.:: Invocations for the beginning prayer ::.
- دعا و استفتاح نماز
Abdullah ibn Mas'ud (radiAllahu anhu) said 'a man should recite tashahhud, then send prayers and supplications upon the Prophet (salAllahu alayhi wasalam), and then pray for himself. رَبِّ اجْعَلْنِي مُقِيمَ الصَّلاَةِ وَمِن ذُرِّيَّتِي رَبَّنَا وَتَقَبَّلْ دُعَاء
رَبَّنَا اغْفِرْ لِي وَلِوَالِدَيَّ وَلِلْمُؤْمِنِينَ يَوْمَ يَقُومُ الْحِسَابُ Rabbij'alni muqimas-salati wamin dhur-riyyati. Rabbana wa taqabbal du'a. Rabban aghfirli wali-walidayya wal-lil-mu'minina yauma yaqumul hisab. O Lord! Make me and my children steadfast in prayer. Our Lord! Accept the prayer. Our Lord! Forgive me and my parents and the believers on the day of judgement. اَللَّهُـمَّ إِنيِّ أَعوُذُ بِكَ مِنْ عَذاَبِ جَهَنَّمَ،وَمِنْ عَذاَبِ الْقَبْرِ وَمِنْ فِتْـنَةِ الْمَحْياَ وَالْمَماَتِ وَمِنْ فِتْـنَةِ الْمَسيِحِ الدَّجاَّلِ Allahumma inni a'udhu bika min 'adhabi jahannam, wa min 'adhabil-qabr, wa min fitnatil-mahya wal-mamat, wa min fitnatil-masihid-Dajjal. O Allah! I seek Your protection from the torture of hell, and I seek Your protection from the torture of the grave, and I seek refuge with You from the mischief of life and death, and I seek Your protection from the mischief of Dajjal pretending as Messiah. اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ عَذَابِ الْقَبْرِ،
وَأَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ فِتْنَةِ الْمَسِيحِ الدَّجَّالِ، وَأَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ
فِتْنَةِ الْمَحْيَا وَالْمَمَاتِ. اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ
الْمَأْثَمِ وَالْمَغْرَمِ Allahumma inni 'a'udhu bika min 'adhabil-qabri, wa 'a'udhu bika min fitnatil masihid-dajjali, wa 'a'udhu bika min fitnatil mahya wal mamati. Allahumma 'inni 'a'udhu bika minal ma'thami wal maghrami. O Allah! I seek refuge in You from the punishment of the grave, and I seek refuge in You from the trial of the False Messiah, and I seek refuge in You from the trials of life and death. O Allah! I seek refuge in You from sin and from debt.
[ibn abi Shaibah 3026, Hakim 990, al-Bayhaqi 2879]
There are many supplications the Prophet (salAllahu alayhi wasalam) used to say at the end of the prayer (after the final Tashahhud and before ending the prayer). Here are some of the recorded supplications.
[Surah Ibrahim, 14: 40-41]
[Sahih al-Bukhari 2:102, Muslim 1:412, 588]
[Sahih al-Bukhari 1:202, Muslim 1:412]
اللّهُـمَّ إِنِّـي ظَلَـمْتُ نَفْسـي ظُلْمـاً كَثـيراً وَلا يَغْـفِرُ الذُّنـوبَ إِلاّ أَنْت ، فَاغْـفِر لي مَغْـفِرَةً مِنْ عِنْـدِك وَارْحَمْـني، إِنَّكَ أَنْتَ الغَـفورُ الرَّحـيم
Allahumma inni Dhalamtu nafsi Dhulman kathiran, wa la yaghfirudh-dhunuba illa Anta, faghfir li maghfiratan min 'indika, warhamni, innaka Antal Ghafur-ur Rahim.
O Allah! I have considerably wronged myself. There is none to forgive the sins but You. So grant me pardon and have mercy on me. You are the Most Forgiving, the Most Compassionate.
[Sahih al-Bukhari 8:168, Muslim 4:2078]
اللَّهُمَّ اغْفِرْ لِي مَا قَدَّمْتُ، وَمَا أَخَّرْتُ، وَمَا أَسْرَرْتُ، وَمَا أَعْلَنْتُ، وَمَا أَسْرَفْتُ، وَمَا أَنْتَ أَعْلَمُ بِهِ مِنِّي. أَنْتَ الْمُقَدِّمُ، وَأَنْتَ الْمُؤَخِّرُ لَا إِلَعَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ
Allahum-maghfir li ma qaddamtu, wa ma 'akhkhartu, wa ma 'asrartu, wa ma 'a'lantu, wa ma 'asraftu, wa ma 'Anta 'a'lamu bihi minni. 'Antal-Muqaddimu, wa 'Antal-Mu'akhkhiru la ilaha illa 'Ant
O Allah! Forgive me what I have sent before me and what I have left behind me, what I have concealed and what I have done openly, what I have done in excess , and what You are better aware of than I. You are the One Who sends forth and You are the One Who delays. There is none worthy of worship but You.
