Evening Adhkar

اللّٰهُ لَا إِلٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَ الْحَيُّ الْقَيُّومُ ۚ لَا تَأْخُذُهُ سِنَةٌ وَلَا نَوْمٌ ۚ لَهُ مَا فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ وَمَا فِي الْأَرْضِ ۗ مَنْ ذَا الَّذِي يَشْفَعُ عِنْدَهُ إِلَّا بِإِذْنِهِ ۚ يَعْلَمُ مَا بَيْنَ أَيْدِيهِمْ وَمَا خَلْفَهُمْ ۖ وَلَا يُحِيطُونَ بِشَيْءٍ مِنْ عِلْمِهِ إِلَّا بِمَا شَاءَ ۚ وَسِعَ كُرْسِيُّهُ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضَ ۖ وَلَا يَئُودُهُ حِفْظُهُمَا ۚ وَهُوَ الْعَلِيُّ الْعَظِيمُ

Allahu la ilaha illa huwal-hayyul-qayyum, la ta'khudhuhu sinatun wa la nawm, lahu ma fis-samawati wa ma fil-ard, man dhal-ladhi yashfa'u 'indahu illa bi-idhnih, ya'lamu ma bayna aydihim wa ma khalfahum, wa la yuhituna bishay'in min 'ilmihi illa bima sha', wasi'a kursiyyuhus-samawati wal-ard, wa la ya'uduhu hifzuhuma, wa huwal-'aliyyul-adhim

Allah — there is no deity worthy of worship except Him, the Ever-Living, the Sustainer of existence. Neither drowsiness nor sleep overtakes Him. 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 before them and what is 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. (Ayatul Kursi — Quran 2:255)

Quran 2:255 · Sahih — Silsilah al-Sahihah 972 · Al-Hakim · Whoever recites it in the evening is in Allah's protection until morning

قُلْ هُوَ اللّٰهُ أَحَدٌ ۝ اللّٰهُ الصَّمَدُ ۝ لَمْ يَلِدْ وَلَمْ يُولَدْ ۝ وَلَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ كُفُوًا أَحَدٌ

Surah Al-Ikhlas + Al-Falaq + An-Nas — recite each 3 times (×3)

(Al-Ikhlas): Say: He is Allah, the One. Allah, the Eternal Refuge. He neither begets nor is born. Nor is there to Him any equivalent. — Then recite Al-Falaq and An-Nas, 3 times each.

Hisnul Muslim 94 — Abu Dawud 5082, Nasai 5428 · Sahih — authenticated by Al-Albani · The Prophet ﷺ said: they suffice you against everything

أَمْسَيْنَا وَأَمْسَى الْمُلْكُ لِلّٰهِ، وَالْحَمْدُ لِلّٰهِ، لَا إِلٰهَ إِلَّا اللّٰهُ وَحْدَهُ لَا شَرِيكَ لَهُ، لَهُ الْمُلْكُ وَلَهُ الْحَمْدُ وَهُوَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ، رَبِّ أَسْأَلُكَ خَيْرَ مَا فِي هَذِهِ اللَّيْلَةِ وَخَيْرَ مَا بَعْدَهَا، وَأَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ شَرِّ مَا فِي هَذِهِ اللَّيْلَةِ وَشَرِّ مَا بَعْدَهَا، رَبِّ أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنَ الْكَسَلِ وَسُوءِ الْكِبَرِ، رَبِّ أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ عَذَابٍ فِي النَّارِ وَعَذَابٍ فِي الْقَبْرِ

Amsayna wa amsal-mulku lillah, walhamdu lillah, la ilaha illallahu wahdahu la sharika lah, lahul-mulku wa lahul-hamdu wa huwa ala kulli shay'in qadir. Rabbi as'aluka khayra ma fi hadhihil-laylati wa khayra ma ba'daha, wa a'udhu bika min sharri ma fi hadhihil-laylati wa sharri ma ba'daha. Rabbi a'udhu bika minal-kasali wa su'il-kibar. Rabbi a'udhu bika min adhabin fin-nari wa adhabin fil-qabr

We have reached the evening and the dominion belongs to Allah; all praise is for Allah. None has the right to be worshipped except Allah, alone, without partner. His is the dominion and His is the praise and He is over all things capable. O Lord, I ask You for the good of this night and the good of what follows it, and I seek refuge in You from the evil of this night and the evil of what follows it. O Lord, I seek refuge in You from laziness and the misery of old age. O Lord, I seek refuge in You from punishment in the Fire and punishment in the grave.

Hisnul Muslim 75 · Sahih — Abu Dawud 5076

اللّٰهُمَّ مَا أَمْسَى بِي مِنْ نِعْمَةٍ أَوْ بِأَحَدٍ مِنْ خَلْقِكَ، فَمِنْكَ وَحْدَكَ لَا شَرِيكَ لَكَ، فَلَكَ الْحَمْدُ وَلَكَ الشُّكْرُ

Allahumma ma amsa bi min ni'matin, aw bi ahadin min khalqik, faminka wahdaka la sharika lak, falakal-hamdu wa lakashshukr

O Allah, whatever blessing I or any of Your creation have reached this evening is from You alone, without partner. To You belongs all praise and all thanks.

