Dua After Prayer (Namaz)

بِسْمِ ٱللَّٰهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ

أَسْتَغْفِرُ اللَّهَ، أَسْتَغْفِرُ اللَّهَ، أَسْتَغْفِرُ اللَّهَ

Astaghfirullah, Astaghfirullah, Astaghfirullah

I seek the forgiveness of Allah (3 times immediately after Salam). (Sahih Muslim 591)

اللَّهُمَّ أَنْتَ السَّلَامُ وَمِنْكَ السَّلَامُ تَبَارَكْتَ يَا ذَا الْجَلَالِ وَالإِكْرَامِ

Allahumma Antas-Salamu wa minkas-salam, tabarakta ya Dhal-Jalali wal-Ikram

O Allah, You are Peace and from You is peace. Blessed are You, O Possessor of majesty and honor. (Sahih Muslim 591)

لَا إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَحْدَهُ لَا شَرِيكَ لَهُ، لَهُ الْمُلْكُ وَلَهُ الْحَمْدُ وَهُوَ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ، اللَّهُمَّ لَا مَانِعَ لِمَا أَعْطَيْتَ وَلَا مُعْطِيَ لِمَا مَنَعْتَ وَلَا يَنْفَعُ ذَا الْجَدِّ مِنْكَ الْجَدُّ

La ilaha illallahu wahdahu la sharika lah, lahul-mulku wa lahul-hamdu wa huwa 'ala kulli shay'in qadeer. Allahumma la mani'a lima a'tayta wa la mu'tiya lima mana'ta wa la yanfa'u dhal-jaddi minkal-jadd

There is no god but Allah alone, without partner. His is the sovereignty and His is all praise, and He has power over all things. O Allah, none can prevent what You give, and none can give what You prevent, and the wealth of the wealthy cannot avail them against You. (Sahih al-Bukhari 844 & Sahih Muslim 593)

سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ (٣٣) • الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ (٣٣) • اللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ (٣٤)

SubhanAllah (33x), Alhamdulillah (33x), Allahu Akbar (34x)

Glory be to Allah (33 times), Praise be to Allah (33 times), Allah is the Greatest (34 times). (Tasbih Fatimah after prayer – Sahih Muslim 597)

Ayat al-Kursi (Verse of the Throne)

اللَّهُ لَا إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَ الْحَيُّ الْقَيُّومُ ۚ لَا تَأْخُذُهُ سِنَةٌ وَلَا نَوْمٌ ۚ لَّهُ مَا فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ وَمَا فِي الْأَرْضِ ۗ مَن ذَا الَّذِي يَشْفَعُ عِندَهُ إِلَّا بِإِذْنِهِ ۚ يَعْلَمُ مَا بَيْنَ أَيْدِيهِمْ وَمَا خَلْفَهُمْ ۖ وَلَا يُحِيطُونَ بِشَيْءٍ مِّنْ عِلْمِهِ إِلَّا بِمَا شَاءَ ۚ وَسِعَ كُرْسِيُّهُ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضَ ۖ وَلَا يَئُودُهُ حِفْظُهُمَا ۚ وَهُوَ الْعَلِيُّ الْعَظِيمُ

Allah - there is no deity except Him, the Ever-Living, the Sustainer of [all] existence. Neither drowsiness overtakes Him nor sleep. To Him belongs whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on the earth. Who is it that can intercede with Him except by His permission? He knows what is [presently] before them and what will be after them, and they encompass not a thing of His knowledge except for what He wills. His Kursi extends over the heavens and the earth, and their preservation tires Him not. And He is the Most High, the Most Great.
