Duas Before Sleeping and After Waking Up

Al-ḥamdu li-llāhi alladhī aḥyānā baʿda mā amātanā, wa ilayhi an-nushūr

All praise is for Allah who gave us life after having taken it from us and unto Him is the resurrection.

Lā ilāha illā llāhu waḥdahu lā sharyka lahu, lahu l-mulku walahu l-ḥamdu, wahuwa ʿalā kulli shayʾin qadīrun, subḥāna llāhi, wa-l-ḥamdu li-llāhi, walā ilāha illā llāhu, wa-llāhu akbaru, walā ḥawla walā quwwata illā bi-llāhi l-ʿaliyyi l-ʿaẓīmi, rabbi ighfr lī

None has the right to be worshipped except Allah, alone without associate, to Him belongs sovereignty and praise and He is over all things wholly capable. How perfect Allah is, and all praise is for Allah, and none has the right to be worshipped except Allah, Allah is the greatest and there is no power nor might except with Allah, The Most High, The Supreme. O my Lord forgive me

Al-ḥamdu li-llāhi alladhī ʿāfānī fī jasadī, waradda ʿalayya rūḥī, wa adhina ly bi-dhikrih

All praise is for Allah who restored to me my health and returned my soul and has allowed me to remember Him.

190 In the creation of the heavens and the earth, and in the alternation of night and day, are signs for people of understanding. 191 They remember Allah while standing, sitting, and lying on their sides, and they reflect on the creation of the heavens and the earth: “Our Lord, You did not create this without purpose. Glory be to You; protect us from the punishment of the Fire.” 192 “Our Lord, anyone You admit to the Fire is truly disgraced, and the wrongdoers will have no helpers.” 193 “Our Lord, we heard a caller inviting people to faith: ‘Believe in your Lord,’ and we believed. Our Lord, forgive our sins, erase our misdeeds, and let us die among the righteous.” 194 “Our Lord, grant us what You promised through Your messengers, and do not disgrace us on the Day of Resurrection. You never break Your promise.” 195 Their Lord answered them: “I will never let the work of any of you be lost, whether male or female; you are from one another. I will erase the misdeeds of those who emigrated, were driven from their homes, were harmed in My cause, fought, or were killed, and I will admit them to gardens beneath which rivers flow—a reward from Allah. With Allah is the finest reward.” 196 Do not be deceived by the freedom with which the disbelievers move through the land. 197 It is only a brief enjoyment; then Hell will be their home—and what a miserable resting place. 198 But those who are mindful of their Lord will have gardens beneath which rivers flow, where they will remain: a welcome from Allah. What is with Allah is better for the righteous. 199 Among the People of the Scripture are those who believe in Allah, in what was revealed to you, and in what was revealed to them. They humble themselves before Allah and do not trade Allah’s revelations for a small price. Their reward is with their Lord; Allah is swift in reckoning. 200 Believers, be steadfast, outdo one another in steadfastness, remain ready, and be mindful of Allah so that you may succeed.

In the name of Allah, the Most Compassionate, the Most Merciful. 112:1 Say: He is Allah, the One. 112:2 Allah, the One on whom all depend. 112:3 He neither begets nor was born. 112:4 Nothing is comparable to Him. In the name of Allah, the Most Compassionate, the Most Merciful. 113:1 Say: I seek refuge in the Lord of daybreak, 113:2 from the evil of what He created, 113:3 from the evil of darkness when it settles, 113:4 from the evil of those who blow upon knots, 113:5 and from the evil of an envier when he envies. In the name of Allah, the Most Compassionate, the Most Merciful. 114:1 Say: I seek refuge in the Lord of humankind, 114:2 the King of humankind, 114:3 the God of humankind, 114:4 from the evil of the retreating whisperer, 114:5 who whispers into people’s hearts, 114:6 whether from the jinn or humankind.

Allah—there is no deity except Him, the Ever-Living, the Sustainer of all. Neither drowsiness nor sleep overtakes Him. Everything in the heavens and on the earth belongs to Him. Who can intercede with Him except by His permission? He knows what lies before people and what lies beyond them, while they grasp nothing of His knowledge except what He wills. His Kursi extends over the heavens and the earth, and preserving them does not tire Him. He is the Most High, the Magnificent.

