1 Words of remembrance for morning and evening & at the time of Sleeping 1

2 بسم هللا الرحمان الرحيم All praise is due to Allah alone, and peace and blessings be upon him after whom there is no other Prophet. 1. THE STATUS OF REMEMBERING ALLAAH (DHIKRULLAAH) The high status and value of Dhikrullaah, in Islaam in general is well known. Below are some reference from the Quraan and Sunnah for this. Allaah, the Almighty said which means: So remember Me; I will remember you. And be grateful to Me and do not deny Me. (2:152) What a majestic compensation for remembering Allaah! And, Allaah, the Almighty said which means: O you who have believed, remember Allah with much remembrance (41) And exalt Him morning and afternoon. (42) In the above aayah, in addition to Dhikr, Allaah, the Almighty also commands the believer to exalt Him (do Tasbeeh) morning and afternoon (the subject of this book). 2. THE EFFECT OF DHIKR ON THE BELIEVER And, Allaah, the Almighty said which means: The believers are only those who, when Allah is mentioned, their hearts become fearful, and when His verses are recited to them, it increases them in faith; and upon their Lord they rely - (2) The ones who establish prayer, and from what We have provided them, they spend. (8:3) 2

3 And, Allaah, the Almighty said which means: Those who have believed and whose hearts are assured by the remembrance of Allah. Unquestionably, by the remembrance of Allah hearts are assured." (28) And, Allaah, the Almighty said which means: [Such niches are] in mosques which Allah has ordered to be raised and that His name be mentioned therein; exalting Him within them in the morning and the evenings (36) [Are] men whom neither commerce nor sale distracts from the remembrance of Allah and performance of prayer and giving of zakah. They fear a Day in which the hearts and eyes will [fearfully] turn about - (24:37) In Aayah 36, Allaah, the Most High, mention that in the mosques are men who exalt (do tasbeeh for) Him within them in the morning and the evenings And, Allaah, the Almighty said which means: So is one whose breast Allah has expanded to [accept] Islam and he is upon a light from his Lord [like one whose heart rejects it]? Then, woe to those whose hearts are hardened against the remembrance of Allah. Those are in manifest error. (22) Allah has sent down the best statement: a consistent Book wherein is reiteration. The skins shiver therefrom of those who fear their Lord; then their skins and their hearts relax at the remembrance of Allah. That is the guidance of Allah by which He guides whom He wills. (39:23) Also, from the Sunnah of the Prophet SollAllaahu `alaiyhi wa sallam it is reported that `aaishah, may Allaah be pleased with her, said that the Messenger of Allaah used to remember Allaah in every moment of his. 3

4 3. ADDITIONAL ENCOURAGEMENT TO BE IN DHIKRULLAAH MORNING AND EVENING And, Allaah, the Almighty said which means: And remember your Lord within yourself in humility and in fear without being apparent in speech - in the mornings and the evenings. And do not be among the heedless. (205) Anas, may Allaah be pleased with him, said that he heard the Prophet SollAllaahu `alaiyhi wa sallam say: "That I sit with people remembering Almighty Allah from the morning (Fajr) prayer until sunrise is more beloved to me than freeing four slaves from among the Children of Isma'il. And, that I sit with people remembering Allah from the afternoon ('Asr) prayer until the sun sets is more beloved to me than freeing four slaves from among the Children of Isma'il." 1 Alhmadulillaah, all the above references indicate the great value of this simple act of worship. In this publication we would only restrict ourselves to Dhikr for the morning and evening and at the time of sleeping. The following needs to be understood: 1) The Adhkaar are all taken from Husn Muslim by Sa`eed bin `Aliyy ibn Wahf Al-Qahtaanee (may Allaah reward him abundantly). 2) He did not restrict himself to the verification of the Ah- Hadeeth of Shaikh Al-Albanie (rahimahullaah) although he strongly relies on them. However, if his Shaikh Ibn 1 Al-Albani graded it good in SahihAbu Dawud. 4

