض اَك ِم ْن َس َخ ِط َك‬

‫ َأ ْن َت َكَم ا‬، ‫ اَل ُأ ْح ِص ْي َث َناًء َع َلْي َك‬، ‫ َو َأ ُع ْو ُذ ِب َك ِم ْنَك‬، ‫ُع ُق ْو َبِت َك‬

‫َأْث َن ْي َت َع َلٰى َنْف ِس َك‬

 Allāhumma innī aʿūdhu bi-riḍāka min
sakhatik, wa bi-muʿāfātika min
ʿuqūbatik, wa aʿūdhu bika minka, lā
uḥṣī thanā’an ʿalayk, Anta kamā
athnayta ʿalā nafsik.

O Allah, I seek protection in Your

pleasure from Your anger. I seek
protection in Your forgiveness from
Your punishment. I seek protection
in You from Your [aforementioned
anger and punishment]. I cannot
enumerate Your praise. You are as
You have praised Yourself.

ʿAlī b. Abī Ṭālib (raḍiy Allāhu ‘anhu) narrates: “The

Messenger of Allah ‫ ﷺ‬used to say [the above] at the
end of his witr ṣalāh.” (Abū Dāwūd 1427, Tirmidhī
3566, Ibn Mājah 1179) In another narration, it is
narrated from Aishā (raḍiy Allāhu ‘anhā): “I noticed that
the Messenger of Allah ‫ ﷺ‬was missing from his bed
one night, so I went looking for him, and my hand
touched the soles of his feet while he was prostrating
with his feet upright. He was saying: [the above
without the word ‫]ِإ ِّن ْي‬.” (Muslim 486)