Hisnul Muslim 79 — Abu Dawud 5073 · Hasan — authenticated by Al-Albani · Whoever says this has fulfilled the gratitude due for that evening's blessings

اللّٰهُمَّ بِكَ أَمْسَيْنَا، وَبِكَ أَصْبَحْنَا، وَبِكَ نَحْيَا، وَبِكَ نَمُوتُ وَإِلَيْكَ الْمَصِيرُ

Allahumma bika amsayna, wa bika asbahna, wa bika nahya, wa bika namutu wa ilaykal-masir

O Allah, by You we enter the evening and by You we enter the morning, by You we live and by You we die, and unto You is the final return.

Hisnul Muslim 76 · Hasan — Tirmidhi 3391

اللّٰهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ الْعَفْوَ وَالْعَافِيَةَ فِي الدُّنْيَا وَالآخِرَةِ، اللّٰهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ الْعَفْوَ وَالْعَافِيَةَ فِي دِينِي وَدُنْيَايَ وَأَهْلِي وَمَالِي، اللّٰهُمَّ اسْتُرْ عَوْرَاتِي وَآمِنْ رَوْعَاتِي، اللّٰهُمَّ احْفَظْنِي مِنْ بَيْنِ يَدَيَّ وَمِنْ خَلْفِي وَعَنْ يَمِينِي وَعَنْ شِمَالِي وَمِنْ فَوْقِي، وَأَعُوذُ بِعَظَمَتِكَ أَنْ أُغْتَالَ مِنْ تَحْتِي

Allahumma inni as'alukal-'afwa wal-'afiyata fid-dunya wal-akhirah. Allahumma inni as'alukal-'afwa wal-'afiyata fi dini wa dunyaya wa ahli wa mali. Allahummastur 'awrati wa amin raw'ati. Allahumma-hfazni min bayni yadayya wa min khalfi wa 'an yamini wa 'an shimali wa min fawqi, wa a'udhu bi'azamatika an ughtala min tahti

O Allah, I ask You for pardon and well-being in this world and the Hereafter. O Allah, I ask You for pardon and well-being in my religion, my worldly life, my family and my wealth. O Allah, conceal my faults and calm my fears. O Allah, guard me from before me and behind me, from my right and my left, and from above me. I seek refuge in Your greatness from being struck from below.

Hisnul Muslim 83 — Abu Dawud 5074, Ibn Majah 3871 · Sahih — authenticated by Al-Albani · Ibn Umar ؓ never left this dua morning or evening

اللّٰهُمَّ أَنْتَ رَبِّي لَا إِلٰهَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ، خَلَقْتَنِي وَأَنَا عَبْدُكَ، وَأَنَا عَلَى عَهْدِكَ وَوَعْدِكَ مَا اسْتَطَعْتُ، أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ شَرِّ مَا صَنَعْتُ، أَبُوءُ لَكَ بِنِعْمَتِكَ عَلَيَّ، وَأَبُوءُ لَكَ بِذَنْبِي فَاغْفِرْ لِي، فَإِنَّهُ لَا يَغْفِرُ الذُّنُوبَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ

Allahumma anta rabbi la ilaha illa ant, khalaqtani wa ana abduk, wa ana ala ahdika wa wa'dika mastata't, a'udhu bika min sharri ma sana't, abu'u laka bini'matika alayya, wa abu'u laka bidhanbi faghfir li, fa innahu la yaghfirudh-dhunuba illa ant

O Allah, You are my Lord. None has the right to be worshipped except You. You created me and I am Your servant, and I abide by Your covenant and promise as best I can. I seek refuge in You from the evil of what I have done. I acknowledge Your favour upon me and I acknowledge my sin, so forgive me — for verily none can forgive sins except You.

Hisnul Muslim 77 — Sayyidul Istighfar · Sahih — Bukhari 6306 · Whoever says this with certainty in the evening and dies that night enters Jannah

اللّٰهُمَّ عَافِنِي فِي بَدَنِي، اللّٰهُمَّ عَافِنِي فِي سَمْعِي، اللّٰهُمَّ عَافِنِي فِي بَصَرِي

Allahumma afini fi badani, Allahumma afini fi sam'i, Allahumma afini fi basari

O Allah, grant me health in my body. O Allah, grant me health in my hearing. O Allah, grant me health in my sight.

Hisnul Muslim 80 · Hasan — Abu Dawud 5090

اللّٰهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنَ الْكُفْرِ، وَالْفَقْرِ، وَأَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ عَذَابِ الْقَبْرِ

Allahumma inni a'udhu bika minal-kufri, wal-faqri, wa a'udhu bika min adhabil-qabr

O Allah, I seek Your refuge from disbelief and poverty, and I seek Your refuge from the punishment of the grave.

Hisnul Muslim 80 · Sahih — Abu Dawud 5090, Ahmad

بِسْمِ اللّٰهِ الَّذِي لَا يَضُرُّ مَعَ اسْمِهِ شَيْءٌ فِي الأَرْضِ وَلَا فِي السَّمَاءِ وَهُوَ السَّمِيعُ الْعَلِيمُ

Bismillahil-ladhi la yadurru ma'as-mihi shay'un fil-ardi wa la fis-sama'i wa huwas-sami'ul-alim

In the name of Allah, with whose name nothing is harmed on earth or in the heavens, and He is the All-Hearing, the All-Knowing.