5 Our additions: Baaz (rahimahullaah) mentions that a Hadeeth is good, he will use it even if Al-Albine says differently. 3) In his book the reward for the Dhikr is not generally cited. We feel that this is important to encourage the student to make him strive to do these Adhkaar, so we added it wherever there is mention of it. 4) We formatted the morning and evening Dhikr differently from the way he did, since sometimes a dhikr has to be used for morning and the evening but needs an adjustment to indicate this. We, by Allaah s grace, related the hadeeth fully as it should be recited for the morning and then related the complete narration as it should be recited in the evening. 5) We have divided the morning and evening dhikr into three sections. First, Adhkaar for the morning only; Second, Adhkaar that must be said for both morning and evening and; third, Adhkaar for evening only. To use the compilation effectively, a person starts his/her dhikr for morning by reading the MORNING ONLY section and then read THE MORNING AND EVENING section. For the evening, he starts with the MORNING AND EVENING section and then read the EVENING section. We hope and pray that Allaah, the Almighty blesses this effort and make it beneficial for the Muslims. We also pray that Allaah forgive us and our parents and all Muslims and grant us all His Jannah. Aameen. 5

6 ADHKAAR FOR MORNING ONLY 1. FOR MORNING ONLY "الل ه م إ ي ن أ س أ ل ك ع ل ما ن اف عا و ر زقا ط يبا و ع م ال م ت ق ب ال ". Allaahumma innee asaluka 'ilman naafi'an, wa rizqan tayyiban, wa 'amalan mutaqabbalan. O Allah, I ask You for knowledge that is of benefit, good provision, and deeds that will be accepted.

Subhaanallaahi wa bihamdihi: 'Adada khalqih, wa ridaa nafsih, wa zinata 'arshih, wa midaada kalimaatih. How perfect is Allah! And all praise is for Him; (to the extent of) the number of His creation, His Pleasure, the weight of His Throne, and by the extent of His Words. (Recite three times in Arabic in the morning) 3 2 Ibn As-Sunni, Ibn Majah. Its chain of transmission is good (Hasan). 3 Muslim. 6

Allaahumma innee asbahtu ush-hiduka wa ush-hidu hamalata 'arshika, wa malaaikataka wajamee'a khalqika, annaka AntAllaahu laa ilaaha illaa Anta wahdaka laa shareeka laka, wa anna Muhammadan 'abduka wa Rasooluk. O Allah, I have entered a new morning and call upon You and upon the bearers of Your Throne, upon Your angels and all creation to bear witness that surely You are Allah, there is none worthy of worship but You alone, You have no partners, and that Muhammad is Your slave and Your Messenger. (Recite four times in Arabic.) 4 4.

We have entered a new day and with it all dominion is Allah's. All praise is for Allah. None has the right to be worshipped but Allah alone, Who has no partner. To Allah belongs the dominion, and to Him belongs all praise and He is Able to do all things. My Lord, I ask You for the goodness of this day and for the goodness that comes after it, and I seek refuge in You from the evil of this day and of evils that comes after it. My Lord, I seek refuge in You from laziness and helpless old age. My Lord, I seek refuge in You from the punishment of Hell-fire, and from the punishment of the grave FOR MORNING "الل ه م م ا أ ص ب ح ب م ن ن ع م ة أ و ب أ ح د م ن خ ل ق ك ف م ن ك و ح د ك ل ش ر يك ل ك ف ل ك ا ل م د و ل ك الش ك ر ". Allaahumma maa asbaha bee min ni'matin aw bi ahadin min khalqika faminka wahdaka laa shareeka laka, falakal-hamdu wa lakash-shukru. 5 Muslim. 8

