Introduction

We have been commanded to remember Allah.

Allah says in the Quran in Surah al-Ahzab, Verse 42, O you who have believed, remember Allah with much remembrance.

This book contains the authentic supplications that you should say before doing the actions, for divine protection.

These remembrances are the most effective weapon to defeat our enemy, the shaytaan.

Allah commanded Yahya ibn Zakariya to tell the children of Israel to perform five duties. One of them was the frequent remembrance of Allah.

Yahya said, I command you to remember Allah often, for the likeness of that, is like a man whose enemy chases him with high speed until he comes to a strong fortress where he protects himself from him. Similarly, a servant cannot protect himself against the shaytaan except by remembering Allah.

When Waking Up

Prayer 1

Praise be to Allah Who has given us life

After He had caused us to die

And to Him is the resurrection.

Prayer 2

The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said, Whoever awakes at night and then says :

None has the right to be worshipped except Allah,

Alone without associate,

To him belongs sovereignty,

And to Him belongs praise,

And He

- is over all things wholly capable.

How perfect is Allah,

and all praise is for Allah,

and none has the right to be worshipped except Allah,

Allah is the Greatest.

And there is no power

And there is no might

- except with Allah,

The Most High,

The Supreme.

The Prophet (peace be upon him) said, and then supplicates :

O my Lord forgive me.

will be forgiven.

Al-Waleed said, or He (the Prophet, peace be upon him) said: and then asks, he will be answered. If he then performs ablution and prays, his prayer will be accepted.

Prayer 3

All praise is due to Allah Who healed me in my body,

and returned to me, my soul,

and permitted me to remember him.
