Praying before we sleep โ€“ DUA FOR SLEEPING

Before we close our eyes and rest for the night, it is essential to turn to Allah, seeking His protection and guidance in our dreams. The sleeping hours provide a time for our bodies and souls to rejuvenate, and invoking Allahโ€™s blessings and mercy before sleep is a beautiful reminder of His infinite love and care for us.

Hold the palms together, blow (with a little spittle) into them, and recite:
โ€œWith the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
Say: He is Allah (the) One. The Self-Sufficient Master, Whom all creatures need, He begets not nor was He begotten, and there is none equal to Him.
With the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
Say: I seek refuge with (Allah) the Lord of the daybreak, from the evil of what He has created, and from the evil of the darkening (night) as it comes with its darkness, and from the evil of those who practice witchcraft when they blow in the knots, and from the evil of the envier when he envies.
With the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
Say: I seek refuge with (Allah) the Lord of mankind, the King of mankind, the God of mankind, from the evil of the whisperer who withdraws, who whispers in the breasts of mankind, of jinns and men.โ€
(Then pass your hands over as much of your body as you can reach, beginning with the head and the face, then the entire front of your body. Do this three times.)

Dua for sleeping

Prophet Mohammed (PBUH) taught us that whoever reads this when he lies down to sleep will have a guardian from Allah remain with him and Satan will not be able to come near him until he rises in the morning.

Allah! There is none worthy of worship but He, the Ever-Living, the One Who sustains and protects all that exists. Neither slumber nor sleep overtakes Him. To Him belongs whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on the earth. Who is he that can intercede with Him except with His Permission? He knows what happens to them in this world, and what will happen to them in the Hereafter. And they will never encompass anything of His Knowledge except that which He wills. His Throne extends over the heavens and the earth, and He feels no fatigue in guarding and preserving them. And He is the Most High, the Most Great.

The Messenger believes in what has been sent down to him from his Lord, and so do the believers. Each one believes in Allah, His Angels, His Books, and His Messengers. They say: โ€œWe make no distinction between any of His Messengers, โ€œand they say: โ€œWe hear, and we obey.(We seek) Your Forgiveness, our Lord, and to You is the return. โ€œAllah burdens not a person beyond what he can bear. He gets rewarded for that (good) which he has earned, and he is punished for that (evil) which he has earned. Our Lord! Punish us not if we forget or fall into error. Our Lord! Lay not on us a burden like that which You did lay on those before us. Our Lord! Put not on us a burden greater than we have the strength to bear. Pardon us and grant us forgiveness. Have mercy on us. You are our Protector, and help us against the disbelieving people.

O Allah! Lord of the seven heavens and Lord of the Magnificent Throne. Our Lord and the Lord of everything. Splitter of the grain and the date-stone, Revealer of the Torah and the Injeel1ย and the Furqan (the Qurโ€™an), I seek refuge in You from the evil of everything that You shall seize by the forelock.2ย O Allah You are the First and nothing has come before you, and You are the Last, and nothing may come after You. You are the Most High, nothing is above You and You are the Most Near, and nothing is nearer than You. Remove our debts from usand enrich us against poverty.ย 3

The dua fosters a stronger connection to Allah, as we place our well-being and our rest in His hands.

May this supplication bring tranquility to your soul and elevate your connection with the Almighty. As you embark on this journey of spiritual growth, seek His guidance and mercy in every aspect of your life. May Allah grant you continuous blessings, and may your faith in Him never falter, even during the most challenging times.