[Muslim 1:534]
اللَّهُمَّ أَعِنَّي عَلَى ذِكْرِكَ، وَشُكْرِكَ، وَحُسْنِ عِبَادَتِكَ
Allahumma 'a'inni 'ala Dhikrika, wa shukrika, wa husni 'ibaadatika.
O Allah! Help me to remember You, to thank You, and to worship You in the best of manners.
[abu Dawud 2:86, an-Nasa'i 3:53]
اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنَ الْبُخْلِ، وَأَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنَ الْجُبْنِ، وَأَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ أَنْ أُرَدَّ إِلَى أَرْذَلِ الْعُمُرِ، وَأَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ فِتْنَةِ الدُّنْيَا وَعَذَابِ الْقَبْرِ
Allahumma inni a'udhu bika minal-bukhli, wa a'udhu bika minal jubni, wa a'udhu bika min 'an uradda 'ila 'ardhalil-'umuri, wa a'udhu bika min fitnatid-dunya wa 'adhaabil-qabri.
O Allah! I seek Your protection from miserliness, I seek Your protection from cowardice, and I seek Your protection from being returned to feeble old age. I seek Your protection from the trials of this world and from the torment of the grave.
[Sahih al-Bukhari, from al-Asqalani's Fath al-Bari 6:35]
اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ الْجَنَّةَ وَأَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنَ النَّارِ
Allahumma inni 'as'alukal-jannahta wa a'udhu bika minan-naar.
O Allah! I ask You for Paradise and seek Your protection from the Fire.
[abu Dawud]
اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ عَذَابِ الْقَبْرِ، وَأَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ فِتْنَةِ الْمَسِيحِ الدَّجَّالِ، وَأَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ فِتْنَةِ الْمَحْيَا وَالْمَمَاتِ. اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ الْمَأْثَمِ وَالْمَغْرَمِ
Allahumma inni 'a'udhu bika min 'adhabil-qabri, wa 'a'udhu bika min fitnatil masihid-dajjali, wa 'a'udhu bika min fitnatil mahya wal mamati. Allahumma 'inni 'a'udhu bika minal ma'thami wal maghrami.
O Allah! I seek refuge in You from the punishment of the grave, and I seek refuge in You from the trial of the False Messiah, and I seek refuge in You from the trials of life and death. O Allah! I seek refuge in You from sin and from debt.
[Sahih al-Bukhari 1:202, Muslim 1:412]
اللَّهُمَّ بِعِلْمِكَ الْغَيْبَ وَقُدْرَتِكَ عَلَى الْخَلْقِ أَحْيِنِي مَا عَلِمْتَ الْحَيَاةَ خَيْراً لِي وَتَوَفَّنِي إِذَا عَلِمْتَ الْوَفَاةَ خَيْراً لِي، اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ خَشْيَتَكَ فِي الْغَيْبِ وَالشَّهَادَةِ، وَأَسْأَلُكَ كَلِمَةَ الْحَقِّ فِي الرِّضَا وَالْغَضَبِ، وَأَسْأَلُكَ الْقَصْدَ فِي الْغِنَى وَالْفَقْرِ، وَأَسْأَلُكَ نَعِيماً لَا يَنْفَذُ، وَأَسْأَلُكَ قُرَّةَ عَيْنٍ لَا تَنْقَطِعُ، وَأَسْأَلُكَ الرِّضِا بَعْدَ الْقَضَاءِ، وَأَسْأَلُكَ بَرْدَ الْعَيْشِ بَعْدَ الْمَوْتِ، وَأَسْأَلُكَ لَذَّةَ النَّظَرِ إِلَى وَجْهِكَ وَالشَّوْقَ إِلَى لِقَائِكَ فِي غَيْرِ ضَرَّاءَ مُضِرَّةٍ وَلَا فِتْنَةٍ مُضِلَّةٍ، اللَّهُمَّ زَيِّنَّا بِزِينَةِ الْإِيمَانِ وِاجْعَلْنَا هُدَاةً مُهْتَدِينَ
Allahumma bi'ilmikal-ghayba wa qudratika 'alal-khalqi 'ahyini ma 'alimtal-hayaata khayran li wa tawaffani idha 'alimtal-wafata khayran li, Allahumma inni as'aluka khashyataka fil ghaybi wash-shahadati, wa as'aluka kalimatal-haqqi fir-ridha wal ghadhabi, wa as'alukal qasda fil ghina wal faqri, wa as'aluka na'iman la yanfadu, wa as'aluka qurrata 'aynin la tanqati'u, wa as'alukar-ridha ba'dal qadha'i, wa as'aluka bardal 'ayshi ba'dal mawti, wa as'aluka ladh-dhatan-nadhari 'ila wajhika wash-shawqa ila liqa'ika fi ghayri dharra'a mudhirratin wa la fitnatin mudhil-latin. Allahumma zayyinna bizeenatil-imaani waj'alaa hudatan muhtadeen.
