Foreword
Praise and thanks be to Allah. I do exalt Him and seek His forgiveness. I testify that there is no God but Allah. He is the only Lord. We worship none but Him. I testify that Muhammad is Allah's slave and Messenger - may Allah's peace and blessings be unto him, his kin and his sahaabah (companions). I have read this wtrd of Daily and Nightly Supplications, selected by Khaled Ibn AbdulRahman Al-Jeraisy from Prophet Muhammad's established prayers. Though brief, the wirdis as beneficial as a detailed one. May Allah reward the writer for choosing the wirdcontents and bless his efforts and works. May Allah's peace and blessings be unto Prophet Muhammad, his kin and his

sahaabah.

Introduction
Praise be to Allah, Who makes the dawn break, has designated night for rest, and grants His slaves their provisions from His bounty. None can do without Him, but He is in no need at all. He is immortal, but we are not. To Him belongs perfection, but to us imperfection belongs. I do praise Him in private and in public. I testify that there is no God, but Allah, alone without partners. I testify to His absolute oneness, a testimony most valued on the Day when oneness matters most. I also testify that Muhammad is His slave and Messenger, master of the trustworthy elite, who says, "Vie for doing good deeds before you are tried.,,(l) He is the best at remembering His Lord at all times. It is with him that Allah has perfected the Light of Islam, and has removed the darkness of polytheism. May Allah's peace and blessings be unto him, his kin, his sahaabah (who are like the brightness of

Introduction

daylight and the shining stars at night) and his genuine followers. If constantly done, deeds generally increase in value, and the earlier and more properly concluded the better. Remembrance of Allah by day and night has great value and special reward. Therefore, I have compiled in this booklet a selection of adhkaar (remembrance supplications) from the Prophet's established prayers. In the Arabic text, the adhkaar are properly marked with inflection signs to facilitate reading and learning. Also, the adhkaar are arranged in the order of their respective times in accordance with the Muslim's usual daily and nightly activities. Special attention is given to supplications for early morning and evening sessions. The adhkaar are arranged in such a way as to be - by Allah's Grace -learnable and accessible at all times. In order to facilitate learning the adhkaar by heart, we have made a voice recording of the wtrd - thanks be to Allah. This booklet consists of two chapters: Chapter 1 is concerned with the supplications concomitant with the

Introduction

13

Muslim's usual activities in one day and night; Chapter 2 is concerned with the early morning and evening adhkaar. The Arabic edition is supplemented by a card on which is recorded the early morning and evening adhkaar. It is easy to carry, so its benefit can spread widely, and those who do not easily learn by heart can make good use of it. This is considered a response to Allah's command: "(125) Call unto the way of thy Lord with wisdom and fair exhortation .... [Surat An-N ahl, Ayah 125]. By it I am seeking reward from Allah, as promised in the Hadith: "If one directs others to a good deed, one is entitled to a reward (from Allah) equal to that of those who do it (following his direction). ,,(2) I pray to Allah, the Exalted, to accept my effort in the production of this booklet, and to make it well received in this world. I hope that whoever benefits from this booklet will pray for me and my parents at the most opportune times for prayer. However, I hope that whoever finds faults with the booklet will be so kind as to have

them corrected, if possible, in a manner indicative ofknow1edge and good intention. Whatever power or strength I may have is from Allah, the Magnificent; He suffices me, on Him I rely, and from His Bounty comes my provision. May Allah's peace and blessings be unto His Prophet Muhammad, his kin, his sahaabah and those who follow his Sunnah and guidance.

Pronunciation Guide

Pronunciation Guide
In this text, each supplication appears in this format: an English transliteration (in italics) of the Arabic original, followed by a translation of the meaning in English (in parentheses), then by the Arabic original. Below is a Pronuncia tion Guide, which aims to facilitate reading the transliteration of the Arabic original. It avoids technical terms and provides a simplified approximation of Arabic pronunciation. At the bottom of each two pages, there are words representing, to a great extent, the pronunciation symbols.

[2] Recite Surat AI-Ikhlaas, Surat Al-FaIaq and Surat An-Naas One should recite these Surahs three times(7S) each as part of the Adhkaar following the F ajr and Asr salaam in particular, as part of the morning and the evening AtllJktlllr and on going to bed. By Allah's Grace, given purified intentions, doing so qualifies one for protection from evil.

84 "There is no God but Allah, alone without partners. To Him belongs the dominion, and to Him all praise is due. He has power over all things. "

If one says the above-mentioned supplication ten times, one gets a reward equal to freeing one person from the offspring of Isma'eel may Allah's blessings be upon him. If one repeats it a hundred times, one is given a hundred rewards, a hundred of one's sins are atoned, and one is protected from Satan all day till nightfall. [4] Say these prayers three times(77):

"Glory and praise be to Allah as many times as the number of His creatures, as much as He pleases, as heavy as His Throne and as lasting as the ink ever used to record His words."

The above prayer is considered to be worth more than all the supplications said by Om Al-Mu'mineen (the mother of the faithful) Iwairiyah from dawn to Duha (the time starting from the brightening of the sun light and ending a little before noon).

[5] One should say:

Chapter 1

It is recommended that one should say the above prayer ten times(BO) r as many times as o he likes. The Prophet said, "If one invokes Allah's blessings on me once, Allah blesses him ten times.,,(81) One should also invoke Allah's prayers and blessings on the Prophet on Friday in particular, for he said, "One of your best days is Friday, so invoke Allah's peace and blessings on me that day ....,,(82)

"I seek Allah's forgiveness, and to Him I relent. "

This can be said 70-100 times(84). It brings comfort into one's heart.
