The Book Of Prayer (Kitaab-ul-Salaat)

SOME SUNNAH SUPPLICATIONS
The Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) has said: “ Supplication is the core of
worship.” The author’ s book named “ Masnoon Dua-en” (Sunnah Supplications) is a
collection of 180 such supplications plus other remembrances (azkaar) and has been published
several times. Below listed are a few such supplications – for more, please refer to the abovenamed
collection.
The Morning and Evening Supplication
Bismillah-illazee laa yadurru ma-Ismehee shay-un fil-arde wa laa fi-ssamaae wa huwa-sSameeyulAleem
With Allah’ s name (I witness the morning / evening) – with Whose name nothing in the earth
nor in the sky can cause any harm – and He only is the All-Hearing, the All-Knowing.
When entering one’ s home
Allaahumma innee as-aluka khair-alMawlije wa khair-alMakhrije - Bismillahe wa lajjenaa wa
alallahe rabbenaa tawakkalnaa
“ O Allah! I seek goodness from you for entering into and exiting from the house; we enter with
the name of Allah, and have relied only upon Allah the Supreme, our Lord.”
When stepping out of one's home:
Bismillaahe tawakkaltu alallaahe wa laa hawla wa laa quwwata illaa billaah.
“ With Allah’ s name (I go forth), I put my trust in Allah, and the power to resist evil and the
strength to do good is only from Allah, the Supreme, the Greatest.”
When entering a mosque:
Bismillaahe was-salaatu was-Salaamu alaa Rasoolillaah – rabbigfirlee zunoobee waftah lee
abwaaba rahmateka
“ With Allah’ s name (I enter the mosque) and blessings and peace be upon the Messenger of
Allah. O Allah! Open for me the gates of Your mercy.”
