الأذكار اليومية

These need no special time or place. Say them while walking, waiting or working. The Prophet ﷺ described the reward of each in his own words.

  1. The best remembrance

    لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ

    La ilaha illallah

    There is no god but Allah.

    Source: Jami' at-Tirmidhi · Sunan Ibn Majah

    The Prophet ﷺ called this the best form of remembrance.

  2. Glory and praise

    سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ وَبِحَمْدِهِ

    Subhan-Allahi wa bihamdih

    Glory be to Allah, and praise be to Him.

    Whoever says it a hundred times in a day has his sins erased, even if they were like the foam of the sea.

  3. Light on the tongue, heavy on the scale

    سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ وَبِحَمْدِهِ، سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ الْعَظِيمِ

    Subhan-Allahi wa bihamdihi, subhan-Allahil-'azim

    Glory and praise be to Allah. Glory be to Allah, the Magnificent.

    Source: Sahih al-Bukhari · Sahih Muslim

    The Prophet ﷺ described these two phrases as light on the tongue, weighty in the Balance, and beloved to the Most Merciful. These are the closing words of Sahih al-Bukhari.

  4. The four words most beloved to Allah

    سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ وَالْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ وَلَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَاللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ

    Subhan-Allah, wal-hamdu lillah, wa la ilaha illallah, wallahu akbar

    Glory be to Allah, all praise belongs to Allah, there is no god but Allah, and Allah is the Greatest.

    Source: Sahih Muslim

    The Prophet ﷺ said it does not matter which of the four you begin with.

  5. A treasure of Paradise

    لَا حَوْلَ وَلَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللَّهِ

    La hawla wa la quwwata illa billah

    There is no power to change anything and no strength to do anything except through Allah.

    Source: Sahih al-Bukhari · Sahih Muslim

    The Prophet ﷺ called these words a treasure from the treasures of Paradise. Some narrations outside the two Sahihs add “al-'aliyyil-'azim” (the Most High, the Magnificent).

  6. For a heart that stays firm

    يَا مُقَلِّبَ الْقُلُوبِ ثَبِّتْ قَلْبِي عَلَى دِينِكَ

    Ya muqallibal-qulub, thabbit qalbi 'ala dinik

    O Turner of hearts, keep my heart firm upon Your religion.

    Source: Jami' at-Tirmidhi

    Umm Salamah said this was the dua the Prophet ﷺ made most often.

  7. Asking by Allah's greatest name

    اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ بِأَنِّي أَشْهَدُ أَنَّكَ أَنْتَ اللَّهُ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ الأَحَدُ الصَّمَدُ الَّذِي لَمْ يَلِدْ وَلَمْ يُولَدْ وَلَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ كُفُوًا أَحَدٌ

    Allahumma inni as'aluka bi anni ash-hadu annaka antallahu la ilaha illa antal-ahadus-samad, alladhi lam yalid wa lam yulad, wa lam yakun lahu kufuwan ahad

    O Allah, I ask You, bearing witness that You are Allah, there is no god but You, the One, the Self-Sufficient, who neither begets nor was begotten, and to whom none is equal.

    Source: Jami' at-Tirmidhi · Sunan Abi Dawud

    On hearing a man pray with these words, the Prophet ﷺ said he had asked Allah by His greatest name, by which, when He is called, He answers. After it, ask for what you need.
