Fajr Taqeebat

Recited after the obligatory Fajr salat

Before Fajr Salat

1. Recite 2 Rakat Nafila

When the Holy Prophet (saws) had prayed two rak'ahs nafilah before the Fajr Prayer, He laid down on his right side and placed his right hand under his right cheek, then said:

اِسْتَمْسَكْتُ بِعُرْوَةِ اللهِ الْوُثْقٰى الَّتِيْ لَا انْفِصَامَ لَهَا وَ اسْتَعْصَمْتُ بِحَبْلِ اللهِ الْمَتِيْنِ

istamsakto be-u'rwatil laahil wusqal latee lan fesaama lahaa was ta'samto be-hablil laahil mateen

I have laid hold of the firmest handle of Allah which shall not break off and I have clung to the strong rope of Allah.

اَعُوْذُ بِاللهِ مِنْ فَوْرَةِ الْعَرَبِ وَ الْعَجَمِ وَ اَعُوْذُ بِاللهِ مِنْ شَرِّ شَيَاطِيْنِ الْاِنْسِ وَ الْجِنِّ

a-o'ozo billaahe min fawratil a'rabe wal a'jame wa a-o'ozo billaahe min sharre shayaateenil inse wal jinn

I seek refuge with Allah from the outbursts of the Arab and the non-Arab, and I seek refuge with Allah from the evil of the devils from the man and jinn.

تَوَكَّلْتُ عَلَى اللهِ طَلَبْتُ حَاجَتِيْ مِنَ اللهِ حَسْبِيَ اللهُ وَ نِعْمَ الْوَكِيْلُ لَا حَوْلَ وَ لَا قُوَّةَ اِلَّا بِاللهِ الْعَلِيِّ الْعَظِيْمِ

tawakkalto a'lal laahe talabto haajatee menal laahe hasbeyal laaho wa ne'mal wakeelo laa hawla wa laa quwwata illaa billaahil a'liyyil a'zeeme

I trust in Allah. I seek the fulfillment of my needs from Allah. Allah is enough for me and He is the best Procurator, there is no power or might but by (the will of) Allah the Sublime, the Mighty.

(iii) Dua taught by Imam Ali ibn Musa al-Rida (as):

بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ
وَصَلَّىٰ ٱللَّهُ عَلَىٰ مُحَمَّد وآلِهِ
وَأُفَوِّضُ أَمْرِي إِلَىٰ ٱللَّهِ
إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ بَصيرٌ بِٱلْعِبَادِ
فَوَقَاهُ ٱللَّهُ سَيِّئَاتِ مَا مَكَرُوا
لاَ إِلٰهَ إِلاَّ أَنْتَ سُبْحَانَكَ
إِنِّي كُنْتُ مِنَ ٱلظَّالِمِيـنَ
فَٱسْتَجَبْنَا لَهُ وَنَجَّيْنَاهُ مِنَ ٱلغَمِّ
وَكَذٰلِكَ نُنْجِي ٱلْمُؤْمِنينَ
حَسْبُنَا ٱللَّهُ وَنِعْمَ ٱلْوَكِيلُ
فَٱنَقَلَبُوٱ بِنِعْمَةٍ مِنَ ٱللَّهِ وَفَضْلٍ
لَمْ يَمْسَسْهُمْ سُوءٌ
مَا شَاءَ ٱللَّهُ
لاَ حَوْلَ وَلاَ قُوَّةَ إِلاَّ بِٱللَّهِ
مَا شَاءَ ٱللَّهُ لاَ مَا شَاءَ ٱلنَّاسُ
مَا شَاءَ ٱللَّهُ وَإِنْ كَرِهَ ٱلنَّاسُ
حَسْبِيَ ٱلرَّبُّ مِنَ ٱلْمَرْبُوبِيـنَ
حَسْبِيَ ٱلْخَالِقُ مِنَ ٱلْمَخْلُوقِيـنَ
حَسْبِيَ ٱلرَّازِقُ مِنَ ٱلْمَرْزُوقِيـنَ
حَسْبِيَ ٱللَّهُ رَبُّ ٱلْعَالَمِيـنَ
حَسْبِي مَنْ هُوَ حَسْبِي
حَسْبِي مَنْ لَمْ يَزَلْ حَسْبِي
حَسْبِي مَنْ كَانَ مُذْ كُنْتُ لَمْ يَزَلْ حَسْبِي
حَسْبِيَ ٱللَّهُ لاَ إِلٰهَ إِلاَّ هُوَ
عَلَيْهِ تَوَكَّلْتُ
وَهُوَ رَبُّ ٱلْعَرْشِ ٱلْعَظِيمِ

