Daily Duas — Morning & Evening Supplications
Essential daily Islamic supplications for morning, evening, meals, travel, and sleep. Presented with Arabic transliteration and English translations.
Morning Duas
The morning adhkar (remembrances) recited after Fajr prayer or upon starting the day are an important Sunnah practice that brings blessings and protection throughout the day. The Prophet (peace be upon him) never neglected his morning and evening adhkar.
1. Ayatul Kursi (Al-Baqarah 2:255)
Allahu la ilaha illa huwal hayyul qayyum. La ta'khuzuhu sinatun wa la nawm. Lahu ma fis-samawati wa ma fil-ard. Man zallazi yashfa'u indahu illa bi-iznih. Ya'lamu ma bayna aydihim wa ma khalfahum. Wa la yuhituna bi-shay'in min ilmihi illa bima sha'a. Wasi'a kursiyyuhus-samawati wal-ard. Wa la ya'uduhu hifzuhuma wa huwal aliyyul azim.
Meaning: Allah — there is no deity except Him, the Ever-Living, the Self-Sustaining. Neither drowsiness overtakes Him nor sleep. To Him belongs whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on the earth...
Whoever recites Ayatul Kursi after every obligatory prayer, nothing prevents them from entering Paradise except death (An-Nasa'i).
2. Morning Dhikr — Triple Remembrance
Subhanallahi wa bihamdihi (33 times)
Glory be to Allah and praise is due to Him.
Allahumma ajirni minan-nar (7 times)
O Allah, protect me from the Hellfire.
La ilaha illallahu wahdahu la sharika lah, lahul mulku wa lahul hamdu wa huwa ala kulli shay'in qadir (once)
There is no god but Allah, alone, without partner. To Him belongs sovereignty and praise, and He has power over all things.
3. Morning Supplication
Asbahna wa asbahal-mulku lillah, wal-hamdu lillah, la ilaha illallahu wahdahu la sharika lah, lahul-mulku wa lahul-hamdu wa huwa ala kulli shay'in qadir. Rabbi as'aluka khayra ma fi hazal-yawm wa khayra ma ba'dahu, wa a'uzu bika min sharri ma fi hazal-yawm wa sharri ma ba'dahu.
Meaning: We have entered the morning and all sovereignty belongs to Allah. Praise is due to Allah. There is no god but Allah, alone, without partner. O my Lord, I ask You for the good of this day and the good of what follows it, and I seek refuge in You from the evil of this day and the evil of what follows it.
4. Bismillahilladhi la yadurru
Bismillahilladhi la yadurru ma'asmihi shay'un fil-ardi wa la fis-sama'i wa huwas-sami'ul alim. (3 times)
Meaning: In the name of Allah, with whose name nothing on earth or in the heavens can cause harm, and He is the All-Hearing, the All-Knowing.
Whoever recites this three times in the morning will not be harmed by anything until evening (Tirmidhi).
Evening Duas
The evening adhkar are recited after Maghrib prayer or after sunset. They share much in common with the morning duas but contain certain variations.
1. The Protective Surahs (Al-Mu'awwidhat)
Surah Al-Ikhlas(3 times) — “Qul huwallahu ahad...”
Surah Al-Falaq(3 times) — “Qul a'uzu bi-rabbil falaq...”
Surah An-Nas(3 times) — “Qul a'uzu bi-rabbin nas...”
The Prophet (peace be upon him) would recite these three surahs three times every evening, blow into his hands, and wipe them over his body (Bukhari).
2. Evening Supplication
Amsayna wa amsal-mulku lillah, wal-hamdu lillah, la ilaha illallahu wahdahu la sharika lah, lahul-mulku wa lahul-hamdu wa huwa ala kulli shay'in qadir. Rabbi as'aluka khayra ma fi hazihil-laylah wa khayra ma ba'daha, wa a'uzu bika min sharri ma fi hazihil-laylah wa sharri ma ba'daha.
Meaning: We have entered the evening and all sovereignty belongs to Allah. Praise is due to Allah. O my Lord, I ask You for the good of this night and the good of what follows it, and I seek refuge in You from the evil of this night and the evil of what follows it.
3. Sayyidul Istighfar (Master Supplication for Forgiveness)
Allahumma anta Rabbi la ilaha illa ant. Khalaqtani wa ana abduk, wa ana ala ahdika wa wa'dika mastata't. A'uzu bika min sharri ma sana't. Abu'u laka bi-ni'matika alayya wa abu'u bi-zanbi. Faghfirli fa-innahu la yaghfiruz-zunuba illa ant.
Meaning: O Allah, You are my Lord. There is no god but You. You created me and I am Your servant. I try to keep my covenant and pledge to You as much as I can. I seek refuge in You from the evil of what I have done. I acknowledge Your blessings upon me and I confess my sins. Forgive me, for none forgives sins but You.
Whoever recites this master supplication in the evening and dies that night will be among the people of Paradise (Bukhari).
