Morning and evening Adhkār

{Allah: none has the right to be worshiped except Him, the Ever-Living, All-Sustaining. Neither drowsiness overtakes Him nor sleep. To Him belongs all that is in the heavens and all that is on earth. Who is there that can intercede with Him except with His permission? He knows what was before them and what will be after them, while they encompass nothing of His knowledge, except what He wills. His Kursī [i.e., footstool] extends over the heavens and earth, and safeguarding of both does not weary Him, for He is the Most High, the Most Great.} [101]

{Say, “I seek refuge with the Lord of mankind,

Adhkār of sleep

One should join his palms closely, blow breath in them, and recite in them:

{Say: “He is Allah, the One;

Allah, the Eternal Refuge.

He neither begets nor is He begotten,

and there is none comparable to Him.”}

{Say, “I seek refuge with the Lord of the daybreak,

from the harm of all what He has created;

from the harm of darkening [night] when it spreads around,

from the harm of the sorceresses who blow on knots,

and from the harm of the envier when he envies."}

{Say, “I seek refuge with the Lord of mankind,

the Sovereign of mankind,

the God of mankind,

from the harm of the lurking whisperer,

who whispers into the hearts of mankind,

from among jinn and mankind.”

Then one should wipe by them whatever he could reach of his body, starting with his head, face, and front parts of his body. (This is to be done three times) [135].

[1] Narrated by Al-Bukhāri with Al-Fat'h, 9/62, no. 5017, and Muslim, no. 2192.

{Allah: none has the right to be worshiped except Him, the Ever-Living, All-Sustaining. Neither drowsiness overtakes Him nor sleep. To Him belongs all that is in the heavens and all that is on earth. Who is there that can intercede with Him except with His permission? He knows what was before them and what will be after them, while they encompass nothing of His knowledge, except what He wills. His Kursī [i.e., footstool] extends over the heavens and earth, and safeguarding of both does not weary Him, for He is the Most High, the Most Great.} [136]

[2] Surat al-Baqarah: 255. Whoever recites it when he goes to bed, a guard will be appointed by Allah to protect him, and no devil will approach him till the morning. Narrated by Al-Bukhāri with Al-Fat'h, 4/487, no. 2311.

All of them believe in Allah, His angels, His Books, and His messengers, [saying], “We make no distinction between any of His messengers.” And they say, “We hear and obey. Grant us Your forgiveness, our Lord, and to You is the [final] destination.”

Allah does not burden any soul greater than it can bear. For it is what it has earned, and against it is what it has incurred. “Our Lord, do not hold us accountable if we forget or fall into error. Our Lord, do not place on us such a burden as You have placed on those before us. Our Lord, do not burden us with that which we cannot bear. Pardon us, forgive us, and have mercy on us. You are our Protector, so give us victory over the disbelieving people.”} [3]

O Allah, Lord of the seven heavens and Lord of the earth, and Lord of the Mighty Throne, our Lord and Lord of all things, Splitter of the seed and the date stone, Revealer of the Torah, the Gospel, and the Furqān (Qur’an), I seek refuge with You from the evil of all things that You seize by the forelock (i.e., You have full control over them). O Allah, You are the First and there is nothing before You; You are the Last and there is nothing after You; You are the Manifest and there is nothing above You; You are the Hidden and there is nothing beyond You. Settle our debt and spare us against poverty. [11]

[11] Narrated by Muslim, 4/2084, no. 2713.

There is no refuge and no place of safety from You but with You. I believe in the Book You have revealed and in Your Prophet whom You have sent. [16]

[15] "When you go to bed, perform ablution like that for the prayer, then lie on your right side and say: …" the Hadīth.

Adhkār for waking up from sleep

Praise be to Allah Who gave us life after He caused us to die and to Him is the resurrection. [1]

[1] Narrated by Al-Bukhāri with Al-Fat'h, 11/113, no. 6314, and Muslim, 4/2083, no. 2711.