In the Name of Allah. May Allah bless Muhammad and his Household. “I confide my cause unto Allah. Surely, Allah is Seer of His slaves. So, Allah warded off from him the evils which they plotted.” “There is no god save You. Be You Glorified! Lo! I have been a wrongdoer. Then, We heard his prayer and saved him from the anguish. Thus do We save the believers.” “Allah is Sufficient for us! Most Excellent is He in Whom we trust. So, they returned with grace and favor from Allah, and no harm touched them.” Only that which Allah wills shall come to pass. There is neither strength nor power save with Allah. Only that which Allah, but not people, wills shall come to pass. Only that which Allah wills shall come to pass even if people detest it. Sufficient for me is the Lord against the lorded. Sufficient for me is the Creator against the creatures. Sufficient for me is the Sustainer against the sustained. Sufficient for me is Allah, the Lord of the worlds. Sufficient for me is He Who is sufficient for me. Sufficient for me is He Who has been always sufficient for me. Sufficient for me is He Who had been since eternity and still sufficient for me. “Allah suffices me. There is no god save Him. In Him have I put my trust, and He is the Lord of the Tremendous Throne.”

All Praise to Allah who made Himself known to me & did not make me blind hearted.

All Praise to Allah who has ordained my sustenance to be in HIS own hands & not in the hands of human beings.

اَلْحَمْدُ لِلهِ الَّذِيْ سَتَرَ ذُنُوْبِيْ وَ عُيُوْبِيْ وَ لَمْ يَفْضَحْنِيْ بَيْنَ الْخَلَایِقِ

All Praise to Allah who has covered my sins & shortcomings & did not degrade me in the eyes of Human beings.

11. Syeda Fatima Zehra (sa) Supplication:

لَا اِلٰہَ اِلَّا اللہُ وَحْدَہٗ لَا شَرِیْكَ لَہٗ، لَہُ الْمُلْكُ وَ لَہُ الْحَمْدُ، یُحْیِیْ وَ یُمِیْتُ، بِیَدِہِ الْخَیْرُ، وَ ہُوَ عَلٰی كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِیْرٌ

There is no god, except Allah, the one, there is no partner for Him. For Him is the kingdom and for Him is the praise. He enlivens and gives death, in His hands is the good. And He is powerful over everything.

12. Dua of Imam Ali (as) on the Night of Hijrah:

The Holy Prophet (saws) asked Imam Ali (as) to recite this dua when the pagans plotted to kill him:

يَا مَنْ لَيْسَ لَهُ رَبٌّ يُدْعَىٰ
يَا مَنْ لَيْسَ لَهُ شِبْهٌ يُعْدَلُ
يَا مَنْ لَيْسَ لَهُ اسْمٌ يُوصَفُ
يَا مَنْ لَيْسَ لَهُ صَاحِبَةٌ وَ لاَ وَلَدٌ
يَا مُبْتَدِئاً بِالنِّعَمِ قَبْلَ اسْتِحْقَاقِهَا
يَا مُبْتَدِئَ النِّعَمِ قَبْلَ اسْتِحْقَاقِهَا
يَا ذَا الْمُلْكِ وَ الْمَلَكُوتِ
يَا ذَا الْعِزَّةِ وَ الْجَبَرُوتِ
يَا حَيُّ الَّذِي لاَ يَمُوتُ
يَا مَنْ عَلاَ فَقَهَرَ
يَا مَنْ مَلَكَ فَقَدَرَ
يَا مَنْ بَطَنَ فَخَبَرَ
يَا مَنْ عُبِدَ فَشَكَرَ
يَا مَنْ عُصِيَ فَغَفَرَ وَ سَتَرَ
يَا مَنْ لاَ يَحْوِيهِ الْفِكَرُ
وَ لاَ يُدْرِكُهُ بَصَرٌ
وَ لاَ يَخْفَىٰ عَلَيْهِ أَثَرٌ
يَا رَازِقَ الْبَشَرِ
يَا مُقَدِّرَ كُلِّ قَدَرٍ

