بَابُ مَا يَقُولُ إِذَا أَصْبَحَ
What Dua Should Be Recited in the Morning and Evening?
Glorifying Allah’s Greatness in the Morning and Evening
Hadith 34. Hazrat Abdur Rahman bin Abza (رضي الله عنه) narrated that the Messenger of Allah (صلى الله عليه وسلم) used to recite the following dua in the morning:
أَصْبَحْنَا عَلَى فِطْرَةِ الْإِسْلَامِ، وَكَلِمَةِ الْإِخْلَاصِ، وَدِينِ نَبِيِّنَا مُحَمَّدٍ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، وَمِلَّةِ أَبِينَا إِبْرَاهِيمَ حَنِيفًا مُسْلِمًا وَمَا كَانَ مِنَ الْمُشْرِكِينَ
We have entered the morning upon the natural disposition of Islam, the word of sincerity, the religion of our Prophet Muhammad (صلى الله عليه وسلم), and the way of our father Ibrahim (عليه السلام), who was an upright Muslim and was not among the polytheists.
Benefit
This dua reminds a believer every morning of their identity: “I am a servant of Allah and a follower of Islam.” It renews this consciousness at the beginning of each day.
Welcoming the Morning Through Allah’s Mercy
Hadith 35. Hazrat Abu Hurairah (رضي الله عنه) narrated that the Messenger of Allah (صلى الله عليه وسلم) said: Recite this dua in the morning:
اللَّهُمَّ بِكَ أَصْبَحْنَا، وَبِكَ أَمْسَيْنَا، وَبِكَ نَحْيَا، وَبِكَ نَمُوتُ، وَإِلَيْكَ النُّشُورُ
O Allah! By Your grace we have entered the morning, and by Your grace we enter the evening. By Your grace we live, and by Your command we die, and to You is the resurrection.
Benefit
This dua reminds a believer every morning that life, death, and our return are all in the hands of Allah.
Seeking Protection
Hadith 36. Hazrat Abdullah (رضي الله عنه) said that the Messenger of Allah (صلى الله عليه وسلم) used to recite the following dua in the evening:
أَمْسَيْنَا وَأَمْسَى الْمُلْكُ لِلَّهِ، وَالْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ، وَلَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ، وَحْدَهُ لَا شَرِيكَ لَهُ، اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنَ الْجُبْنِ وَالْبُخْلِ، وَسُوءِ الْكِبَرِ، وَفِتْنَةِ الدُّنْيَا، وَعَذَابِ الْقَبْرِ، وَعَذَابِ النَّارِ
We have entered the evening, and all sovereignty belongs to Allah. All praise belongs to Allah. There is no deity except Allah. He is One and has no partner.
O Allah! I seek refuge in You from cowardice, miserliness, the evils of old age, the trials of this world, the punishment of the grave, and the punishment of Hellfire.
He would also recite a similar dua in the morning. Another narration mentions that he would recite this dua in the evening:
لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ، وَحْدَهُ لَا شَرِيكَ لَهُ، لَهُ الْمُلْكُ، وَلَهُ الْحَمْدُ، يُحْيِي وَيُمِيتُ وَهُوَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِير
Benefit
This dua teaches a believer that Allah alone is the Sovereign and absolute Owner. Human beings are weak and therefore always need Allah’s protection. The greatest concern is not merely worldly life, but salvation in the Hereafter.
In summary: This is a comprehensive dua of tawhid, self-purification, and protection from the dangers of the Hereafter.
Complete Submission to Allah
Hadith 37. Hazrat Bara ibn Azib (رضي الله عنه) said that the Messenger of Allah (صلى الله عليه وسلم) used to recite this dua in the morning and evening:
أَصْبَحْنَا وَأَصْبَحَ الْمُلْكُ لِلَّهِ، وَالْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ، وَلَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ، وَحْدَهُ لَا شَرِيكَ لَهُ،
اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ مِنْ خَيْرِ هَذَا الْيَوْمِ، وَخَيْرِ مَا بَعْدَهُ، وَأَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ شَرِّ هَذَا الْيَوْمِ، وَشَرِّ مَا بَعْدَهُ،
اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنَ الْكَسَلِ وَسُوءِ الْكِبَرِ، وَأَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ عَذَابٍ فِي النَّارِ، وَعَذَابٍ فِي الْقَبْرِ
We have entered the morning, and all sovereignty belongs to Allah. All praise belongs to Allah. There is no deity except Allah. He is One and has no partner.
O Allah! I ask You for the goodness of this day and the goodness that comes after it. And I seek refuge in You from the evil of this day and the evil that comes after it.
O Allah! I seek refuge in You from laziness and the evils of old age. I seek refuge in You from the punishment of Hellfire and the punishment of the grave.
Benefit
This dua is essentially a believer’s declaration of complete submission and a plea for Allah’s protection and safety at the beginning of a new day.
All Sovereignty Belongs to Allah

