These supplications are recited immediately after completing the salām of every obligatory prayer. Stay in your prayer place and recite them before moving.
When to recite: Immediately after saying the taslīm (salām) at the end of any farḍ prayer. The Prophet ﷺ would remain seated and recite these before standing.
Lā ilāha illa llāhu waḥdahu lā sharīka lah, lahu l-mulku wa lahu l-ḥamdu, wa huwa ʿalā kulli shayʾin qadīr. Allāhumma lā māniʿa limā aʿṭayt, wa lā muʿṭiya limā manaʿt, wa lā yanfaʿu dha l-jaddi minka l-jadd.
There is no god but Allah alone, with no partner. To Him belongs all sovereignty and praise, and He is over all things capable. O Allah, none can withhold what You have given, and none can give what You have withheld.
Ṣaḥīḥ al-Bukhārī 844, Ṣaḥīḥ Muslim 593.
Dua 4
No power except with Allah
After prayer
لَا حَوْلَ وَلَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللَّهِ
Lā ḥawla wa lā quwwata illā billāh.
There is no power and no strength except with Allah.
Ṣaḥīḥ al-Bukhārī 4205, Ṣaḥīḥ Muslim 2704.
The Prophet ﷺ called this “a treasure from the treasures of Paradise.”
Allāhu lā ilāha illā huwa l-Ḥayyu l-Qayyūm. Lā taʾkhudhuhu sinatun wa lā nawm. Lahu mā fi s-samāwāti wa mā fi l-arḍ. Man dha lladhī yashfaʿu ʿindahu illā bi-idhnih. Yaʿlamu mā bayna aydīhim wa mā khalfahum. Wa lā yuḥīṭūna bi-shayʾin min ʿilmihi illā bi-mā shāʾ. Wasiʿa kursiyyuhu s-samāwāti wa l-arḍ. Wa lā yaʾūduhu ḥifẓuhumā. Wa huwa l-ʿAliyyu l-ʿAẓīm.
Allah — there is no god but He, the Ever-Living, the Sustainer of all. Neither drowsiness overtakes Him nor sleep. To Him belongs whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on the earth. Who can intercede with Him except by His permission? He knows what is before them and what is behind them, and they encompass nothing of His knowledge except what He wills. His Throne extends over the heavens and the earth, and their preservation does not tire Him. And He is the Most High, the Most Great.
an-Nasāʾī in al-Sunan al-Kubrā.
Whoever recites Āyat al-Kursī after every obligatory prayer, nothing prevents him from entering Paradise except death.
Bismillāhi r-Raḥmāni r-Raḥīm. Qul huwa llāhu Aḥad. Allāhu ṣ-Ṣamad. Lam yalid wa lam yūlad. Wa lam yakun lahu kufuwan aḥad.
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. Say: He is Allah, the One. Allah, the Eternal Refuge. He neither begets nor is born. And there is none comparable to Him.
Bismillāhi r-Raḥmāni r-Raḥīm. Qul aʿūdhu bi-Rabbi l-falaq. Min sharri mā khalaq. Wa min sharri ghāsiqin idhā waqab. Wa min sharri n-naffāthāti fi l-ʿuqad. Wa min sharri ḥāsidin idhā ḥasad.
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. Say: I seek refuge in the Lord of the daybreak. From the evil of that which He created. And from the evil of darkness when it settles. And from the evil of those who blow on knots. And from the evil of an envier when he envies.
Bismillāhi r-Raḥmāni r-Raḥīm. Qul aʿūdhu bi-Rabbi n-nās. Maliki n-nās. Ilāhi n-nās. Min sharri l-waswāsi l-khannās. Alladhī yuwaswisu fī ṣudūri n-nās. Mina l-jinnati wa n-nās.
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. Say: I seek refuge in the Lord of mankind. The King of mankind. The God of mankind. From the evil of the retreating whisperer. Who whispers in the breasts of mankind. From among the jinn and mankind.
Abū Dāwūd 1523, Tirmidhī 2903.
The Prophet ﷺ commanded ʿUqbah to recite these after every prayer.
Lā ilāha illa llāhu waḥdahu lā sharīka lah, lahu l-mulku wa lahu l-ḥamdu, wa huwa ʿalā kulli shayʾin qadīr.
There is no god but Allah alone, with no partner. To Him belongs all sovereignty and praise, and He is over all things capable.
Ṣaḥīḥ Muslim 597 — narrated by Abū Hurayrah.
Whoever glorifies Allah 33 times, praises Allah 33 times, and magnifies Allah 33 times — then completes the hundred with “Lā ilāha illallāh…” — will have his sins forgiven even if they were as much as the foam of the sea. (Ṣaḥīḥ Muslim 597)
Allāhumma ṣalli ʿalā Muḥammadin wa ʿalā āli Muḥammad, kamā ṣallayta ʿalā Ibrāhīma wa ʿalā āli Ibrāhīm, innaka Ḥamīdun Majīd. Allāhumma bārik ʿalā Muḥammadin wa ʿalā āli Muḥammad, kamā bārakta ʿalā Ibrāhīma wa ʿalā āli Ibrāhīm, innaka Ḥamīdun Majīd.
O Allah, send Your grace upon Muhammad and the family of Muhammad, as You sent grace upon Ibrāhīm and the family of Ibrāhīm. Indeed, You are Praiseworthy, Glorious. O Allah, bless Muhammad and the family of Muhammad, as You blessed Ibrāhīm and the family of Ibrāhīm. Indeed, You are Praiseworthy, Glorious.
Ṣaḥīḥ al-Bukhārī 3370, Ṣaḥīḥ Muslim 406.
This is the Durūd Ibrāhīm — the same salawat recited in every prayer during tashahhud. The most authentic and complete form of sending blessings upon the Prophet ﷺ.

There is no god but Allah alone, with no partner. To Him belongs sovereignty and praise, and He is over all things capable. There is no power and no strength except with Allah. There is no god but Allah, and we worship none but Him. To Him belongs all blessing, to Him belongs all grace, and to Him belongs all good praise. There is no god but Allah — sincere in devotion to Him, even if the disbelievers detest it.
Ṣaḥīḥ Muslim 594 — narrated by ʿAbdullāh ibn az-Zubayr.