O He Who has no lord to be prayed to! O He Who has no match to be equated with! O He Who has no description to be characterized with! O He Who has no female companion nor has He a son! O He Who initiates favors before they are deserved! O He Who initiates favors before they are deserved! O Owner of the Kingdom and the Realm! O Owner of the Might and the Omnipotence! O Ever-living Who never dies! O He Who is High so He prevails! O He Who possesses so He determines! O He Who is Internal so He is fully aware! O He Who is worshipped so He rewards! O He Who is disobeyed but He forgives and conceals! O He Who cannot be encompassed by thinking! And cannot be realized by sights! And no trace is hidden from Him! O Provider of sustenance for mankind! O Determiner of all destinies!

13. Supplications of the Holy Prophet (saws):

When the Holy Prophet (saws) did the morning prayer, he used to say:

اَللَّهُمَّ ارْحَمْنِي بِتَرْكِ مَعَاصِيكَ أَبَداً مَا أَبْقَيْتَنِي
وَ ارْحَمْنِي مِنْ أَنْ أَتَكَلَّفَ مَا لاَ يَعْنِينِي
وَ ارْزُقْنِي حُسْنَ النَّظَرِ فِيمَا يُرْضِيكَ عَنِّي
وَ أَلْزِمْ قَلْبِي حِفْظَ كِتَابِكَ كَمَا عَلَّمْتَنِي
وَ ارْزُقْنِي أَنْ أَتْلُوَهُ عَلَىٰ النَّحْوِ الَّذِي يُرْضِيكَ عَنِّي
اَللَّهُمَّ نَوِّرْ بِكِتَابِكَ بَصَرِي
وَ اشْرَحْ بِهِ صَدْرِي
وَ فَرِّحْ بِهِ قَلْبِي
وَ أَطْلِقْ بِهِ لِسَانِي
وَ اسْتَعْمِلْ بِهِ بَدَنِي
وَ قَوِّنِي عَلَىٰ ذٰلِكَ
وَ أَعِنِّي عَلَيْهِ
إِنَّهُ لاَ مُعِينَ عَلَيْهِ إِلاَّ أَنْتَ
لاَ إِلٰهَ إِلاَّ أَنْتَ

O Allah, have mercy on me by enabling me to leave acts of disobedience to You as long as You keep me alive. And have mercy on me by sparing me from tasks that do not concern me. And grant me the favor of good look at what pleases You with me. And make my heart adherent to learning Your Book by heart as You have taught me. And grant me the favor of reciting it in the manner that pleases You with me. O Allah, line my sight with Your Book, expand my chest with it, gladden my heart with it, release my tongue with it, employ my body for it, strengthen me on that, and help me do it. Certainly, there is no helper in this save You. There is no god save You.

14. Supplication in 'Man La Yahzaruhu al-Faqeeh':

اَللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ بِحَقِّ مُحَمَّد وَ آلِ مُحَمَّد عَلَيْكَ
صَلِّ عَلَىٰ مُحَمَّد وَ آلِ مُحَمَّد
وَ اجْعَلِ النُّورَ فِي بَصَرِي
وَ الْبَصِيـرَةَ فِي دِينِي
وَ الْيَقِيـنَ فِي قَلْبِي
وَ الإِخْلاَصَ فِي عَمَلِي
وَ السَّلاَمَةَ فِي نَفْسِي
وَ السَّعَةَ فِي رِزْقِي
وَ الشُّكْرَ لَكَ أَبَداً مَا أَبْقَيْتَنِي

O Allah, I do beseech You, in the name of the right of Muhammad and the Household of Muhammad that is incumbent upon You; [please] send blessings to Muhammad and the Household of Muhammad and put light in my sight, put insight in my faith, put conviction in my heart, put sincerity in my deed, grant me safety in my self, grant me ampleness in my sustenance, And make me thank You forever as long as You keep me alive.