9 O Allah, whatever blessing has been received by me or any of Your creation this morning is from You and You alone, You have no partner. For you is (all) the praise and thanks. REWARD: Whoever recites this in the morning has completed his obligation to thank Allah for that day; 6 6. FOR MORNING "أ ص ب ح ن ا و أ ص ب ح ال م ل ك هلل ر يب ال ع ال م ي ا لل ه م إ ي ن أ س أ ل ك خ ي ر ه ذ ا ال ي وم : ف ت ح ه و ن ص ر ه و ن و ر ه و ب ر ك ت ه و ه د اه و أ ع وذ ب ك م ن ش ير م ا ف يه و ش ير م ا ب ع د ه. Asbahnaa wa asbahal-mulku lillaahi Rabbil-'aalameen, Allaahumma innee asaluka khayra haazhal-yawmi: Fathahu wa nasrahu wa noorahu, wa barakatahu, wa hudaahu, waa'oozhu bika min sharri maafeehi wa sharri maa ba'dahu. We have entered a new day and with it all the dominion which belongs to Allah, Lord of all that exists. O Allah, I ask You for the goodness of this day, its triumphs, its victories, its light, its blessings, and its guidance. I seek refuge in You from the evil that is in it and from the evil that follows it. 7 6 Aboo Dawood, Ibn Hibbaan (Al-Albanie says it is weak) 7 Aboo Dawood 9

Allaahumma bika asbahnaa, wa bika amsaynaa, wa bika nahyaa, wa bika namootu wa ilaykan-nushoor. O Allah, by You we enter the morning and by You we enter the evening, by You we live and by You we die, and to You is the Final Return (i.e. resurrection from the dead). 8. FOR MORNING أ ص ب ح ن ا ع ل ى ف ط ر ة ا ل س ال م و ع ل ى ك ل م ة ا ل خ ال ص و ع ل ى د ين ن ب ين ا م م د ص ل ى اهلل ع ل يه و س ل م و ع ل ى م ل ة أ ب ين ا إ ب ر اه يم ح ن يف ا م س ل ما و م ا ك ان م ن ال م ش ر ك ي ". Asbahnaa 'alaa fitratil-islaami wa 'alaa kalimatil-ikhlaas, wa 'alaa deeni Nabiyyinaa Muhammadin (sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallama), wa 'alaa millati abeenaa Ibraaheema, haneefan Musliman wa maa kaana minal-mushrikeen. We have entered a new day upon the natural religion of Islam, the word of pure faith, the religion of our Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), and the faith of our father Ibrahim. He was upright (in worshipping Allah), and a Muslim and he was not of those who associate others (in worship) with Allah. 10

He knows what happens to them in this world, and what will happen to them in the Hereafter. And they will never encompass anything of His Knowledge except that which He wills. His Throne extends over the heavens and the 11

12 earth, and He feels no fatigue in guarding and preserving them.

Allaahumma innee amsaytu ush-hiduka wa ush-hidu hamalata 'arshika, wa malaaikataka wajamee'a khalqika, annaka AntAllaahu laa ilaaha illaa Anta wahdaka laa shareeka laka, wa anna Muhammadan 'abduka wa Rasooluk. O Allah, I have entered another evening and call upon You and upon the bearers of Your Throne, upon Your angels and all creation to bear witness that surely You are Allah, there is none worthy of worship but You alone, You have no partners, and that Muhammad is Your slave and Your Messenger. (Recite four times in Arabic.) 21 Allah will spare whoever says this four times in the morning or evening from the fire of Hell. When you reach the evening, you should say: 4. FOR EVENING أ م س ي ب م ن ن ع م ة أ و ب أ ح د م ن خ ل ق ك ف م ن ك و ح د ك "الل ه م م ا ل ش ر يك ل ك ف ل ك ا ل م د و ل ك الش ك ر ". 21 Abu Dawud. It was also reported by Al-Bukhari in Al-'Adab Al- Mufrad, Abu Dawud's chains of transmission are good (Hasan), Ibn Baz 23