4. Evening Tasbih
SubhanAllah (33 times), Alhamdulillah (33 times), Allahu Akbar (33 times), followed by:
La ilaha illallahu wahdahu la sharika lah, lahul mulku wa lahul hamdu wa huwa ala kulli shay'in qadir (once)
Whoever completes these 100 remembrances will have all sins forgiven, even if they were as abundant as the foam of the sea (Muslim).
Meal Duas
Saying a supplication before and after meals is a Sunnah of the Prophet (peace be upon him), who never began a meal without remembering Allah.
Before Eating
Bismillah
In the name of Allah. If you forget to say it at the beginning, say “Bismillahi awwalahu wa akhirahu” when you remember (In the name of Allah, at its beginning and its end).
After Eating
Alhamdulillahilladhi at'amani haza wa razaqanihi min ghayri hawlin minni wa la quwwah.
Meaning: All praise is due to Allah who fed me this and provided it for me without any power or strength on my part.
Whoever recites this after eating will have their past sins forgiven (Tirmidhi).
Dua for the Host
Allahumma barik lahum fima razaqtahum, waghfir lahum warhamhum.
Meaning: O Allah, bless them in what You have provided for them, forgive them, and have mercy on them.
Travel Dua
This supplication is recited when embarking on any journey — by car, plane, bus, or train. The Prophet (peace be upon him) recited it at the start of every journey.
Subhanalladhi sakhkhara lana haza wa ma kunna lahu muqrinin, wa inna ila Rabbina la-munqalibun. Allahumma inna nas'aluka fi safarina haza al-birra wat-taqwa wa minal amali ma tarda. Allahumma hawwin alayna safarana haza watwi anna bu'dahu. Allahumma antas-sahibu fis-safari wal-khalifatu fil-ahl.
Meaning: Glory be to Him who has subjected this to us, and we could never have accomplished it ourselves. Indeed, to our Lord we shall return. O Allah, we ask You during this journey for righteousness, piety, and deeds pleasing to You. O Allah, make this journey easy for us and shorten its distance. O Allah, You are the Companion on the journey and the Guardian of the family.
Before Sleep
The duas recited before going to sleep serve as protection during the night and bring peaceful rest.
1. Sleep Supplication
Bismikallaahumma amutu wa ahyaa.
Meaning: In Your name, O Allah, I die and I live (i.e., I sleep and I wake).
2. Surah Al-Mulk
Reciting Surah Al-Mulk (Chapter 67) every night before sleep is a recommended Sunnah. The Prophet (peace be upon him) would not sleep without reciting it.
Surah Al-Mulk protects from the punishment of the grave (Tirmidhi, Abu Dawud).
3. Cupping Hands and the Protective Surahs
Before sleeping, cup your hands together, recite Surah Al-Ikhlas, Surah Al-Falaq, and Surah An-Nas, blow into your hands, and wipe them over as much of your body as you can reach. Repeat this three times.
A nightly practice of the Prophet (peace be upon him) recorded in Bukhari.
4. Upon Waking Up
Alhamdulillahilladhi ahyana ba'da ma amatana wa ilayhinn-nushur.
Meaning: All praise is due to Allah who gave us life after He caused us to die, and to Him is the resurrection.
General Tips on Making Dua
While following specific formulas is not required for personal supplication, the duas taught by the Prophet (peace be upon him) carry the greatest merit. Here are important points about the etiquette of dua:
- Begin with sincerity: Dua is not mechanical repetition — it is the heart turning to Allah. Reflect on the meaning as you recite.
- Wudu is recommended: While not required, being in a state of ablution adds merit to your supplication.
- Face the Qibla: When possible, face the direction of Makkah while making dua.
- Raise your hands: Turn your palms upward toward the sky when supplicating. This is the Sunnah of the Prophet (peace be upon him).
- Begin with praise and salawat: Start by praising Allah, then send blessings upon the Prophet, then make your requests.
- Be persistent and hopeful:Do not think “What if it is not accepted?” Allah does not turn away the hands of His servant empty (Tirmidhi).
- Be consistent: A small but regular practice is more meritorious than a large but irregular one. Dedicate a few minutes every day.

Frequently Asked Questions
Must I recite duas in Arabic?
Duas within the prayer (salah) must be in Arabic. Outside of prayer, you may supplicate in your own language. However, reciting the Prophet's taught supplications in Arabic carries greater merit.
When should I recite the morning adhkar?
The most meritorious time is after Fajr prayer. The window extends from dawn (fajr) until sunrise. If you miss this time, you can still recite them later in the day without losing their benefit entirely.
Do I need to recite all of these every day?
While reciting all of them is ideal, it is not obligatory. Reciting even a few consistently is better than reciting many inconsistently. Start with a few duas and gradually increase over time.
Can women recite duas during menstruation?
Yes, women can make dua and dhikr during menstruation. All forms of worship other than prayer (salah) and reciting the Quran — including supplication, tasbih, istighfar, and salawat — are permissible during menstruation.
Which duas should I teach children first?
Start with short, simple ones: Bismillah (before eating), Alhamdulillah (after eating), the sleep dua, and Ayatul Kursi. Teaching the meaning alongside the words is far more effective than rote memorization alone.