15. From 'Rabeeul Anam':

Recite 3 times (Protection from Shaytan):

اَللَّهُمَّ مُقَلِّبَ الْقُلُوبِ وَ الْأَبْصَارِ ثَبِّتْ قَلْبِي عَلَى دِينِكَ وَ لَا تُزِغْ قَلْبِي بَعْدَ إِذْ هَدَيْتَنِي وَ هَبْ لِي مِنْ لَدُنْكَ رَحْمَةً إِنَّكَ أَنْتَ الْوَهَّابُ وَ أَجِرْنِي مِنَ النَّارِ بِرَحْمَتِكَ اَللَّهُمَّ امْدُدْ لِي فِي عُمْرِي وَ أَوْسِعْ عَلَيَّ فِي رِزْقِي وَ انْشُرْ عَلَيَّ مِنْ رَحْمَتِكَ وَ إِنْ كُنْتُ عِنْدَكَ فِي أُمِّ الْكِتَابِ شَقِيّاً فَاجْعَلْنِي سَعِيداً فَإِنَّكَ تَمْحُو مَا تَشَاءُ وَ تُثْبِتُ وَ عِنْدَكَ أُمُّ الْكِتَابِ

O Allah, the Controller of hearts and sights! Establish my heart on Your religion, and do not cause my heart to stray after You have guided me, and grant me from Yourself mercy; surely You are the Bestower. And save me from the Fire by Your mercy. O Allah, prolong my life, and expand my sustenance for me, and spread Your mercy over me. And if I am recorded in the Mother of the Book as unfortunate, then make me fortunate, for surely You erase what You will and confirm (what You will), and with You is the Mother of the Book.

16. Looking at Aqeeq Ring:

Imam Baqir (as) said: If a person wakes up, wears an Aqeeq ring, turns it towards his palm, and looks at it while reciting Sura Qadr, then recites this:

آمَنْتُ بِٱللَّهِ وَحْدَهُ لاَ شَرِيكَ لَهُ
وَكَفَرْتُ بِٱلْجِبْتِ وَٱلطَّاغُوتِ
وَآمَنْتُ بِسِرِّ آلِ مُحَمَّد وَعَلاَنِيَتِهِمْ
وَظَاهِرِهِمْ وَبَاطِنِهِمْ
وَأَوَّلِهِمْ وَآخِرِهِمْ

I believe in Allah; One and Only and having no partner. And I reject the idol and the devil. And I believe in the secret and open affairs of the Household of Muhammad, their visible and invisible affairs, and their first and their last.

Allah will protect him/her the whole day from all sides (the sky & the earth).

17. Dua of Imam Ja'far al-Sadiq (as):

The Imam (as) said: Whatever else you might leave out, do not leave out these words after every Morning Prayer:

مَا شَاءَ ٱللَّهُ لاَ حَوْلَ وَلاَ قُوَّةَ إِلاَّ بِٱللَّهِ
أَشْهَدُ أَنَّ ٱللَّهَ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ
وَأَنَّ ٱللَّهَ قَدْ أَحَاطَ بِكُلِّ شَيْءٍ عِلْماً
وَأَحْصَىٰ كُلَّ شَيْءٍ عَدَداً
وَأَنَّ ٱللَّهَ إِلَيْهِ يَرْجِعُ ٱلأُمُورُ

Only that which Allah wills shall come to pass. There is neither strength nor power save with Allah. I bear witness that Allah has power over all things, and that Allah encompases all things in (His) knowledge, and that He computes all things in number, and that to Allah return all affairs.

