Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) was constant in remembering and supplicating Allah Almighty.
He would supplicate Him in every situation and all circumstances and he used to teach his companions to do so because remembering Allah means linking and connecting to Him.
There are so many duas that Prophet Muhammad used to say in his daily life, but here, we selected some beautiful ones:
Anas said: “The supplication that the Prophet made very frequently is this:
O Allah, grant us the good in this world and the good in the Hereafter and save us from the torment of Hell-Fire.” (Muslim)
(Allahumma atina fi dunya hasanatan wa fil akhirati hasanatan wa qina ‘adhaba annar.)
Seeking Refuge & Protection
Narrated Sa`d bin Abi Waqqas:
The Prophet (peace be upon him) used to teach us these words as he used to teach us the Book (Quran):
O Allah! I seek refuge with You from miserliness, and seek refuge with You from cowardice, and seek refuge with You from being brought back to (senile) geriatric old age, and seek refuge with You from the affliction of the world and from the punishment in the Hereafter.” (Bukhari)
“Allahumma inni a’oodhu bika min-al-bukhl wa a’oodhu bika min-al jubn, wa a’oodhu bika min an noradda ila ardhali al omr, wa a’oodhu bika min fitnati dunya, wa ‘adhabi-l Qabr.”
Guidance & Forgiveness
“O Allah! Indeed I, I ask of You, guidance, piety and chastity and to be free of depending upon anyone (except You)”(Muslim)
Allahumma ighfirli dhambi kullahu diqqahu wa jillahu wa awwalahu wa akhirahu wa ‘alaniyatahu wa sirrahu.
O Allah! The One Who turns the hearts, turn my heart towards Your obedience.” (Muslim)
Ya musarrifa-l quloobi sarrif qalbi ala ta’atik.
Beneficial Knowledge
O Allah! Benefit me through what You teach me and teach me what is beneficial for me and increase me in knowledge.” (Ibn Majah)
Allahumm anfa’ni bima ‘allamtani wa ‘allimni ma yanfa’ni wa zidni ‘ilma.
“Allahumma inni a’udhu bika min zawali ni’matika, wa tahawwuli ‘afiyatika, wa fuja’ati niqmatika, wa jami’i sakhatika“
Ibn Mas’ud reported: One of the supplications of the Messenger of Allah was:
“Allahumma inni as’aluka mujibati rahmatika, wa ‘aza’ima maghfiratika, was-salamata min kulli ithmin, wal-ghanimata min kulli birrin, wal-fawza bil- jannati, wannajata mina-nar.”
The Messenger of Allah used to say when he was in distress:
“La ilaha illallahul-Azimul-Halim. La ilaha illallahu Rabbul-‘Arshil-‘Azim. La ilaha illallahu Rabbus-samawati, wa Rabbul-ardi, wa Rabbul-‘Arshil- Karim.”