There is no god but Allah, alone, without any partner. To Him belongs the dominion, and to Him belongs all praise, and He is Competent over all things. Glory be to Allah, and all praise is due to Allah, and there is no god but Allah, and Allah is the Greatest, and there is no power and no strength except through Allah, the Most High, the Most Great. My Lord, forgive me. [2]

[2] Whoever says that, his sins will be forgiven; if he supplicates, his supplication will be answered; if he rises, performs ablution, and then prays, his prayer will be accepted. Narrated by Al-Bukhāri with Al-Fat'h, 3/39, no. 1154, and others, and this is the wording of Ibn Mājah. See: "Sahīh Ibn Mājah", 2/335.

"Praise be to Allah Who granted me wellness in my body, restored my soul to me, and permitted me to remember Him." [3]

[3] Narrated by At-Tirmidhi, 5/473, no. 3401. See: "Sahīh At-Tirmidhi", 3/144.

{Indeed, in the creation of the heavens and earth and the alternation of the night and day are signs for people of understanding,

those who remember Allah while standing, sitting, and lying on their sides, and reflect upon the creation of the heavens and earth [saying], "Our Lord, you have not created all this in vain. Glory be to You. Protect us from the punishment of the Fire.

Our Lord, whoever You cause to enter the Fire, You have surely disgraced him, and the wrongdoers will have no helpers.

Our Lord, we have heard the caller to faith calling, ‘Believe in your Lord,’ so we believed. Our Lord, forgive us our sins, expiate our misdeeds, and cause us to die among the righteous.

"Our Lord, give us what You have promised us through Your messengers, and do not disgrace us on the Day of Resurrection, for You never break Your promise."

Their Lord responded to them: "I will never waste the deeds of any doer among you, male or female; you are the same in reward. Those who migrated and were driven out of their homes and suffered for My sake, and fought and were killed—I will surely expiate their sins and admit them into gardens under which rivers flow, a reward from Allah; with Allah is the best reward."

Do not be deceived by the disbelievers’ prosperity in the land:

it is a brief enjoyment, then Hell will be their abode. What a terrible resting place!

But for those who fear their Lord will be gardens under which rivers flow, abiding therein forever—a welcoming gift from Allah; and what is with Allah is best for the righteous.

There are some among the People of the Book who believe in Allah and what has been sent down to you and what was sent down to them; humbling themselves before Allah. They do not sell Allah’s verses for a small price. It is they who will have their reward with their Lord. Indeed, Allah is swift in reckoning.

O you who believe, be patient and endure, stand on guard and fear Allah, so that you may be successful.} [4]

To Him belongs the dominion, to Him belongs all praise, and He has power over all things. There is no god but Allah, alone. He fulfilled His promise, gave victory to His servant, and defeated the Confederates alone.’ He then supplicated during that, saying such words three times...” The Hadīth goes on: “He did on Marwah as he did on Safa” ([9]).

Making Takbīr upon throwing the Jamrahs with every pebble

O Allah, guide me among those whom You have guided, grant me wellbeing among those whom You have granted wellbeing, protect me among those whom You have protected, bless for me what You have given me, and save me from the evil of what You have decreed. Verily, You decree and none can decree against You. Indeed, the one You have supported is not humiliated, [and the one You have taken as an enemy is not honored]. Blessed are You, O Lord, and Exalted. [158]

Complete Recitation of the Qur’an

It is prescribed to supplicate upon completing the recitation of the Qur’an, as it is reported that Anas ibn Mālik (may Allah be pleased with him) would gather his family upon completing the recitation of the Qur'an and supplicate. Thābit al-Bunāni reported:

“Whenever Anas completed the recitation of the Qur’an, he would gather his children and household and supplicate for them.” [4]

[4] Narrated by Ad-Dārimi: Book of the Virtues of the Qur’an (3339).

Qatādah reported: “A man was reciting (the Qur’an) in the Mosque of Madīnah, and Ibn ‘Abbās (may Allah be pleased with him) was invigilating him. When it was the day he completed the recitation of the entire Qur’an, he stood and turned towards him.” [5].

[5] Narrated by Ad-Dārimi: Book of the Virtues of the Qur’an (3337).

However, one should supplicate with comprehensive words and not prolong the supplication, causing hardship for the worshippers, for the Prophet (ﷺ)

“liked comprehensive supplications.” [6]

[6] Narrated by Imām Ahmad: Book of the Remainder of the Musnad al-Ansār (23996).