18. Sajda Shukr (Prostration of Thankfulness):

بِسْمِ الله الرَّحْمنِ الرَّحِيمِ
يَا مَاجِدُ يَا جَوَادُ يَا حَيّاً حِينَ لَا حَيَّ
يَا فَرْدُ يَا مُنْفَرِداً بِالْوَحْدَانِيَّةِ
يَا مَنْ لَا يَشْتَبِهُ عَلَيْهِ الْأَصْوَاتُ
يَا مَنْ لَا يَخْفَى عَلَيْهِ اللُّغَاتُ
يَا مَنْ‏ يَعْلَمُ ما تَحْمِلُ كُلُّ أُنْثى‏
وما تَغِيضُ الْأَرْحامُ وما تَزْدادُ
يَا مَنْ‏ يَعْلَمُ خائِنَةَ الْأَعْيُنِ وما تُخْفِي الصُّدُورُ
يَا مَنْ هُوَ أَعْلَمُ بِسَرِيرَتِي مِنِّي بِهَا
يَا مَالِكَ الْأَشْيَاءِ قَبْلَ تَكْوِينِهَا
أَسْأَلُكَ بِاسْمِكَ الْمَكْنُونِ الْمَخْزُونِ الْحَيِّ الْقَيُّومِ
الَّذِي هُوَ نُورٌ مِنْ نُورٍ
وأَسْأَلُكَ بِنُورِكَ السَّاطِعِ فِي الظُّلُمَاتِ
وسُلْطَانِكَ الْغَالِبِ ومُلْكِكَ الْقَاهِرِ لِمَنْ دُونَكَ
وبِقُدْرَتِكَ الَّتِي بِهَا تُذِلُّ كُلَّ شَيْ‏ءٍ
وبِرَحْمَتِكَ الَّتِي وَسِعَتْ كُلَّ شَيْ‏ءٍ
أَسْأَلُكَ أَنْ تُصَلِّيَ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وأَهْلِ بَيْتِهِ
وأَنْ تُعِيذَنِي مِنْ جَمِيعِ مَضَلَّاتِ الْفِتَنِ
ومِنْ شَرِّ جَمِيعِ مَا يَخَافُ أَحَدٌ مِنْ خَلْقِكَ
إِنَّكَ سَمِيعُ‏ الدُّعَاءِ وأَنْتَ أَرْحَمُ الرَّاحِمِينَ‏

In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. O Majestic One, O Generous One, O Ever-Living when none lives. O Unique One, O the One Alone in Oneness. O He to whom no voices are confusing. O He to whom no languages are hidden. O He who knows what every female bears. And what the wombs reduce and what they increase. O He who knows the betrayal of the eyes and what hearts conceal. O He who knows my secrets better than I know them. O Owner of all things before their creation. I ask You by Your hidden and preserved Name, the Living, the Sustainer. Who is Light from Light. And I ask You by Your radiant Light in the darkness. And by Your prevailing authority and overpowering sovereignty over all. And by Your power through which You humble all things. And by Your mercy which encompasses all things. I ask You to send blessings upon Muhammad and his family. And to protect me from all misguiding trials. And from the evil of all that any of Your creation fears. Indeed, You are the Hearer of supplications, and You are the Most Merciful of the merciful.

19. From Sahifa Alawiya (Dua 104):

يا حَيُّ يا قَيُّومُ يا حَيّاً لا يَمُوتُ ، يا حَيُّ لا إِلهَ إِلاّ أَنْتَ ، كاشِفُ الهَمِّ ، مُجِيبُ دَعْوَةِ المُضْطَرِّينَ ، أَسْأَلُكَ بِأَنَّ لَكَ الحَمْدُ لا إِلهَ إِلاّ أَنْتَ ، المَنّانُ بَدِيعُ السَّماواتِ وَالأَرْضِ ، ذُو الجَلالِ وَالإِكْرامِ ، رَحْمانُ الدُّنْيا وَالآخِرَةِ وَرَحِيمَهُما ، رَبِّ ارْحَمْنِي رَحْمَةً تُغْنِينِي بِها عَنْ رَحْمَةِ مَنْ سِواكَ ، يا أَرْحَمَ الرّاحِمِينَ

O Ever-living, O Self-Subsisting, O Ever-living Who never dies, O Ever-living, there is no god but You, the Dispeller of grief, the Answerer of the prayer of the distressed. I ask You- for all praise is due to You; there is no god but You, the Bestower of favors, the Originator of the heavens and the earth, the Lord of Majesty and Honor, the Beneficent of this world and the Hereafter and the Merciful of them- O my Lord, have mercy upon me- such mercy that makes me do without the mercy of anyone other than You. O most Merciful of the merciful.

