روزمرہ زندگی

دن کے عام لمحات کی دعائیں: بیدار ہونا، گھر سے نکلنا، لباس پہننا، چھینکنا۔

الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي أَحْيَانَا بَعْدَ مَا أَمَاتَنَا وَإِلَيْهِ النُّشُورُ

Al-hamdu lillahil-ladhi ahyana ba'da ma amatana wa ilayhin-nushur.

“All praise is for Allah, who gave us life after He caused us to die, and to Him is the resurrection.”

Said on waking from sleep. Hudhayfah reported that the Prophet said it every time he rose.

اللَّهُمَّ بِاسْمِكَ أَمُوتُ وَأَحْيَا

Allahumma bismika amutu wa ahya.

“O Allah, in Your name I die and I live.”

Said when lying down to sleep, with the hand placed under the cheek. Sleep is described in the hadith as a lesser death.

اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنَ الْخُبُثِ وَالْخَبَائِثِ

Allahumma inni a'udhu bika minal-khubthi wal-khaba'ith.

“O Allah, I seek refuge with You from male and female devils.”

Said before entering the lavatory, or before uncovering oneself where there is no door.

غُفْرَانَكَ

Ghufranak.

“I ask You for Your forgiveness.”

Said on stepping out of the lavatory. Aisha reported it as the Prophet's single word on leaving.

بِسْمِ اللَّهِ، تَوَكَّلْتُ عَلَى اللَّهِ، لَا حَوْلَ وَلَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللَّهِ

Bismillah, tawakkaltu 'alallah, la hawla wa la quwwata illa billah.

“In the name of Allah; I place my trust in Allah; there is no might and no power except with Allah.”

Said when leaving the house. The hadith adds that the one who says it is told: you are guided, sufficed and protected.

اللَّهُمَّ افْتَحْ لِي أَبْوَابَ رَحْمَتِكَ

Allahummaftah li abwaba rahmatik.

“O Allah, open for me the gates of Your mercy.”

Said on entering a mosque, after sending blessings on the Prophet. The right foot is put in first.

اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ مِنْ فَضْلِكَ

Allahumma inni as'aluka min fadlik.

“O Allah, I ask You from Your bounty.”

Said on leaving a mosque, in the same narration as the dua for entering. The left foot is put out first.

الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ — يَرْحَمُكَ اللَّهُ — يَهْدِيكُمُ اللَّهُ وَيُصْلِحُ بَالَكُمْ

Al-hamdu lillah — Yarhamukallah — Yahdikumullahu wa yuslihu balakum.

“"All praise is for Allah." — "May Allah have mercy on you." — "May Allah guide you and set your affairs right."”

A three-part exchange: the one who sneezes praises Allah, the one who hears responds, and the sneezer replies to that response.