It is recommended to avoid rhymed supplications, as Ibn ‘Abbās (may Allah be pleased with him and his father) reported:

“Beware of rhymed supplications and avoid them, for I have found the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) and his Companions always did nothing but that.” [7]

[7] Narrated by Al-Bukhāri, Book of Invocations, Chapter on Disapproval of Rhymed Supplication (5862).

Recommended acts of fasting:

It is recommended for the fasting person to observe the following matters in their fasting:

1. Suhūr (pre-dawn meal): The Prophet (ﷺ) said:

“Have Suhūr, for indeed there is a blessing in Suhūr.” [1]

[1] Narrated by Al-Bukhāri (1923), and Muslim (1095).

Having Suhūr is fulfilled with a large or small amount of food, even with a sip of water. The time for Suhūr extends from midnight until the break of dawn. 2. Delaying Suhūr: Zayd ibn Thābit (may Allah be pleased with him) said:

“We had Suhūr with the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ), and then we got up to pray.” I (the sub-narrator) asked: “What was the duration between the two acts?” He said: “The time it takes to recite fifty verses.” [2]

[2] Narrated by Al-Bukhāri, no. (575), and Muslim, no. (1097); this is the wording of Muslim.

3. Hastening to break the fast: It is recommended for the fasting person to hasten to break the fast once sunset is certain. Sahl ibn Sa‘d (may Allah be pleased with him) reported that the Prophet (ﷺ) said:

“People will continue to be good as long as they hasten to break the fast.” [3]

[3] Narrated by Al-Bukhāri no. (1957), and Muslim no. (1098).

4. Breaking the fast with fresh dates: if not available, then with dried dates, and they should be in odd numbers; if not available, then with a few sips of water, based on the Hadīth of Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) who said:

“The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) used to break his fast with fresh dates before praying; if not with fresh dates, then with dried dates; and if not with dried dates, then he would take a few sips of water.” [4]

[4] Narrated by Abu Dāwūd, no. (2356), and At-Tirmidhi, no. (696) who classified it as Hasan (sound) and also narrated and classified as Hasan (sound) by Al-Baghawi in "Sharh As-Sunnah" (6/266). It was classified as Sahīh (authentic) by Al-Albāni in "Sahīh At-Tirmidhi", no. (560). Its chain of narration was deemed Qawiyy (strong) by Al-Arnā’ūt in the commentary on "Sharh As-Sunnah".

If he finds nothing, he intends to break the fast in his heart, and that suffices. 5. Supplicating at the time of breaking the fast, and during fasting: due to the saying of the Prophet (ﷺ):

“There are three whose supplication is not rejected: the fasting person until he breaks his fast, the just ruler, and the one who has been wronged.” [5]

[5] Narrated by At-Tirmidhi, no. (2526) and he classified it as Hasan (sound). It was also narrated by Al-Bayhaqi (3/345) and others on the authority of Anas in a Marfū‘ form with the wording: “Three supplications are not rejected: the supplication of a parent, the supplication of a fasting person, and the supplication of a traveler.” Al-Albāni classified it as Sahīh (authentic) in As Sahīhah (1797).

6. Giving charity, reciting the Qur’an, providing Iftār to those who fast, and all acts of righteousness frequently: Ibn ‘Abbās (may Allah be pleased with them) reported:

“The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) was the most generous of people in doing good, and he used to be most generous in Ramadan when Jibrīl (Gabriel) would meet him. Jibrīl would meet him every night during Ramadan to study the Qur’an with him. Indeed, the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) was more generous than the fast wind when Jibrīl met him.” [6]

[6] Narrated by Al-Bukhāri, no. (6), and Muslim, no. (2308).

7. Diligence in offering the voluntary night prayer, especially during the last ten nights of Ramadan; ‘Ā’ishah (may Allah be pleased with her) reported:

“With the start of the last ten days, the Prophet (ﷺ) would tie up his lower garment firmly, pray all night, and wake up his family.” [7]

[7] Narrated by Al-Bukhāri, no. (2024), and Muslim, no. (1174), and based on the general indication of the saying of the Prophet (ﷺ): “Whoever performs voluntary night prayer during Ramadan out of faith and in pursuit of Allah’s reward, his past sins will be forgiven.” Narrated by Muslim, no. (759).

