dua after waking up

Sleeping is a gift and a blessing from Allah. Waking up from it, opening your eyes in the morning, and waking up in time is also a reward from Allah.

After waking up, recite the following supplication,

الْحَمْدُ للهِ الَّذِي أَحْيَانَا بَعْدَ مَا أَمَاتَنَا وَإِلَيْهِ النُّشُورُ

Alhamdu lillahil-lathee ahyana baAAda ma amatana wa-ilayhin-nushoor.

Praise is to Allah Who gives us life after He has caused us to die and to Him is the return.

لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ وَحْدَهُ لَا شَرِيكَ لَهُ، لَهُ الْمُلْكُ وَلَهُ الْحَمْدَ، وَهُوَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ. سُبْحَانَ اللهِ، وَالْحَمْدُ للهِ، ولَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ، وَاللهُ أَكْبَرُ، وَلَا حَوْلَ وَلَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللهِ العَلِيِّ الْعَظيِمِ، ربِّ اغْفِرلِي

Laa illaha illallahu wahdahu la shareeka lahu, lahul-mulku wa lahul-hamdu, wa Huwa alaa kulli shay in Qadeer Subhaanallahi, walhamdu lillaahi, wa laa ilaha illallahu, wallaahu akbar, wa laa hawla wa laa Quwwata illaa billaahil- Aliyyil- Adheem, Rabbighfir lee.

الْحَمْدُ للهِ الَّذِي عَافَانِي فِي جَسَدِي، وَرَدَّ عَلَيَّ رُوحِي، وَأَذِنَ لِي بِذِكْرِهِ

Alhamdu lillaahil-lathee aafaanee fee jasadee, wa radda alayya roohee, wa athina lee bithikrihi.

Praise is to Allah Who gave strength to my body and returned my soul to me and permitted me to remember Him.

There is none worthy of worship but Allah alone, Who has no partner, His is the dominion and to Him belongs all praise, and He is able to do all things. Glory is to Allah. Praise is to Allah. There is none worthy of worship but Allah. Allah is the Greatest. There is no might and no power except by Allah s leave, the Exalted, the Mighty. My Lord, forgive me.

Why should you recite Dua After Waking Up?

Some people die in their sleep. Therefore, every new day is a gift from Allah.

After waking up from a full night's sleep, we should first thank Allah (SWT), that He gifted us one more day. So that we may lead our life as per His will, and be successful.

Allah made such a system, that during sleep our brain keeps working. And we turn our sides automatically. As a result, when we wake up, we are sound and healthy.

No part of our body is paralyzed. The secret of a healthy, successful, peaceful, and pleasant life, is that our morning begins with the remembrance of Allah, and say اَلْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ.

Peace and tranquility lie in the remembrance of Allah only.

Our hearts should be filled up with joy, and feel thanks to Allah when we wake up. When we start our morning with this state, the whole day will be successful inshAllah.

After getting up from bed, we get engaged in our routine work, but a day will come when every soul is resurrected from its death and will return to meet Allah,

We can also say these words وَإِلَيْهِ النُّشُورُ

with the passion to meet Allah (SWT), because, in a hadith, Rasulullah (Sallallahu alaihi wasallam) said, "Whoever loves to meet Allah, Allah loves to meet him."

We say, "O Allah, grant us Tawfiq to do good deeds so that we wake up on that day to be granted the ultimate success by Your mercy."