24 Allaahumma maa amsaa bee min ni'matin aw bi ahadin min khalqika faminka wahdaka laa shareeka laka, falakal-hamdu wa lakash-shukru. O Allah, whatever blessing has been received by me or any of Your creation this eveningis from You and You alone, You have no partner. For you is (all) the praise and thanks. 22 Whoever says it in the evening has completed his obligation for gratefulness for that night. 5. FOR EVENING أ م س ي ال م ل ك هلل ر يب ال ع ال م ي ا لل ه م إ ي ن أ س أ ل ك خ ي ر " أ م س ي ن ا و ه ذ ه ال ل يل ة : ف ت ح ه ا و ن ص ر ه ا و ن و ر ه ا و ب ر ك ت ه ا و ه د اه ا و أ ع وذ ب ك م ن ش ير م ا ف يه ا و ش ير ما ب ع د ها. Amsaynaa waamsal-mulku lillaah Rabbil-'aalameen, Allaahumma innee asaluka khayra haazhihil-laylat; Fathuhaa, wa nasruhaa wa nooruhaa, wa barakatuhaa, wa hudaahaa, waa'oozhu bika min sharri maa fee haawa sharri maa ba'dahaa. We have entered a new evening and with it all the dominion which belongs to Allah, Lord of all that exists. O Allah, I ask You for the goodness of this night, its triumphs, its victories, its light, its blessings, and its guidance. I seek refuge in You from the evil that is in it and from the evil that follows it Abu Dawud, Ibn Hibban. Good chain of transmission Ibn Baz, 23 Abu Dawud. Its transmission chain is good (Hasan). 24

25 6. FOR EVENING أ م س ي ن ا ع ل ى ف ط ر ة ا ل س ال م و ع ل ى ك ل م ة ا ل خ ال ص و ع ل ى د ي ن ن ب ين ا م م د ص ل ى اهلل ع ل يه و س ل م و ع ل ى م ل ة أ ب ين ا إ ب ر اه يم ح ن يف ا م س ل ما و م ا ك ان م ن ال م ش ر ك ي ". Amsaynaa 'alaa fitratil-islaam wa 'alaa kalimatil-ikhlaas, wa 'alaa deeni Nabiyyinaa Muhammadin (sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallama), wa 'alaa millati abeenaa Ibraaheema, haneefan Musliman wa maa kaana minalmushrikeen. We have entered a new evening upon the natural religion of Islam, the word of pure faith, the religion of our Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), and the faith of our father Ibrahim. He was upright (in worshipping Allah), and a Muslim and he was not of those who associate others (in worship) with Allah EVENING ONLY "أ ع وذ ب ك ل م ا اهلل الت ام ا م ن ش ير م ا خ ل ق ". Aoozhu bikalimaatil-laahit-taammaati min sharri maa khalaq. I seek refuge in the Perfect Words of Allah from the evil of what He has created. (Recite three times in Arabic in the evening.) 24 Ahmad, An-Nasa'i, Amalul- Yawm wal-laylah, At-Tirmithi 25

26 Whoever recites this three times in the evening will be protected from insect stings FOR MORNING AND EVENING " ل إ ل ه إ ل اهلل و ح د ه ل ش ر يك ل ه ل ه ع ل ى ك يل ش ي ء ق د ير ". ال م ل ك و ل ه ا ل م د و ه و Laa ilaaha illallaahu wahdahu laa shareeka lahu, lahulmulku wa lahul-hamdu, wa Huwa 'alaa kulli shayin Qadeer. None has the right to be worshipped but Allah alone, Who has no partner. His is the dominion and His is the praise and He is Able to do all things. (Recite ten times in Arabic or one time to ward off laziness.) Rewards: i. Saying it ten (10) times in the morning and evening: Allah will write ten Hasanaat (rewards) for whoever recites this ten times in the morning, and forgive him ten misdeeds and give him the reward of freeing ten slaves and protect him from Satan. Whoever recites this ten times in the evening will get this same reward. 26 Saying it ten (10) times in the morning and evening: Abu Hurayrah narrated that the Prophet said: ii. 25 Ahmad, An-Nasa'i, 'Amalul-Yawm wal-laylah, At-Tirmithi. According to Al-Albani, Ibn Majah's chain of transmission is sound (Sahih), and following Ibn Baz, At-Tirmithi's report is good (Hasan). 26 An-Nasa'i, 'Amalul-Yawm wal-laylah, Albani (Sahih). 26

