March 4, 2025
Ziyarat Imam Ali(as) recited on on 21st of Ramadan
March 5, 2025Duas for Bedtime & Waking Up

God takes the souls at the time of their death, and those that do not die during their sleep; then He withholds those on whom He has passed the decree of death and sends the others back till an appointed term; most surely there are signs in this for a people who reflect.
Sura az-Zumar, 39:42
We can convert the hours we sleep into time spent in HIS ‘Obedience & Worship’ by being attentive to these matters…
It is highly emphasized to do Ablutions (wudhoo) before going to sleep.
A person sleeping in the state of having performed Wudhoo gets the reward of having done worship for the whole night.
The Prophet (saws) informed his daughter Fatima (sa) that before going to bed, she should do 4 things:
Recite Sura Ikhlass 3 times.
This is like reciting the full Quran.
Recite Salwaat 10 times.
This will get intercession from Prophets.
اَللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَىٰ مُحَمَّدٍ وَآلِ مُحَمَّدٍ
Allahumma Salle Ala Muhammadin Wa Aale Muhammad
O Allah send blessings on Muhammad & his family.
Seek Forgiveness for all believers.
This is equal to making all believers happy.
اَللَّهُمَّ مغفرلى مؤمنين و مؤمنات
Allahuma maghfir le momineen wal moninaat
O Allah, Please forgive all the believing men & women.
Recite the following, which is equal to doing Haj & Umra:
سُبْحَانَ اللهِ وَ الْحَمْدُ لِلهِ وَ لَا اِلٰهَ اِلَّا اللهُ وَ اللهُ اَكْبَر
Subhaanallaahi wa’l hamdu lillaahi wa laa ilaaha illallaahu wallaahu Akbar
Glory be to God, and praise be to God; there is no god but Allah, and Allah is Greater.
Imam Ali (as) recommends:
Recite 4 times Sura Al Hamd for the reward of giving 4000 dirhams in sadqa & recite “Astaghfirullah” 10 times for the reward of resolving disputes between believers.
Recite the Tasbeeh e Fatima (sa) before going to bed.
Recite this 3 times, which is equivalent to reciting 1000 rakat. Imam Ali (as) reports from the Prophet (saws):
يفْعَلُ اللهُ مَا يَشَاءُ بِقُدْرَتِهِ وَيَحْكُمُ مَا يُرِيدُ بِعِزَّتِهِ
“Yafalollaho Mashao be qudrati wa yahkomo ma yurido be izzate.”
He does what HE wills and rules what HE wills by HIS power.
Prophet (saws) dua:
بِاسْمِكَ اَللّهُمَّ أَحْيا وبِاسْمِكَ أَمُوتُ
Bismeka Allhumma Ahyaa wa bismeka amooto
With Your name do I live and with Your name I die.
Imam al-Sadiq (`a) is reported to have said:
Whoever repeats the following three times before going to bed will be released from his sins as a New Born:
الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ ٱلَّذِي عَلاَ فَقَهَرَ
alhamdu lillahi alladhi `ala faqahara
All praise be to Allah Who has exalted, thus dominated.
وَٱلْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ ٱلَّذِي بَطَنَ فَخَبَرَ
walhamdu lillahi alladhi batana fakhabara
All praise be to Allah Who has been immanent, thus known all things.
وَٱلْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ ٱلَّذِي مَلَكَ فَقَدَرَ
walhamdu lillahi alladhi malaka faqadara
All praise be to Allah Who has owned all things, thus had power over them all.
وَٱلْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ ٱلَّذِي يُحْيِي ٱلْمَوْتىٰ
walhamdu lillahi alladhi yuhyi almawta
All praise be to Allah Who gives life to the dead,
وَيُمِيتُ ٱلاحْيَاءَ
wa yumitu al-ahya’a
causes the living to die,
وَهُوَ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ
