Dua When Waking Up

Dua When Waking Up

The first words on a believer's tongue each morning acknowledge that sleep is a minor death and waking is a resurrection granted by Allah. Beginning the day with this remembrance sets its tone before a single worldly thought enters.

1. Upon Waking

الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي أَحْيَانَا بَعْدَ مَا أَمَاتَنَا وَإِلَيْهِ النُّشُورُ
Alhamdu lillaahil-lathee ahyaanaa ba'da maa amaatanaa wa ilayhin-nushoor.
All praise be to Allah who gave us life after death, and to Him is the resurrection.
Source: Sahih al-Bukhari 6312

2. La ilaha illallah upon waking

لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَحْدَهُ لَا شَرِيكَ لَهُ، لَهُ الْمُلْكُ وَلَهُ الْحَمْدُ، وَهُوَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ
Laa ilaaha illallaahu wahdahu laa shareeka lah, lahul-mulku wa lahul-hamd, wa huwa 'alaa kulli shay'in qadeer.
There is no god but Allah alone, with no partner. To Him belongs dominion and to Him belongs all praise, and He has power over all things.
Source: Sahih al-Bukhari 1154