8. Performing ‘Umrah: The Prophet (ﷺ) said:

“‘Umrah in Ramadan is equivalent to Hajj.” [8]

[8] Narrated by Al-Bukhāri, no. (1782), and Muslim, no. (1256).

9. Saying: “I am fasting” to someone who insults him, as per the saying of the Prophet (ﷺ):

“When it is the day when anyone of you is fasting, let him not engage in obscenity or raise his voice, and if anyone insults him or fights with him, let him say: ‘I am a fasting person.’” [9] [10]

[9] Narrated by Al-Bukhāri, no. (1904), and Muslim, no. (1151); this is the wording of Al-Bukhāri.

[10] Al-Fiqh Al-Muyassar (p. 89).

Sunnah acts of the two Eid prayers

1. It is Sunnah that the Eid prayer be performed in a prominent and spacious area outside the town, where Muslims gather to manifest this ritual. However, if it is performed in the mosque due to an excuse, there is no harm in that.

2. It is Sunnah to perform the Eid al-Adha prayer early and to delay the Eid al-Fitr prayer, following the practice of the Prophet (ﷺ). This is because people need to hasten the Eid al-Adha prayer to have time for slaughtering the ’Udhiyah, while they require an extended time for the Eid al-Fitr prayer to allow for the giving of Zakat al-Fitr.

3. It is Sunnah to eat a few dates before going out to the prayer of Eid al-Fitr, and not to eat on the day of Eid al-Ad-ha until after the prayer, following the practice of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ), who would not go out on the day of Eid al-Fitr until he had eaten an odd number of dates. [1]

[1] Narrated by Al-Bukhāri, no. (953).

He should not eat on the Day of Nahr except after offering the Eid prayer. [2]

[2] Narrated by At-Tirmidhi, no. (542), and Ibn Mājah, no. (1756); and classified as Sahīh (authentic) by Al-Albāni. See: "Sahīh Ibn Mājah", no. 1422.

4. It is Sunnah to go to Eid prayer early, after the Fajr prayer, walking; to be able to sit near to the Imam and attain the virtue of waiting for the prayer.

5. It is recommended for the Muslim to adorn himself, take a bath, wear the best clothes, and apply perfume.

It is Sunnah to deliver a comprehensive sermon during the Eid prayer that encompasses all aspects of the religion. The sermon should encourage the giving of Zakat al-Fitr, clarify what should be given, and promote the practice of sacrifice, explaining its rulings. Women should also have a share in this sermon, as they are in need of it, following the example of the Prophet (ﷺ) who went to the women after completing the prayer and sermon to admonish and remind them. [3] This should be done after the prayer, as per the saying of Ibn ‘Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both):

[3] Narrated by Al-Bukhāri, no. (978).

“The Prophet (ﷺ), Abu Bakr, and ‘Umar used to offer the two Eid prayers before delivering the sermon.” [4]

[4] Narrated by Al-Bukhāri, no. (963), and Muslim, no. (888).

7. It is Sunnah to frequently remember Allah Almighty by saying Takbīr (Allāhu Akbar) and Tahlīl (la ilāha illa Allāh), as Allah Almighty says:

{so that you may complete the prescribed number of days, and proclaim the greatness of Allah for having guided you, and so that you may be grateful.}

[Surat al-Baqarah: 185]

Men should say it audibly in homes, mosques, and markets, whereas women should say it inaudibly.

8. Taking different routes, going to the Eid prayer by one route and returning by another, as reported in the Hadith of Jābir (may Allah be pleased with him):

“The Prophet (ﷺ) would, on the Day of Eid, take one route and return by another.” [5]

[5] Narrated by Al-Bukhāri, no. (986).

It was said that the wisdom behind this is for both routes to testify for him. It was also said that the wisdom is to display the ritual of Islam in both routes. Other reasons were mentioned as well.

It is permissible for people to exchange greetings with one another on the day of Eid by saying to each other: “May Allah accept from us and from you the righteous deeds.” This was practiced by the companions of the Prophet (ﷺ) while showing cheerfulness and joy to those they met. [6]