27 iii. iv. "Allah will write one hundred Hasanat for whoever says There is no God but Allah alone, He has no partner. To Allah is possession of everything, and to Him all praise is. He is Capable of all things' ten times in the morning, and forgive him one hundred misdeeds. He will have the reward of freeing a slave and will be protected from Satan throughout the day unto dusk. Whoever says it in the evening will have the same reward." 27 Saying it once (1) in the morning and evening: Whoever recites this in the morning, will have the reward of freeing a slave from the Children of Isma'il. Ten Hasanaat (rewards) will be written for him, and he will be forgiven ten misdeeds, raised up ten degrees, and be protected from Satan until evening. Whoever says it in the evening will have the same reward until morning. 28 Saying it (100) one hundred times for the day Whoever recites Laa ilaaha illallaahu wahdahu laa shareeka lahu, lahul-mulku wa lahul-hamdu, wa Huwa 'alaa kulli shayin Qadeer times in a day will have (the reward) of freeing 10 slave. 100 Hasanaat (good deeds rewards) will be written for him, and 100 bad deeds will be erased, and he be protected from Satan until evening. And none will come with better than him except who says it more (than 100 times). 29 In explaining this Hadeeth, an Nawawee said: What is apparent from this hadeeth is that the one who says it 100 times in his day, be it together or separate in different sittings, or some of it in the first part of the day and some of it at the end of 27 Ahmad. Its chain of transmission is good (Hasan), Ibn Baz, 28 Abu Dawud, Ahmad, Al-Albani grades it Sahih. 29 Al-Bukhaaree and Muslim 27

28 the day will achieve. However, the best thing is to do it together in the first part of the day so that the protection would be for his entire day. 9. (ONE CAN DO IN MORNING) ALTHOUGH IT IS FOR ANYTIME IN THE DAY أ س ت غ ف ر اهلل و أ ت وب إ ل ي ه Astaghfirullaaha wa atoobu ilayh. I seek the forgiveness of Allah and repent to Him. (Recite one hundred times in Arabic during the day) Al-Bukhari, cf. Al-Asqalani, Fathul-Bari, Muslim 28

29 What to say before sleeping 1.

I seek refuge in Allah from Satan, the outcast. With the Name of Allah (I begin), the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful - Allah! There is none worthy of worship but He, the Ever Living, the One Who sustains and protects all that exists. Neither slumber nor sleep overtakes Him. To Him belongs whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on the earth. Who is he that can intercede with Him except with His Permission? He knows what happens to them in this world, and what will happen to them in the Hereafter. And they will never encompass anything of His Knowledge except that which He wills. His Throne extends over the heavens and the earth, and He feels no fatigue in guarding and preserving them. And He is the Most High, the Most Great. [Al-Baqarah 2:255]. 31

32 Reward: Whoever reads this when he lies down to sleep will have a guardian from Allah remain with him and Satan will not be able to come near him until he rises in the morning BEFORE SLEEPING "آم ن الر س ول ب ا أ ن ز ل إ ل ي ه م ن ر بيه و ال م ؤ م ن ون ك ل آم ن ب اهلل و م ال ئ ك ت ه و ك ت ب ه و ر س ل ه ل ن ف يرق ب ي أ ح د م ن ر س ل ه و ق ال وا س ع ن ا و أ ط ع ن ا غ ف ر ان ك ر ب ن ا و إ ل ي ك ال م ص ي ل ي ك ليف اهلل ن ف س ا إ ل و س ع ه ا ل ا م ا ك س ب ت و ع ل ي ه ا م ا اك ت س ب ت ر ب ن ا ل ت ؤ اخ ذ ن ا إ ن ن س ين ا أ و أ خ ط أ ن ا ر ب ن ا و ل ت م ل ع ل ي ن ا إ ص ر ا ك م ا ح ل ت ه ع ل ى ال ذ ي ن م ن ق ب ل ن ا ر ب ن ا و ل ت يمل ن ا م ا ل ط اق ة ل ن ا ب ه و اع ف ع ن ا و اغ ف ر ل ن ا و ار ح ن ا أ ن ت م و ل ن ا ف ان ص ر ن ا ع ل ى ال ق و م ال ك اف ر ين " Aamanar-Rasoolu bimaa unzila elaiyhi mir-rabbihi walmu'minoon, kullun aamana billaahi wa malaaikatihi wa Kutubihi wa Rusulih, laa nufarriqu bayna ahadimmir-rusulihi, wa qaaloo sami'naa wa ata'naa ghufraanaka Rabbanaa wa 'ilaykal-maseer.

