The first words on a believer’s tongue when waking are praise of Allah and acknowledgement of His favour: He returned his soul, gave him health and allowed him to remember and thank Him.
The waking adhkar declare reliance on Allah and renew one’s covenant with Him, a strong foundation for a productive, successful and peaceful day.
Alhamdu lillahil-ladhi ahyana ba‘da ma amatana wa ilayhin-nushur
Praise be to Allah who gave us life after He had caused us to die, and to Him is the resurrection.
Praise be to Allah who gave me well-being in my body, returned my soul to me and allowed me to remember Him.
“Alhamdu lillahil-ladhi ahyana ba‘da ma amatana wa ilayhin-nushur” (Praise be to Allah who gave us life after causing us to die, and to Him is the resurrection), authentically reported in al-Bukhari and Muslim.