20. Six Verses for Protection:

Imam Ali (as) said: Anyone who recites these six verses every morning, Allah will protect him from all sides.

Verse 1 (Surah At-Tawbah: 51):

قُل لَّن يُصِيبَنَاۤ إِلَّا مَا كَتَبَ ٱللَّهُ لَنَا هُوَ مَوۡلَٮٰنَاۚ وَعَلَى ٱللَّهِ فَلۡيَتَوَكَّلِ ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنُونَ

Verse 2 (Surah Yunus: 107):

وَإِن يَمۡسَسۡكَ ٱللَّهُ بِضُرٍّ۬ فَلَا كَاشِفَ لَهُ ۥۤ إِلَّا هُوَۖ وَإِن يُرِدۡكَ بِخَيۡرٍ۬ فَلَا رَآدَّ لِفَضۡلِهِۦۚ يُصِيبُ بِهِۦ مَن يَشَآءُ مِنۡ عِبَادِهِۦۚ وَهُوَ ٱلۡغَفُورُ ٱلرَّحِيمُ

Verse 3 (Surah Hud: 6):

وَمَا مِن دَآبَّةٍ۬ فِى ٱلۡأَرۡضِ إِلَّا عَلَى ٱللَّهِ رِزۡقُهَا وَيَعۡلَمُ مُسۡتَقَرَّهَا وَمُسۡتَوۡدَعَهَاۚ كُلٌّ۬ فِى كِتَـٰبٍ۬ مُّبِينٍ۬

Verse 4 (Surah Hud: 56):

إِنِّى تَوَكَّلۡتُ عَلَى ٱللَّهِ رَبِّى وَرَبِّكُمۚ مَّا مِن دَآبَّةٍ إِلَّآ ءَاخِذُۢ بِنَاصِيَتِهَآۚ إِنَّ رَبِّى عَلَىٰ صِرَٲطٍ۬ مُّسۡتَقِيمٍ۬

Verse 5 (Surah Al-Ankabut: 60):

وَكَأَيِّن مِّن دَآبَّةٍ۬ لَّا تَحۡمِلُ رِزۡقَهَا ٱللَّهُ يَرۡزُقُهَا وَإِيَّاكُمۡۚ وَهُوَ ٱلسَّمِيعُ ٱلۡعَلِيمُ

Verse 6 (Surah Fatir: 2):

مَّا يَفۡتَحِ ٱللَّهُ لِلنَّاسِ مِن رَّحۡمَةٍ۬ فَلَا مُمۡسِكَ لَهَاۖ وَمَا يُمۡسِكۡ فَلَا مُرۡسِلَ لَهُ ۥ مِنۢ بَعۡدِهِۦۚ وَهُوَ ٱلۡعَزِيزُ ٱلۡحَكِيمُ

21. Surah At-Talaq (Verses 2-3):

Excellent for sustenance (Rizq). Recite 3 times:

وَمَنْ يَتَّقِ اللَّهَ يَجْعَلْ لَهُ مَخْرَجًا وَيَرْزُقْهُ مِنْ حَيْثُ لَا يَحْتَسِبُ وَمَنْ يَتَوَكَّلْ عَلَى اللَّهِ فَهُوَ حَسْبُهُ إِنَّ اللَّهَ بَالِغُ أَمْرِهِ قَدْ جَعَلَ اللَّهُ لِكُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدْرًا

And whoever fears Allah - He will make for him a way out And will provide for him from where he does not expect. And whoever relies upon Allah - then He is sufficient for him. Indeed, Allah will accomplish His purpose. Allah has already set for everything a [decreed] extent.