أَصْبَحْنَا وَأَصْبَحَ الْمُلْكُ لِلَّهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ، وَالْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ، وَالْكِبْرِيَاءُ وَالْعَظَمَةُ لِلَّهِ، وَالْخَلْقُ وَالْأَمْرُ، وَاللَّيْلُ وَالنَّهَارُ وَمَا سَكَنَ فِيهِمَا لِلَّهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ،
اللَّهُمَّ اجْعَلْ أَوَّلَ هَذَا النَّهَارِ صَلَاحًا، وَأَوْسَطَهُ نَجَاحًا، وَآخِرَهُ فَلَاحًا، يَا أَرْحَمَ الرَّاحِمِينَ
We have entered the morning, and all sovereignty belongs to Allah, the Mighty and Majestic. All praise belongs to Allah. Grandeur and greatness belong to Allah.
All creation, all affairs, the night and the day, and everything that dwells within them belong to Allah, the Mighty and Majestic.
O Allah! Make the beginning of this day good for me, its middle successful, and its end prosperous, O Most Merciful of those who show mercy.
Benefit
This dua is a prayer for a believer to manage the entire day well and bring it to a successful conclusion.
In summary: This dua teaches a believer that every part of the day is under Allah’s control and that His mercy is needed at every moment.
Seeking Unexpected Good and Protection from Unexpected Harm
Hadith 39. Hazrat Anas (رضي الله عنه) said that the Messenger of Allah (صلى الله عليه وسلم) used to recite this dua in the morning and evening:
اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ مِنْ فَجْأَةِ الْخَيْرِ، وَأَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ فَجْأَةِ الشَّرِّ
O Allah! I ask You for unexpected goodness, and I seek refuge in You from unexpected evil.

Security in Religion and Worldly Life
Hadith 40. Zubayr ibn Mut‘im (رحمه الله) said: We were sitting in the gathering of Hazrat Abdullah ibn Umar (رضي الله عنه). He said:
“I heard the Messenger of Allah (صلى الله عليه وسلم) reciting this dua in the morning and evening:”
اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ الْعَافِيَةَ فِي الدُّنْيَا وَالْآخِرَةِ، اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ الْعَفْوَ وَالْعَافِيَةَ فِي دِينِي وَدُنْيَايَ وَأَهْلِي وَمَالِي،
اللَّهُمَّ اسْتُرْ عَوْرَاتِي، وَآمِنْ رَوْعَاتِي،
اللَّهُمَّ احْفَظْنِي مِنْ بَيْنِ يَدَيَّ وَمِنْ خَلْفِي، وَعَنْ يَمِينِي وَعَنْ شِمَالِي، وَمِنْ فَوْقِي، وَأَعُوذُ بِعَظَمَتِكَ أَنْ أُغْتَالَ مِنْ تَحْتِي
O Allah! I ask You for well-being and safety in this world and in the Hereafter. O Allah! I ask You for forgiveness and well-being in my religion, my worldly life, my family, and my wealth.
O Allah! Conceal my faults and calm my fears.
O Allah! Protect me from before me, from behind me, from my right, from my left, and from above me. And I seek refuge in Your greatness from being unexpectedly destroyed from beneath me.
Hazrat Zubayr (رحمه الله) said that being destroyed from beneath refers to being swallowed up by the earth. Ubadah (رحمه الله) said: “I do not know whether this was the statement of Zubayr (رحمه الله) or of the Prophet (صلى الله عليه وسلم).”
Benefit
This is a comprehensive dua focused on protection and safety. It was narrated for recitation in the morning and evening. Its central lesson is to seek complete protection and well-being from Allah for one’s religion, worldly life, family, wealth, body, and soul.
Giving Thanks for the Blessings of the Day and Night

Whoever recites the following dua in the morning has fulfilled the gratitude for that day:
اللَّهُمَّ مَا أَصْبَحَ بِي مِنْ نِعْمَةٍ أَوْ بِأَحَدٍ مِنْ خَلْقِكَ، فَمِنْكَ وَحْدَكَ لَا شَرِيكَ لَكَ، فَلَكَ الْحَمْدُ وَلَكَ الشُّكْرُ، فَقَدْ أَدَّى شُكْرَ ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمِ
O Allah! Whatever blessing has come to me this morning, or to any of Your creation, is from You alone. You have no partner. So to You belongs all praise, and to You belongs all gratitude.
Benefit
This dua teaches a believer that every blessing in life comes from Allah. Expressing gratitude at the beginning of the day helps cultivate a life of thankfulness and blessing.
A Dua for Entering Paradise
Hadith 42. Hazrat Buraydah (رضي الله عنه) said that the Messenger of Allah (صلى الله عليه وسلم) said: Whoever recites the following dua in the morning and evening:
رَبِّيَ اللَّهُ الَّذِي لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا هُوَ الْعَلِيُّ الْعَظِيمُ، تَوَكَّلْتُ عَلَى اللَّهِ، وَهُوَ رَبُّ الْعَرْشِ الْعَظِيمِ، مَا شَاءَ اللَّهُ كَانَ، وَمَا لَمْ يَشَأْ لَمْ يَكُنْ، أَعْلَمُ أَنَّ اللَّهَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ، وَأَنَّ اللَّهَ قَدْ أَحَاطَ بِكُلِّ شَيْءٍ عِلْمًا

O Allah! You are my Lord. There is no deity except You. You created me, and I am Your servant. I remain committed, to the best of my ability, to my covenant and promise to You.
I seek refuge in You from the evil of what I have done. I acknowledge Your blessings upon me, and I acknowledge my sins. So forgive me, for none forgives sins except You.

In the name of Allah, with whose name nothing in the earth or the heavens can cause harm. He is the All-Hearing, the All-Knowing.