33 bih, wa'fu 'annaa, waghfir lanaa warhamnaa, Anta Mawlaanaa fansurnaa 'alal-qawmil-kaafireen. The Messenger believes in what has been send down to him from his Lord, and so do the believers. Each one believes in Allah, His Angels, His Books, and His Messengers, (they say): "We make no distinction between any of His Messengers," and they say: "We hear, and we obey. (We seek) Your Forgiveness, our Lord, and to You is the return. Allah place not a burden on a soul greater than it can bear. It gets reward for the (good) which it has earned, and it is punished for that (evil) it has earned. Our Lord! Punish us not if we forget or fall into error. Our Lord! Lay not on us a burden like that which You did lay on those before us. Our Lord! Put not on us a burden greater than we have strength to bear. Pardon us and grant us forgiveness. Have mercy on us. You are our Protector, and help us against the disbelieving people. [Al-Baqarah 2:285-6]. These two Verses will be sufficient for anyone who recites them at night before sleeping BEFORE SLEEPING If any of you rises from his bed and later returns to it, let him dust off his bed with his waist garment three times and mention the Name of Allah, for he does not know what may have entered the bed after him, and when he lies down he should say Al-Bukhari, cf. Al-Asqalani, Fathul-Bari., Muslim. 33

O Allah, You have created my soul and You take it back. To You belongs is its death and its life. If You give it life then 34 Al-Bukhari, and Muslim 34

35 protect it, and if You cause it to die then forgive it. O Allah, I ask You for good health BEFORE SLEEPING "When the Prophet (SAW) wanted to lie down to sleep, he used to place his right hand under his cheek and say... "الل ه م ق ع ذ اب ك ي و م ت ب ع ث ع ب اد ك ". Allaahumma qinee 'azaabaka yawma tab'athu 'ibaadak. O Allah, save me from Your punishment on the Day that You resurrect Your slaves. (Recite three times in Arabic) BEFORE SLEEPING Bismika Allaahumma amootu wa 'ahyaa. In Your Name, O Allah, I die and I live. 37 "ب ا س ك الل ه م أ م و و أ ح ي ا". 35 Muslim and Ahmad. 36 Abu Dawud, See also Al-Albani, Sahih At-Tirmithi 37 See also Al-Asqalani, Fathul-Bari, Muslim 35

O Allah! Lord of the seven heavens and Lord of the Magnificent Throne, our Lord, and the Lord of everything. Splitter of the grain and the date-stone, Revealer of the Torah and the Injeel and the Furqdn (the Qur'an), I seek refuge in You from the evil of everything that You shall seize by the forelock. O Allah You are the First and nothing has come before you, and You are the Last, and nothing may come after You. You are the Most High, nothing is above You and You are the Most Near and nothing is nearer than You. Remove our debts from us and enrich us against poverty BEFORE SLEEPING "ا ل م د هلل ال ذ ي ل ه و ل م ؤ و ي ". أ ط ع م ن ا و س ق ان ا و ك ف ان ا و آو ان ا ف ك م م ن ل ك ا ف Alhamdu lillaahil-lazee at'amanaa wa saqaanaa, wa kafaanaa, wa aawaanaa, fakam mimman laa kaafiya lahu wa laa mu-wiy. 39 Muslim 37

O Allah, Knower of the unseen and the evident, Maker of the heavens and the earth, Lord of everything and its Master, I bear witness that there is none worthy of worship but You. I seek refuge in You from the evil of my soul and from the evil of Satan and his helpers. (I seek refuge in You) from bringing evil upon my soul and from harming any Muslim Muslim 41 Abu Dawud. See also Al-Albani, SahihAt-Tirmithi. 38

39 12.

O Allah, I submit myself to You, entrust my affairs to You, turn my face to You, and lay myself down depending upon You, hoping in You and fearing You. There is no refuge, and no escape, except to You. I believe in Your Book (the Qur'an) that You revealed, and the Prophet whom You sent. 42 Reward: The Prophet (sollallaahu `alaiyhis salaam) said: "Whoever says this and dies in his sleep, has died in a state of the natural monotheism (Fitrah)." 42 Al-Bukhari, cf.