O Allah! By Your Knowledge of the unseen and by Your Power over creation, let me live if You know that life is good for me, and let me die if You know that death is good for me. O Allah! I ask You to grant me fear of You in private and in public. I ask you for the word of truth in times of contentment and anger. I ask You for moderation in wealth and in poverty. I ask you for blessings never ceasing and the coolness of my eye (i.e. pleasure) that never ends. I ask You for pleasure after Your Judgment and I ask You for a life of coolness after death. I ask You for the delight of gazing upon Your Face and the joy of meeting You without any harm and misleading trials befalling me. O Allah! Dress us with the beauty of Faith, and make us guides who are upon (correct) guidance.
[an-Nasa'i 3:54, 55, Ahmad 4:364]
اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ يَا اللهُ بِأَنَّكَ الْوَاحِدُ الْأَحَدُ الصَّمَدُ الَّذِي لَمْ يَلِدْ وَلَمْ يُولَدْ وَلَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ كُفُواً أَحَدٌ، أَنْ تَغْفِرَ لِي ذُنُوبِي إِنَّكَ أَنْتَ الْغَفُورُ الرَّحِيمُ
Allahumma inni as'aluka ya Allahu bi'annakal-Wahidul Ahadus-Samadul-ladhi, lam yalid wa lam yulad, wa lam yakun lahu kufuwan Ahad, 'an taghfira li Dhunoobi innaka 'Antal Ghafoorur Raheem.
O Allah! I ask You. O Allah! You are the One, the Only, Self-Sufficient Master, Who was not begotten and begets not and none is equal to Him. Forgive me my sins, surely you are Forgiving, Merciful.
[an-Nasa'i 3:52, Ahmad 4:338]
اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ بِأَنَّ لَكَ الْحَمْدَ لَا إِلهَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ وَحْدَكَ لَا شَرِيكَ لَكَ، الْمَنَّانُ، يَا بَدِيعَ السَّماوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ يَا ذَا الْجَلَالِ وَالْإِكْرَامِ، يَا حَيُّ يَا قَيُّومُ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ الْجَنَّةَ وَأَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنَ النَّارِ
Allahumma inni as'aluka bi'anna lakal-hamda la ilaha illa 'Anta, wahdaka la shareeka laka, Al-Mannaanu, ya Badi'as-Samawaati wal'ardhi ya Dhal-Jalaali wal-'Ikram, ya Hayyu ya Qayyoomu 'inni as'alukal-jannahta wa a'udhu bika minan-naar.
O Allah! I ask You, as You are the Owner of praise, there is none worthy of worship but You alone, You have no partner. You are the Giver of all Good. O Creator of the heavens and the earth! Owner of Majesty and Honor! O Living and Everlasting One! I ask you for Paradise and I seek refuge in You from the fire.
[abu Dawud, an-Nasa'i, ibn Majah, at-Tirmithi]
اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ بِأَنِّي أَشْهَدُ أَنَّكَ أَنْتَ اللهُ لَا إِلهَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ الْأَحَدُ الصَّمَدُ الَّذِي لَمْ يَلِدْ وَلَمْ يُولَدْ وَلَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ كُفُواً أَحَدٌ
Allahumma inni as'aluka bi'anni 'ash-hadu annaka 'Antallahu la ilaha illa 'Antal-Ahadus-Samadul-ladhi lam yalid wa lam yulad wa lam yakun lahu kufuwan Ahad.
O Allah! I ask You, by the fact that I bear witness that You are Allah. There is none worthy of worship but You, the Only God, Independent of creation, Who was not begotten and begets not, and none is equal to Him.
[abu Dawud 2:62, ibn Majah 2:1267, at-Tirmithi 5:515, Ahmad 5/360]