285 The Messenger believes in what was revealed to him from his Lord, as do the believers. Each believes in Allah, His angels, His scriptures, and His messengers. “We make no distinction between any of His messengers.” They say, “We hear and obey. Our Lord, we seek Your forgiveness, and to You is the final return.” 286 Allah does not burden a soul beyond its capacity. It receives the good it earns and bears the evil it commits. “Our Lord, do not hold us to account if we forget or make a mistake. Our Lord, do not place upon us a burden like the one You placed upon those before us. Our Lord, do not burden us with what we cannot bear. Pardon us, forgive us, and have mercy on us. You are our Protector, so grant us victory over the disbelieving people.”

In Your name my Lord, I lie down and in Your name I rise, so if You should take my soul then have mercy upon it, and if You should return my soul then protect it in the manner You do so with Your righteous servants.

O Allah, verily You have created my soul and You shall take it’s life, to You belongs it’s life and death. If You should keep my soul alive then protect it, and if You should take it’s life then forgive it. O Allah, I ask You to grant me good health.

Allāhumma qinī ʿadhābaka yawma tabʿathu ʿibādak

O Allah, protect me from Your punishment on the day Your servants are resurrected.

Bi-ismika llāhumma amūtu wa aḥyā

In Your name O Allah, I live and die.

Subḥāna llāh

Glory be to Allah.

Al-ḥamdu li-llāh

All praise is for Allah.

Allāhu akbar

Allah is the Greatest.

O Allah, Lord of the seven heavens and the exalted throne, our Lord and Lord of all things, Splitter of the seed and the date stone, Revealer of the Tawrah, the Injeel and the Furqan, I take refuge in You from the evil of all things You shall seize by the forelock i.e. You have total mastery over. O Allah, You are The First so there is nothing before You and You are The Last so there is nothing after You. You are Aththahir so there is nothing above You and You are Al-Batin so there is nothing closer than You. Settle our debt for us and spare us from poverty.

Al-ḥamdu li-llāhi alladhī aṭʿamanā wa saqānā, wa ka-fānā, wa āwānā, fakam mimman lā kāfiya lahu walā muʾwiy

All praise is for Allah, Who fed us and gave us drink, and Who is sufficient for us and has sheltered us, for how many have none to suffice them or shelter them.

O Allah, Knower of the seen and the unseen, Creator of the heavens and the earth, Lord and Sovereign of all things I bear witness that none has the right to be worshipped except You. I take refuge in You from the evil of my soul and from the evil and shirk of the devil, and from committing wrong against my soul or bringing such upon another Muslim.

Allāhumma aslamtu nafsī ilayka, wa fawwaḍtu amrī ilayka, wa wajjahtu wajhī ilayka, wa aljaʾtu ẓahrī ilayka, raghbatan wa rahbatan ilayka, lā maljaʾa walā manjā minka illā ilayka, āmantu bi-kitābika alladhī anzalta, wa bi-nabiyyika alladhī arsalt

O Allah, I submit my soul unto You, and I entrust my affair unto You, and I turn my face towards You, and I totally rely on You, in hope and fear of You. Verily there is no refuge nor safe haven from You except with You. I believe in Your Book which You have revealed and in Your Prophet whom You have sent.

Lā ilāha illā llāhu l-wāḥidu l-qahhru, rabbu as-samawāti wa-l-ʾarḍi wamā baynahumā l-ʿazyzu l-ghaffār

None has the right to be worshipped except Allah, The One, AL-Qahhar. Lord of the heavens and the Earth and all between them, The Exalted in Might, The Oft-Forgiving.

Aʿūdhu bi-ka-li-māti llāhi at-tāmmāti min ghaḍabihi wa ʿiqābihi, washarri ʿibādihi, wamin hamazāti ash-shayṭīni waʾan yaḥḍurūn

I take refuge in the perfect words of Allah from His anger and punishment, and from the evil of His servants, and from the madness and appearance of devils.
