What to say after prayer Fatwa Date : Thul-Hijjah 2, 1421 / 26-2-2001 Question what should we say after prayers? Answer Praise be to Allah, the Lord of the Worlds; and blessings and peace be upon our Prophet Muhammad and upon all his Family and Companions. The Prophet Muhammad (Blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) used to perform Dua (supplication) after concluding his prayer. Here are some chosen forms: Asking Allahs forgiveness as reported in a Hadith in which, Thauban ( may Allaah be pleased with him) reported: Whenever the Messenger of Allah (Blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) concluded his prayer, he would beg forgiveness from Allah thrice and then would recite: Allahumma Antas-Salamu, wa minkas-Salamu, tabarakta ya Dhal-Jalali wal-Ikram (O Allah, You are the Grantor of security, and security comes from You. You are Blessing, O You Who have majesty and nobility)! (Imam) Al-Awzai, one of the narrators of this Hadith, was asked: How forgiveness is to be sought? He answered: The Messenger of Allah (Blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) used to say: Astaghfirullah! Astaghfirullah! (I beseech Allah for forgiveness, I beseech Allah for forgiveness). [Muslim]. La ilaha illallahu wahdahu la sharika lahu, lahul-mulku, wa lahul-hamdu, wa Huwa ala kulli shaiin Qadir. Allahumma la mania lima atayta, wa la mutiya lima manata, wa la yanfau dhal-jaddi, minkal-jaddu (there is no true god except Allah. He is One and He has no partner with Him, His is the sovereignty and His is the praise, and He is Omnipotent. O Allah! None can deny that which You bestow and none can bestow that which You hold back; and the greatness of the great will be of no avail to them against You.) [Al Bukhari and Muslim]. La ilaha illallahu wahdahu la sharika lahu, lahul-mulku, wa lahul-hamdu, wa Huwa ala kulli shaiin Qadir. La hawla wa la quwwata illa billah. La ilaha illallahu, wa la nabudu illa iyyahu, Lahun-nimatu, wa lahul-fadlu, wa lahuth-thanaul-hasan. La ilaha ilallahu, mukhlisina, lahud-dina, wa lau karihal-kafirun (there is no true god except Allah; He is One. To Him belongs the dominion and to Him is all praise, and He is Powerful over all things. There is no power and might except with (the help of) Allah. There is no God but Allah and we worship none except Him, to Him belongs the bounty and to Him belongs the grace, and to Him belongs all excellent praise; there is no deity but Allah. We reserve our devotion exclusively for Him though the disbelievers may detest it) [Muslim]. Reciting Tasbih, Takbir, and Tahmeed thirty-three times after each Salah as mentioned in Hadith. Abu Hurairah ( may Allaah be pleased with him) reported: The Messenger of Allah (Blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) said, He who recites after every prayer: Subhan-Allah (Allah is free from imperfection) thirty-three times; Al-hamdu lillah (praise be to Allah) thirty-three times; Allahu Akbar (Allah is The Greatest) thirty-three times; and completes the hundred with: La ilaha illallahu, wahdahu la sharika lahu, lahul-mulku wa lahul-hamdu, wa Huwa ala kulli shaiin Qadir (there is no true god except Allah. He is One and He has no partner with Him. His is the sovereignty and His is the praise, and He is Omnipotent), will have all his sins pardoned even if they may be as large as the foam on the surface of the sea. [Muslim]. Kab bin Ujrah ( may Allaah be pleased with him) reported: The Messenger of Allah (Blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) said, There are some words, the reciters of which will never be disappointed. These are: Tasbih [saying Subhan-Allah (Allah is free from imperfection)], thirty-three times, Tahmid [saying Al-hamdu lillah (praise be to Allah)] thirty-three times and Takbir [saying Allahu Akbar (Allah is The Greatest)] thirty-four times; and these should be recited after the conclusion of every prescribed prayer. [Muslim]. Alla-humma inni audhu bika minal-jubni wal-bukhl, wa audhu bika min an uradda ila ardhalil-umur, wa audhu bika min fitnatid-dunya, wa audhu bika min fitnatil-qabr (O Allah, I seek refuge with You from cowardice, miserliness and from being sent back to a feeble age; and, seek refuge with You from the trials of this life and those of the grave). [Al-Bukhari]. Allahumma ainni ala dhikrika, wa shukrika, wa husni ibadatika (O Allah, help me remember You, to be grateful to You, and to worship You in an excellent manner). [Abu Dawud]. Reciting Ayah al-Kursi: see Quran [2:255]. Suras of al-Ikhlas, al-Falaq - and al-Nas. [112, 113, 114]. We advise you to consult some books of supplications for more details. Allah knows best.
